Italy - Angelina Mango - La Noia

Angelina Mango won the 74th Sanremo festival with her song La Noia (Boredom) written by Angelina Mango herself with Madame (Francesca Calearo) and Dardust (Dario Faini).

Dardust co-wrote the 2019 Italian entry Soldi and also appeared in an interval of the 2022 contest in Turin.

It has  been confirmed that Angelina will go to Malmö but she still has the possibility to change songs.

La Noia was released as a digital single on February 7 and can also be found on the Sanremo 2CD. Scroll down for all info on that.

A version with Álvaro de Luna was released on May 3. Álvaro sings his parts in Spanish. Álvaro's parts were added to the original recording.

A counterfeit cdsingle with remixes has been offered through e-bay, best to avoid, but it's up to you.

Poké Melodrama

Angelina's debut album Poké Melodrama is out on May 31 and it will include La Noia.

The album is released on CD, LP and vinyl picturedisc.

Papa Mango & Mamma Matia

Angelina is from musical stock. Her mom is Laura Valente who was the singer for Matia Bazar in the 90's. So after Matia Bazar's Eurovision adventure but (and that's my personal opinion) singing on their best ever album Anime Pigre.

Mama Laura's Matia line up did Sanremo in 1992 and 1993.

Dad is Giuseppe Mango (1954-2014) who as Mango entered Sanremo seven times. He was also a prolific songwriter for singers like Mia Martini, Mietta, Loredana Berté and Patty Pravo.

At the 2024 Sanremo covers night Angelina performed her father's 2002 hit La Rondine which will also be included in her forthcoming album. (apparently it's not)

Charts

La Noia entered the Italian top 100 at #4 the day before the Sanremo final. Three Sanremo entries entered above that (Geolier, Annalisa and Mahmood) and stayed there for 4 weeks (so far).

La Noia went platinum after 3 weeks.

Italy top 100 (FIMI): 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 13, 15

Switzerland top 100 (hitparade.ch): 11, 32, 53, 70, -

The 74th Sanremo

Italy's Sanremo festival (74th edition!) was held from the 6th to the 10th of February. The winner has the opportunity to represent their country in Eurovision. And most have said yes the past years.

30 songs competed. Returning Eurovision stars are Il Volo, Emma Marone, Mahmood of 2019 and 2022 and Diodato who was to appear at the cancelled 2020 contest. And not to forget Italian legends Ricchi e Poveri who ended 12th in the contest in 1978 with Questo Amore.

On the final night there was a special tribute to the 1964 winning entry Non Ho l'Eta by Gigliola Cinquetti.

Celebrating 60 years

In the past few the Sanremo contest has proven to be a paradise for record collectors and music fans with many albums and singles released in various formats.

Like in 2021, 2022 and 2023 (scroll to the end of each page) we will aim to track all physical releases of this years Sanremo stars. So you don't have to.

The cast of this year's Sanremo have 500 platinum records among them (Allmusic)

Sanremo 2CD editions

The Sanremo 2024 album is out on the 9th of February. It has all 30 songs from the competition. So far only two 2CD releases are spotted so I assume there's no vinyl this year.

All 30 songs were released as digital singles on February 7.

One vinyl single is spotted: Governo punk by bnkr44

A second edition issued by magazine Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni has 28 tracks missing the ones by Diodato and Alfa.

Price is similar to the full edition so it's a bit unnecessary but it has happened a few times before.
