The 'Dominance of Domestic Artists' in the music industry refers to the growing trend where artists from a particular country achieve significant commercial success and market share within their own national borders, often outperforming international acts. This phenomenon is influenced by factors such as digital distribution platforms, which empower independent artists, and evolving consumer preferences for locally produced music. For instance, in 2025, the Italian music market saw 90% of its Top 10 albums and singles dominated by domestic artists¹. Similarly, in 22 EU markets tracked by IFPI, 60% of the Top 10 tracks were by domestic artists². This trend highlights a shift in the global music landscape, emphasizing the importance of local talent and cultural relevance.
