Hi there,

Now I would like to know single charts of Deep Purple (UK rock band) in following three books.

I could not find these italian single chart books around here(Tokyo).

So, if somebody have one of these books and could check single charts of Deep Purple in the book, please help me.

Dario Salvatori: 25 anni di Hit Parade in Italia,
Dario Salvatori: Storia dell'Hit Parade,
Dario Salvatori: 40 anni di Hit Parade in Italia

I have the book 40 anni di hit parade in Italia, if youre interested please just ask, but I have to tell that many many songs positions are not the same I heard when i was a young boy in the radio hit parade presented from Lelio Luttazzi and Giancarlo Guardabassi. You can find also a better information looking in some sites in Internet.
Ciao, Marco

Of course most of the data from Salvatori's book is different from RAI charts' data, because the Salvatori's book (40 anni) is mostly based on TV Sorrisi Canzoni (TVSC) charts. Before FIMI charts were born (March 1995), RAI and TVSC used charts compiled by different compilers, and that's why data is different.

However here is Deep Purple info.

Hi

Thank you for your comments and Deep Purple Info.

I have a question about single charts of Deep Purple in Italy.

In the single charts of "Salvatori's book" and "Musica & Dischi", their single "Stormbringer" is not listed.
However, on page of "Indice per Interprete" in website of "Hit Parade Italia", "Stormbringer" is listed as a hit single, such as following list.

I know the charts of "Hit Parade Italia" are based on sources of over 10 italian charts.
So then, I would like to know which single charts "Stormbringer" was listed originally on.

Was single of "Stormbringer" listed in RAI single chart? Jukebox chart? Radio charts? combined charts? or etc...?

Actually, the single of "stormbringer" was released as jukebox single also in Italy only.

If you could check it, please help me.

And if I could, I would like to know also "Annual album chart" of
"Stormbringer album" and single and album charts of Pink Floyd in "Salvatori's book" and "Romy Padovano's book: Hit Parade"

Hi Giacomo,

Thank you very much for your valuable information!!
There are many album hits of Deep Purple and Pink Floyd in Italy.

Do you have any information of Italian charts "Ciao 2001", "Ciao Big", "Vetrina Hit Parade", "Rai" and "Giovani" ?

what about Britney Spears?

hey what about Madonna in the italian chart .as i know Madonna is the artist with most number one in italy followed by adriano celentano.so if you have some information please post them .thank you

@akihiro: sorry I haven't any info about the charts you're asking.

@asdf: Britney Spears wasn't even a recording artist when these 2 books were compiled: so no data about her achievements is available. You can always check the "search" tool on top left of this page or simply follow this link http://italiancharts.com/search.asp

And that's it. Now I close the Pandora's box I opened. Please don't ask any more data: it takes too much time to type them here and especially in correcting the not so unfrequent errors in Salvatori's book.

But I need the chart history from 1999 of Britney Spears

So talkin' 'bout albums:
...Baby One More Time peaked at #8 on April 8th 1999.
the rest is here: http://italiancharts.com/search.asp?cat=a&search=Britney+Spears

Singles
...Baby One More Time stayed at #1 for 3 non-consecutive weeks in the spring of 1999 (March 18th, April 1st and April 8th)
Sometimes peaked at #7 on June 24th 1999
(You Drive Me) Crazy peaked at #8 on November 2nd 1999
Born To Make You Happy peaked at #8 on January 27th 2000
the rest is here: http://italiancharts.com/search.asp?cat=s&search=Britney+Spears

thank you for the information about madonna .as i know since 1999 madonna has scored 10 numbers one .wich are .beautiful stranger ,american pie ,music .dont tell me ,im not sure about dont tell me. die another day,american life ,hung up ,sorry,jump, 4 minutes and celebration.i wanted to know about her older hits .so you find them,so thank you.

Yes, "Don't tell me" peaked at #1 December 12th 2000.

The statement about not asking any more data wasn't for you in particular, it was more for other users telling them not to ask any other chart achievement from any random artist.
I don't have the time and the wanting to fulfill these requests.
