Italy 2021: Måneskin - Zitti e buoni + Global Domination

[ButterTart]

Or if we'll have had ANY MORE AT ALL

Bill Bailey ft. Skin off the Skunk Anansie will be sorting that one out for us next year.

 

[ButterTart]

It's a HIT



Note it making small waves in Turkey. Clearly Eurovision still has a market there. That's a glimmer of hope.

I note with interest that it's not performing quite as well in all of the countries that have done shitly in Eurovision of late. I'm choosing to take this as a sign that we're all desperately out of touch.

Not much rocket science to it, it's just that viewing figures for Eurovision almost universally tend to be terrible in those countries

 

[RJN]

Its top 40 on the midweek and still top 15 on UK Spotify so its looking to be a real, growing, hit. I Wanna Be Your Slave is also rising on Spotify (52 now).

 

[RJN]

I Wanna Be Your Slave is top 40 on Spotify too now

 

[RJN]

Number 17!

 

[OutSynk]

Utterly DISGUSTED to find out the lead singer was born in 1999 - and even worse, the rest all in 2000 or 2001!

What is this SHIT?

 

[Dark Carnival]

SHUM at 59

Number 17!

What's the last non English language winner to perform better?

 

[Alla]

With no English in the lyrics it has to be 4 decades at least, I guess.

 

[Penelope]

What's the last non English winner to perform better?

Nicole (#1), Anne-Marie David (#13) and Vicky Leandros (#2) all released theirs in English. I think it may be the best ever unless I'm missing something obvious? Massiel got to #35 with La La La...

 

[Alla]

After having a look, unless I missed something, I think it's the highest charting ESC winning song in another language, matching the position of another Italian winner, Gigliola Cinquetti (#17 too). I'm not counting songs like Nicole's, because I think it was an English version the one that charted.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Now the dust has settled it feels like a proper STAR MAKING moment for the contest as opposed to something Europe were just flirting with for the night.

I really think they will be seen as an all-time iconic winner in the decades to come.

 

[Penelope]

Zitti e buoni is still top 30 on Spotify and I Wanna Be Your Slave is still top 40 - that an album track is almost certainly going to enter the charts this week is *astonishing*.

Yes, I was thinking Gigliola as well. Of course she did even better when she released 'Si' as 'Go'.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The album is top 10 on Spotify worldwide too, definitely VERY unusual for a winner a week after the contest (although most winners don’t have an album out already )

Much to @Suomi's dismay but he'll get over it.

Severine with Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue reached number 9 in 1971. She recorded it in English as well, but the charting version has the French title so I assume that’s what it was.

Milk & Honey also reached the Top 5, but I assume that was the English version.

 

[Lucille]

They’re surely the COOLEST winner the contest has had?

 

[Diddy]

They’re surely the COOLEST winner the contest has had?

how would you measure that? Most guitars?

 

[Penelope]

POOR BRAVE Charlotte Perrelli with her HIGHLY MODE HAIRCUT and STYLING OCH CONSULTING!

 

[Lucille]

The guitars have LITTLE to do with it, for example Blind Channel we’re very much NOT COOL, however Mahmood WAS.

 

[Hak]

Blind Channel we're very much cool for their "14 year old emo kid trying to fit in" target audience.

Mahmood and Måneskin has a transcendent coolness in that anyone passing them in the street would at least give them a acknowledging glance.

 

[Hak]

In Måneskins case I think Thomas Raggi's contrasting mood swings makes the rest look even cooler.

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

That footage of him taking his trousers off is really QUITE UNSPEAKABLY HOT!

 

[Pingu]

Eurovision winners to have had more than one UK Top 40 hit:

Gigliola Cinquetti
Sandie Shaw
Lulu
Dana
Vicky Leandros
ABBA
Brotherhood of Man
Johnny Logan
Buck's Fizz
Celine Dion
Katrina and the Waves

Three of those (Gigliola, Vicky, Johnny) only got another hit with another Eurovision song and Katrina's other hit was before Eurovision, so when you take those out it's quite an exclusive list. Looks like Måneskin will be joining it on Friday as I Wanna Be Your Slave is comfortably in the midweeks and continuing to climb on Spotify (it's now overtaken Zitti e buoni).

Where is Slave in the midweeks? I can’t navigate the OCC’s awful website.

29. But its up to 27 on Spotify so probably going to get higher throughout the week

 

[Tisch]

Another record.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh wow. Have they made any dint in America at all? They'd be mugs to not go over and do some promo!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Although Loreen is on over 200 million if you put all official videos of Euphoria together

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The performance just KEEPS GETTING BETTER for me.
You cannot fake or deny the ASPIRATIONAL RAW SEX APPEAL and SWAGGER that he just DRIPS!

 

[Pingu]

I Wanna Be Your Slave is up to 21 on Spotify today.

I have been responsible for at least half the views. It's pure sex!

Aside from the elusive and agog drummer, they all have so much chemistry.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

ZITTI E BUONI down to 25 but I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE enters at 24 on this week's chart

 

[Alla]

That's amazing! Bravisimo bambinos!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Two weeks on the chart is pretty crazy, let alone getting another hit!

 

[dUb]

UP to 12 in Ireland with I Wanna Be Your Slave a new entry at 16
