Dafter the third ranking Top 5 of Sanremo 2024the game about possibilities winners, losers, favorites and underdogs it is now unstoppable. And it involves the voting public and the specialized juries of professionals in a tense battle of names. Who, therefore, could win the 74th edition of festival?
Sanremo 2024, the Top 5 rankings compared
On the debut evening of the festival, the one in which all 30 singers performed, the press ranking of the top five favorites put Loredana Bertè on the podium, one of the most loved interpreters of Italian song. At a gluing we find Angelina Mango, Annalisa, Diodato and, in fifth place, Mahmood.
The next day, the radio and public vote on 15 competitors competing he chose as the lead singer Geolier. Followed by Irama, Annalisa, Loredana Bertè, Mahmood.
Yesterday evening, however, the Top 5 ranking of the fifteen artists remained (presented by Amadeus and Teresa Mannino, the third co-host of Sanremo after Marco Mengoni and Giorgia) has once again turned the certainties upside down putting Angelina Mango on top – that from second place to first (the official betting sites give it between 4.25 and 3.50). Next in order are Ghali – his My home is among the most cited by social media people – Alessandra Amoroso and, surprisingly, Il Tre and Mr. Rain.
Loredana, who made an appearance at the press conference she confessed, not without irony, that she was not used to winning and that she felt more at ease among the last, you don’t have to worry. Her performance continues to have unanimous consensus among both the popular and technical jury and seems to be destined for the coveted Critics’ Award.

The opinions of experts, the public and the generational clash
Although the criticisms aimed at the excessive number of participants in the competition, the choices of the artistic director Amadeus and the quality of the songs, judged average if not mediocre, seem to bring media professionals into agreement, it is opinion if not certainty given the data that, as never before, the public capable of moving rankings and votes, and that made up of young people between 16 and 30 years old.
As per tradition, the tastes of the jury of experts and professionals rarely coincide with the popular one, with the support and preferences of the web and social network universe. A clear example is the ranking of the most listened to Sanremo songs on Spotify after prime time: all in the name of catchphrase and the green age of the performers.
Geolier with I’m for me, You’re for you is in first place. Continued Mahmood with Gold suit – in the meantime it has become the most popular Italian song streamed to the world – e Sincerely Of Annalisa . In third is Irama with Not you. Then there are Angelina Mango with Boredom and in sixth place Gazzelle with That’s all. Alessandra Amoroso is in sixteenth place, overtaken by Loredana Bertè in ninth position. No trace of A boy and a girl by The Kolors.

What the betting sites say
The betting sites that offer the odds of each singer perfectly smell the wind and continue to do so focus on the trio Angelina Mango, Geolier and Annalisa.
The twenty-two-year-old singer, daughter of art, who brings to the race Boredomwritten in collaboration with Madame, convinces with her charisma, an uncommon ability to interpret and a voice of great quality. The Neapolitan rapper follows closely as does the beautiful Annalisa whose songvery catchy, is among the most played on the radio.
Balance of the final: favorite women and the unknown Geolier, possible winners
Cross-referencing the votes and the names present in all the rankings, the Sanremo Festival 2024 seems to be an “affair” of women, including very young singers and appreciated veterans of the event. The history of the Sanremo Festival teaches, however, that anything can still happen. It would be enough to think that with the demonstration not yet started, the bookmakers had bet on three different favorites such as Alessandra Amoroso, Negramaro and Annalisa as winners of Sanremo 2024. Certainly, among the singers off the radar of all preferences there are Fred De Palma, the duo Renga & Nek and Bnkr44. Their possible victory is very uphill.
The fourth evening, dedicated to covers, will give a further boost to the competition. Also because it is the first occasion in which televoting (34%), press room, TV and web (33%) and radio jury (33%) vote in unison. By mixing tastes and preferences you will in fact have a further Top 5. Who knows how: a duet and a wrong cover can in fact compromise the chances of victory.
