Stasera, always from 8.40pm on Rai 1, the second evening of the 2026 Sanremo Festival will begin. After the performance yesterday of the 30 Bigs competing, this evening 15 singers will take to the stage that will come voted by viewers with Televoting (50%) and by the Radio Jury (50%).
Last night the Press Jury placed in the top 5 (in random order): Ditonellapiaga, Fedez & Masini, Fulminacci, Arisa and Serena Brancale. The first three will take the stage tonight while Arisa and Serena Brancale tomorrow. So what will be the possible new top 5 tonight?
Sanremo 2026 predictions: the possible final ranking of the second evening
Currently in the highest positions in the radio charts of EarOneTotonellaplaga this evening you can safely confirm its place in the top 5. The Roman singer-songwriter and hers How annoying! will be presumably highly voted by the Radio Jury and, we bet, also from televoting. Ditto for the couple Fedez & Marco Masini with Necessary evil.
Among the Bigs who will take the stage tonight and that, somewhat surprisingly, it didn’t finish in the top five yesterday (despite good ratings) It’s Tommaso Paradiso. With his The romanticsthe former frontman of The Giornalisti it could enter the top 5, thanks to a very solid fan base but above all of high position in the real-time radio rankings Italian.

Who could go up (J-Ax) and who could go down (Arisa)
Despite an engaging performance and a piece of good workmanship, the rapper J-Ax has not risen to the Olympus of preferences of journalists. It can be done again without too many problems tonight since his Italy Starter Pack it floats safely in the ranking of the most broadcast songs from the radios. And, given his long career, certainly it won’t even look out of place in televoting.
However, the one who can be displaced from yesterday’s ranking is Arisa with hers Magical fairy tale. An intense and very personal song though it’s not exactly the quintessence of “radio”. Not surprisingly, always on Earlone, the song does not reach the top 10 of the most past Sanremo singles. His strong personality, and constant presence on TV, could guarantee Arisa good televoting percentages but the feeling is that tonight it will probably not be among the favorites of the two Juries.
On the second evening of Sanremo 2026, Fulminacci can confirm himself in the Top 5
Underdog of this edition, the Roman singer-songwriter enchanted the Press Room Jury yesterday with Stupid bad luck. A song that, listen after listen, grows more and more among preferences of the workers.
If he were to enter the top 5 again tonightnot impossible given i lots of radio plays of the last hours, Fulminacci could thus confirm his serious candidacy for next Saturday’s podium.
