2023 is preparing to show us the final credits, and therefore it is time to take stock. From Marco Mengoniwith the song Due Vite (winner of Sanremo 2023), to the hypnotic hit IL BENENEL MALE by Madame: let’s find out what they are the 10 most viewed Italian music videos on YouTube this year.
YouTube: the most viewed music videos of 2023
10. Madame – GOOD IN EVIL
We listened to it for the first time at Sanremo 2023 and since then it has entered our heads that not even “girls who want boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they’re girls” of Albarnian memory. GOOD IN EVIL is the first single he teased THE LOVEan album that we liked very much and which we reviewed in full here.
9. Angelina Mango – We’ll think about it tomorrow (Official Lyric Video)
Fresh from a second place at Amici 2023, Angelina Mango managed to keep interest alive with a couple of pretty good singles. The surname is heavy, we know, but the hype seems to persist. We will see her again in Sanremo 2024.
8. BLANCO, MINA – For a bit of joy
When it was announced that on the album Innamorato di Blanco (by the way you can find our review here) there would have been a duet with Mina, the world of boomers has literally gone into error 404. Yes, because the good Riccardo Fabbriconi (aka Blanco) had just earned the title of the most hated singer in Italy for destroying a few roses on the Ariston stage. On the other hand, Mina is the one who most of all is brought up by the older public when it comes to underlining this presumed (and presumptuous) theorem of the decline in quality of Italian music. In short, in defiance of the haters, the song is a spectacle, the video too and Blanco’s album is no different. After all, “a pure feeling has no future if I lose you”.
Our review reads:
“This song is the real pearl of the album, and it would be absolutely unfair to give Mina all the credit. On the contrary. Blanco proves himself, vocally and as a personality, absolutely capable of sharing the microphone with a sacred monster of Italian music. The song is beautiful and feels like a musical wedding between two generations. There is the melody, that of pop music. There’s incredible production with galloping bass and piano that gets into your brain. And then there’s all the anger of Gen Z. A little jewel that dispels doubts while we find ourselves humming “For a bit of joy rapapapapapapapà”.
7. Geolier – X CASE ft. Sfera Ebbasta (Visual Video)
We can say it without fear of contradiction: 2023 was the year of the definitive explosion of Oilier. This is confirmed by the fact that his X CASE (with the man of the hits Sfera Ebbasta) is in seventh place of the most viewed music videos of 2023 on YouTube. Spoiler: we’ll find him again later.
6. AVA, ANNA, Capo Plaza – BLACK GLASSES (Official Video)
BLACK GLASS of the trio AVA, ANNA e Capo Plaza it was one of the hits of summer 2023, so we are not surprised to find it in this Top 10.
5. Geolier – AS YOU WANT (Official Video)
“You again, but we shouldn’t have seen each other again” (cit.)
4. Mr.Rain – SUPEREROI (Official Video) [Sanremo 2023]
Con SUPER HEROES the good Mr. Rain won the hearts of all pregnant mothers in the world at Sanremo 2023. Just outside the podium of the most viewed videos of 2023 on YouTube, the official video currently has over 50 million views.
3. Annalisa – My Love
If for men 2023 was the year of GEOLIER, for women the dominant name was her: Annalisa. His My love was one of the catchphrases of 2023, and she now seems very ready to get what she deserves at Sanremo 2024.
2. Lazza – ASH
Sanremo again, with the artist who was the revelation of 2022 (the year in which he dominated the album charts with Sirio). We are obviously talking about Lazza who at the beginning of 2023 managed to win the hearts of even the most adult audiences with his Ash (second place in Sanremo 2023).
1. Marco Mengoni – Two Lives (Official Video – Sanremo 2023 – Eurovision 2023)
The most viewed music video of 2023 is Two Lives by Marco Mengoni, which earned the singer from Ronciglione the victory in Sanremo 2023 and the subsequent qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest (which ended in fourth place). The success is confirmed by the fact that the song has been in the chart of the most popular songs on YouTube for 44 weeks.
