The purpose of this page is to create an overview of the original 1980s Italo Disco. The list does not only include the most commercially successful songs, but also aims to present the genre in a diverse way.
The list only includes songs with an Italian producer or performer. Italo Disco is a subgenre of Euro Disco, and music that can be stylistically classified as Italo Disco was also produced outside of Italy. Read more about Italo Disco.
External links: The artist's name leads to the English Wikipedia article, or if there is no article, to the Italo Disco article. The song name leads to the Discogs.com database, the first release of the album in Italy. There you can see more information about the song, other released versions and album covers. The albums are often also linked to YouTube from there. The years lead to articles on the English Wikipedia that discuss pop music of that year in general and by genre.
Each song also includes the original Italian record label and the song's tempo (bpm, beats per minute). The chart positions mentioned are not necessarily the only ones, as many songs reached the charts in several European countries.
