Between 1959, when the first singles chart was introduced in Italy, and 1996, 21 Sanremo Music Festival winning songs reached the top spot of the "Musica e dischi" Singles Chart. In the following years, eleven other winning singles topped the official chart compiled by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry since 1997. Some of the winning songs of the Sanremo Music Festival became international hits after being performed at the Eurovision Song Contest, like Domenico Modugno's "Nel blu dipinto di blu", which took third place in the 1958 contest, Gigliola Cinquetti's "Non ho l'età", which won the European competition in 1964, Mahmood's "Soldi", which placed second in 2019, and the 2021 winning song, "Zitti e buoni" by rock band Måneskin.
