I haven't seen a topic for this, so I'm opening a new one...please close it if I missed something!
They were at #9 in Italy last week, an ok-ish result (FII was at #5 the first week it was released, D/T #4 , SC #2, TA#3 just to give a few examples)

I honestly don't know any of the artists that are in the top 10...
Assuming you are Italian, how is it possible that you don't know at least 4 of the 8 "artists" preceding DT? They are some of the absolute worst products of our music industry. You may hate them, as I do, but they are pretty well known!
I've heard the names "Ultimo" and "Sferra ebbasta",but I don't know any song that they made. Never heard about the others...

Ops, sorry, I've just seen Duran Duran at #10...yeah, those guys I know..
(are they still around??)
* I'm 47, I don't listen to music on the radio and I don't have spotify...so I am basically stuck in my world of classical/ jazz/ rock/ metal with bands from the 80s/90s...
I just buy 15-20 CDs/ years from bands I know or "close relatives" (e.g. moved from Dream Theater to Haken, but I didn't like them...)
As concerns Italian music, well, Vasco, Elisa (!!) and Britti (!!!) are the only CDs I buy...
...and Marco Sfogli, my favourite guitar player!
