Good morning! I was looking for two chart books for Musica e Dischi, Artisti in Classifica Singoli and Artisti in Classifica Album. The thing is, while the weekly charts for both are archived on their website, only the top-25 from the beginning of the chart’s existence until up until the late ’90s is archived for those periods, even though they were top-50 since they began to my understanding. When I attempted to order both books from the Musica e Dischi website, the form to fill out the credit card information led me to a 404 page, making it impossible for me to order the books. I noticed that on Madonna’s discography pages, you added the Artisti in Classifica Singoli and Artisti in Classifica Album, with a page-number range for the singles source, which implied you knew the specific chapter for Madonna’s singles in that respective book. May I politely ask if you have physical copies of these books, and, if so, could you upload a PDF scan of the whole thing online somewhere, for example Archive.org? Thank you very much! ~2026-59118-5 (talk) 15:15, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, not my talk page, but wanted to ask are you sure that the books cover the Top 50 ? Thanks. QuintusPetillius (talk) 20:17, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don’t have that book. I get the info from Madonna fansite forum, but somehow forget to save the files. The only way we can get info for Musice e dischi charts is from their searchable archive. Regards. Bluesatellite (talk) 07:14, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The British Library in London has an almost complete archive of the magazines. I have been there today and looked at every issue from the beginning of 1992 to the end of 1994. For this period at least the magazines only had a Top 25 singles chart but did have a Top 100 album chart. So unless the book has the Top 50 singles archived I don’t think there will be any other source for the Top 50 singles. The magazines were only published monthly and so can only provide one weekly chart per month even though the website shows that the charts were compiled for each week of each month. The magazines do have some quite in depth year-end charts though. QuintusPetillius (talk) 17:40, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
