RTL 102.5 Power Hits Estate

Celebrating great music on the stage of the Arena di Verona!

Power Hits Estate returns! For the ninth consecutive year, RTL 102.5, in collaboration with EarOne, launches the chart of the top 50 songs played by Italian radios that will determine the summer hit of 2026.

On September 1, 2026, the summer hit of 2026 will be declared, which is the winning song of the RTL 102.5 Power Hits Estate 2026 award, during a large live event from the Arena di Verona, broadcast live in radio vision on RTL 102.5 (channel 36 of DTT and 736 of Sky), TV8, and streamed on RTL 102.5 PLAY and NOW.

Some of the most listened voices in the Italian music scene will take to the stage.

The winner will be determined through a ranking of the top 50 songs played on the radio by RTL 102.5, in collaboration with EarOne. The popularity of the competing songs is based on a dual criterion: on one hand, the opinions expressed by the audience through the radio's website, accessible also via the official RTL 102.5 app, and on the other hand, the airplay data certified by EarOne.
