Sanremo 2026: top 5 artists voted by public & radio – night 3
Sanremo 2026: public & radio choose top 5 artists in third night
The third evening of the Sanremo Music Festival 2026 has concluded, revealing the top five artists favored by both the public and radio juries. This follows the voting patterns of the first two nights, which saw 30 contestants vying for a spot in the final.
How the voting works
Similar to the previous nights, the voting in the third evening was split equally between public televoting and the radio jury. Each vote held equal weight, contributing to the final rankings. This ensures a balanced representation of audience sentiment and critical evaluation.
Top 5 artists – night 3
Here are the five artists who received the most votes:
- Arisa - "Magica favola"
- Sayf - "Tu mi piaci tanto"
- Luchè - "Labirinto"
- Serena Brancale - "Qui con me"
- Sal Da Vinci - "Per sempre sì"
Looking ahead: the final showdown
The next night, the fourth evening, will focus on cover songs and duets. All juries will participate in voting, but the results will solely determine the competition for this specific round and will not impact the standings of the original songs presented at Sanremo 2026. The true competition resumes on Saturday, February 28th, with the final night.
Final voting breakdown
In the final, all juries – Televote (34%), Press, TV & Web Jury (33%), and Radio Jury (33%) – will cast their votes. The overall ranking will be determined by these votes, combined with the results from the first three nights. Only the top five positions will be revealed to the public, in a random order.
Important note for the final
During the final, the public will be limited to one phone vote, a change from the three allowed in the previous rounds. This strategic shift aims to encourage broader participation and a more representative reflection of public opinion.
Sanremo 2026: the road to victory
The five finalists will perform again, and the juries will once more cast their votes, ultimately crowning the winner of the festival. The final results will be announced, solidifying the culmination of this year’s Sanremo celebration.
