The choice, therefore, fell on Irama, one of the young people most followed by the public, as the numbers demonstrate. For him already 55 platinum records, 6 Gold records and 2.5 billion streams as well as five participations in the Sanremo Festival always placing in the top 10. The production of the Sky talent has gone on the safe side to replace the most loved judge of recent years: Achille Lauro, in fact, has decided to abandon the program to dedicate himself to concerts in stadiums which will occupy him throughout the summer.
Irama bursts into the judges’ table and will immediately challenge Paola Iezzi, who won the last edition with Rob, as well as Jake La Furia and Francesco Gabbani, talent veterans who will welcome the new colleague. Which is considered by the main betting bookies to be the first favorite for the 2026 edition: the winning Irama, in fact, is at odds of 3.50 on Snai and at 3.00 on William Hill, Eurobet and Better Lottomatica.
