List of number-one hits of 1995 (Italy)

Last updated

The list of number-one singles of 1995 in Italy includes all the songs that reached the top spot on the weekly chart compiled by the Italian music magazine Musica e Dischi . Musica e dischi also compiled a weekly albums chart in 1995, but in March of the same year, the Federation of the Italian Music Industry started its own chart, which replaced Musica e dischi's as the official Italian albums chart. Compiled by Nielsen, the first FIMI album chart included sales for the week starting on 23 February 1995. [1] This period coincided with the first week of sales for the albums released by the 45th Sanremo Music Festival contestants, the most important music event in Italy. [1]
