This massive international smash by the Eurovision 2021 winners has been Bubbling Under the Hot 100 for the past few weeks. It has yet to be sent to any of the rock formats, either for adds or under Cool New Music, but this did not stop 7 Alternatives from adding this song to their rotations today. It hits hard enough that I wouldn't be surprised to see Active stations taking a flier on it as well.
Måneskin has a significantly older song, 2017's "Beggin'", doing a charge up the Hot 100 as well, its current peak is #41, solely off the back of streams and sales.

I am looking forward to seeing this Song get officially pushed to Alternative and Active, This song has been in constant repeat for me and Maneskin's record label should really consider fully promoting this Song to those formats .

I noticed this was getting more traction here than “Beggin” was. This is amazing. Between this doing great and Beggin’ getting solid attention at CHR, I wonder if these guys can bring hard rock back to the mainstream.

I wonder if this is a case of being unprepared (especially as they are pushing Tai Verdes and KennyHoopla right now), or if there's some resistance to pushing this song somewhere that we don't have any knowledge of, either from within Arista or from a big radio company.

As far as guitars go they were not too terrible but that dude's vocals? Good lord. My ears need ointment after that. Plus I hated the lyrics.

Interesting to see an act like this blow up on CHR all of all places. I'm not sure about how I feel about these guys in general though. Beggin' is preferable to this one, but I do agree that the vocals are rough on both. But Zitti e Buoni is very good though, I do like that one.
With 47 million monthly listeners on Spotify, seems like this group is pretty huge rn, good luck to them. 2021 is a weird year for pop music, I'm into it.

Since Zitti e Buoni is most likely not going to radio, here it is for those interested.

I hate to state the obvious, but the fact that most of you are behind this type of hard Rock/Glam Metal while I stay in the side lines bitchin' about the vocals kinda makes sense. What doesn't make sense is how anyone here would think these vocals sound attractive to me. I do echo the fact that i like the music in both songs tho.

I just find it so funny that your wish to hear your favorite music back in the mainstream has been denied for so long, and then when the wish was finally granted, it came with a catch so overwhelming that you aren't able to celebrate it. It's like you were struck with that monkey's paw curse

I like Beggin' more, but I think sending that to CHR and this one to Alt and Active would be the right strategy

The obvious play is to send "I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE" to the rock formats while "Beggin'" goes on its pop run, and then send "SLAVE" to pop once "Beggin'" is done. 60 50 MANESKIN Beggin 321 180 141 1.241

The closest we will get to the return of Hair/Glam metal to mainstream will be me posting a weekly song produced in Sweden on the non singles thread. ;)

This is picking up rather quickly, I wouldn’t be shocked if this was top 50 at this time next week despite not having an adds date.

This is on Spotify's Today's Top Hits (#23) right now.
They're also on the cover this week, with "Beggin'" placed at the top spot of the playlist.

(There is no write-up yet and the first spin was delayed so I personally suspect this was a rather controversial decision behind closed doors)

Much like transparentsoul, the attention this is getting outside of radio is way too big for Alt radio to ignore.

I couldn't get past the vocals on this one. I might like the song otherwise to some extent. They were just that unlistenable.
