Short Stories of Summer 2024: a playlist – which you can listen to below – for future reference. In other words: what will we remember when we think back to the summer of 2024? The race for the title of catchphrase ended with a draw that leaves no one unhappy: on the one hand “Short stories” Of Tananai and Annalisaon the other “Sex and Samba” Of Tony Effe and Gaia. But the surprise, without taking anything away from the couple composed of the Milanese singer-songwriter and the pop star from Savona and the one composed instead by the ex Dark Polo Gang and the ex winner of “Amici”, is another. Anna Pepe, for the fans simply Annacame more or less out of nowhere and with its “

30°C” has ground out streams and views on the platforms. The success of the hit has driven that of the album “Vera baddie”, nine consecutive weeks – at least until today – at the top of the Fimi/Gfk chart of the best-selling songs in Italy: an absolute record for a female artist in our country. The single “30°C” has been a hit this summer, staying at the top of the Spotify singles chart for 69 consecutive days and becoming the longest-running song at number one this year. Here is the playlist, which you can listen to by clicking on “play”.

Certifications that make up the number and that go to embellish the showcases of the Roman singer and the voice of “Soldi”. It is also platinum “Ale“, the single of Rhove in duet with Capo Plaza, while Emma collects two Gold Records: one with his “Femme fatale”, the other with “Ho voglia di te” together with Olly and Jvli.

The absolute outsider? It’s Adriano Celentano. The Molleggiato, long absent from the music scene, has conquered TikTok with his “Amore no” and its remix, establishing himself as the surprise phenomenon of this strange summer
