Elisa
In the tenth position of the Top Songs Debut Global chart, there’s Elisa, a singer-songwriter who started her career in 1996. She draws inspiration from many genres such as pop, alternative rock, and electronica.

Thanks to her track, she won the Bigatti Prize as the best musical composition of the entire contest.
La Rappresentante di Lista
La Rappresentante di Lista (also known by the acronym LRDL) is an Italian band made up of Veronica Lucchesi and Dario Mangiaracina in 2011 in Palermo. They define themself as a “queer band“: La Rappresentate di Lista is a symbol of change, transformation and quirkiness. The duo competed in the Sanremo contest with the track Ciao Ciao, a catchy and danceable single that conquered the audience at the first listening. In Spotify’s global chart, we find Ciao Ciao in the ninth position.
Irama
Filippo Maria Fanti, known as Irama, is an Italian singer and songwriter. He participated in Sanremo Music Festival four times: in 2016, 2019, 2021, and this year, with the song Ovunque Sarai.
