What are the Sanremo 2026 songs most played on the radio
One week after the end of the 2026 Sanremo Festival, the verdicts related to the event continue to emerge: not only official rankings and sales, but also data on radio airplay, which often tell a different story than the final result on the Ariston stage.
The most played Sanremo song on Italian radios, according to RadioAirplay data, is “How annoying!” by Totonellapiaga: it was broadcast from 27 February to 5 March 3,371 timeswith a score of 85.4 million. The score, for those who don’t know, is a statistical index used by companies that monitor radios to classify how many times and with what weight a song has been broadcast: national radios weigh more than local ones and the time slot also influences the score (more points in the morning, less at night). For Ditonellapiaga, which ranked at the Festival third placeit’s a small revenge.
In second place among the Sanremo songs is placed “The Romantics” by Tommaso Paradisowhich had only arrived tenth at the Festival: the song was broadcast 2,764 times in the last week, placing third in the general classification of the most played songs on Italian radio, behind “I Just Might” by Bruno Marswhich occupies the second position.
In third place among the Sanremo residents – fourth in the general classification – There are Fedez And Marco Masini with “Necessary evil”with 2,685 steps corresponding to a score of 69.56 million. Next we find Sayf with “I like you a lot” (fourth among Sanremo residents, but sixth in the general classification with 2,580 steps and a score of 66.05 million), And Thunderbolts with “Stupid bad luck” (fifth among Sanremo residents, but seventh in the general classification with 2,879 stepsmore than Sayf and Masini, but with a lower score, equal to 64.9 million).
The last Sanremo song in the top ten is that of the winner of the Festival, Sal Da Vinciwhich is placed ninth in the general classification with 3,194 steps and a score of 61.38 million. Also in this case the data shows how radio success can follow different dynamics compared to the final ranking of the Festival, rewarding songs particularly suitable for the broadcasters’ programming.
