#The 10 best-selling singles in 1981 in Italy:

1st PLACE

It’s On My Own, the best-selling single in 1981 in Italy! Here in the official video, which was a hit on local and national TV. Kids went crazy for her, for this beautiful child-adult who sang such a demanding song and, let’s face it, very beautiful albeit syrupy.

PETALOSA.

2ND PLACE

We are now flying higher and higher. We’re on board the most “badass” plane in the world. The track, no point in beating around the bush, is in the pantheon of pop since the genre has existed. The fixed little piano underneath, hypnotic and repetitive, and the occasional tiki-taka that peeks out are the trademark, as well as the winning attacking tandem, of Orchestral Manoeuvres.

3rd PLACE

The podium opens with another timeless track. There are very few who have been able to write pop ballads so “perfect,” and among these few are, without a doubt, the authors of this song, Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. Sang in an simply extraordinary way by the divine nosed Barbara Streisand, who would soon be dethroned by the divine Madonna Ciccone (which rhymes with "cafone").

4th PLACE

Lio (with the accent on the "o"). She is young, very pretty, fresh, sexy, and... French. Amoureux solitaires is a Transalpine pop gem, light, impeccable, dreamy, where 80s synthesizers do their “dirty” work in a “clean” way. It's impossible to resist Lio agua&soap MORE nightgown and panties!

SEDUCTIVE.

5TH PLACE

I can tell you that, curiously, the top five positions in that year were occupied by 5 foreign hits, all of which, to varying degrees, ascended to the status of "classic."
Here are the magnetic and haunting eyes of Bette Davis, a pop track of exquisite craftsmanship that hasn't lost an ounce of its charm.

ENTHRALLING.

6th PLACE

No way… Incredible 1981! I Ricchi e Poveri, discovered by Califano, come out with Sarà perché ti amo which seems to have been released yesterday, as it still circulates everywhere among tacky discos, dance halls, conga lines, sung and danced by old and young alike.

UNFADING.

7th PLACE

Here we are again in the realm of myth, with a track from the infernal Claudio Cecchetto, 40 years ahead of his time, who with his Gioca Jouer, only seemingly weird, was actually telling us what we need to do today (and we do it great): SLEEP, GREET... and little more.

PROPHETIC.

8th PLACE

Another incredible track, a pillar of post-war Italian pop music. This is Maledetta Primavera by the versatile Loretta Goggi, almost a Raffaella Carrà 2.0. Announced as the sure winner of that year’s Sanremo Festival, she only came in second, overtaken by the devilish Per Elisa by Alice, written by the late Maestro Franco Battiato.

MALEDETTA.

We are at very high levels, it's the wonderful hit Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits. Two boys meet at the amusement park and will spend a magical night together forever, in an immortal melody. A remarkable track.

A LANDMARK.

Al Bano and Romina, between 1980 and 1984, were at their peak; this is one of the many timeless hits produced in those few years. SHARAZAN opens with the sound of ocean waves and a distant chorus of sirens (of Ulysses?). It's almost a masterpiece.
