List of best-selling albums by year (Italy)

Italian rock singer Vasco Rossi had five year-end number one albums in Italy since 2000.

This is a list of best-selling albums by year in Italy. The Federation of the Italian Music Industry began publishing year-end lists for album sales in 2000. The charts are based on the cumulative total sales collected during the year from January to December.

The only album by a foreign artist to top the Italian year-end chart was 1 by The Beatles in 2000. Vasco Rossi achieved five annual best-selling albums in Italy with the records Stupido hotel in 2001, Tracks in 2002, Buoni o cattivi in 2004, Vivere o niente in 2011 and Sono innocente in 2014. Other multiple toppers of the year-end chart were Eros Ramazzotti, whose albums 9 and e² were the best-selling records of 2003 and 2007, respectively, and Tiziano Ferro, which achieved the first position on the annual chart in 2009 with Alla mia età and in 2012 with L'amore è una cosa semplice. More recently, Luciano Ligabue had two annual best-selling albums in Italy, with Arrivederci, mostro! and Mondovisione being the best-selling album in 2010 and 2013, respectively, and Jovanotti achieved the same result with Safari (2008) and Lorenzo 2015 CC. (2015).
