Let's get physical.
Here's a quick run-down of this years physical releases, CDs, LP's, 7"vinyls and cdsingles.
Only the ones available in the shops or via websites are here, promo stuff (if any) is in each country's section.
Singles
Belgium's Hooverphonic released a limited edition 7"inch vinyl single. The also have a new album out since May 7.
Iceland's entry was released on a 10" vinyl EP in 2023
Promo's have been spotted of: France, Serbia, Israel, Finland, Azerbaijan, Albania, Portugal, San Marino, Cyprus
Sanremo vs Eurovision
With just four or five albums (depends on The Roop) Eurovision is underrepresented on the release front.
To compare, Sanremo artists have 23 albums out on CD and LP plus five vinyl singles, two 12"inches and even a cassette single.
Now with Eurovision in Italy next year I hope the seemingly healthy Italian music release culture rubs off on the 2022 Eurovision artists.
Find out about the Sanremo 2021 releases here in the Italy section. Updated August 1.
Compilations
The Official 2CD was released on April 23
The digital version was released on April 17 along with the collection of karaokes/instrumentals.
