Commercial success

Baglioni whit fan

The album sold 1,200,000 copies in Italy in the first 6 months, remaining in the charts for 27 consecutive weeks in first place in the TV Sorrisi e Canzoni Superclassifica (still an unbeaten record) and a total of 73 weeks in the top 50.[3]

To date, over 30 years after its publication, it continues to be the best-selling album in Italian discography, with over 4 million copies sold. It is estimated that every year it sells around 25,000 copies between reissues on Compact Disc and special editions on Vinyl, with almost half a million streams listened to.[4][5]

The success of the album kicked off the 1985 tour, of which the final concert at the Flaminio stadium in Rome on 20 September was broadcast live on TV[6], becoming the first concert in the history of Italian popular music broadcast live on television. The book Notti di note was also born from the tour, created with the photographer Guido Harari, who through thoughts and photos offered fans a behind-the-scenes vision of the triumphant tour.[7]

Towards the end of 1985, however, given the success of the album in Italy, a collection album was released throughout Europe; Claudio Baglioni.[8]
