According to worldwide rankings of album sales, the Media Traffic site reports that in the 49th week of 2008, the albums entering 12th and 21st position are Giusy Ferreri’s “Gaetana”, and Laura Pausini’s “Primavera in anticipo” (Early Spring).
Statistics show that Ferreri has sold 81,000 copies, and Laura Pausini’s new album is even more successful at 130,000 copies.
These are impressive results for two Italian singers with modest worldwide renown, especially compared to the queen at the top of the charts, Beyoncé with “I am…Sasha Fierce” selling 591,000 copies.
This shows that authentic Italian music talent is healthy and blooming with both a consolidated artist and emerging star experiencing success.
