Discografia internazionale (or DI) [1] was a weekly Italian popular music magazine published from 1966. [2] The magazine's headquarters was in Piazzale Loreto in Milan. [1] It was run by Germano Ruscitto, formerly the press officer for Bluebell Records, in association with Billboard Publications, Inc. [3] With its focus on international recording, the magazine was intended as a rival to the long-established Italian publication Musica e Dischi . [3]

DI's singles chart represented Italy in Billboard 's weekly "Hits of the World" international charts section. [4] Together with Billboard and the United Kingdom's Record Retailer , Discografia Internazionale sponsored the annual International Music Industry Conference (IMIC), held in Montreux, Switzerland. [4]

The magazine's final issue was published in December 1972. [3]
