His name is Stefano Cilio and in the music sector he is known above all as the author of the book “Mezzo Secolo di Ritornelli” and radio host of the ranking he created “Rit Parade”. In May his first single “Glance” was released, a song halfway between pop and dance that had a good radio response in Italy, but above all it started to do well abroad. Austria, Finland, Greece, Switzerland and Slovakia are just some of the states that have positively applauded the release of “Glance”, especially the sung version released in July.
In recent days the song has achieved an important milestone and often precluded to Italian artists, namely the gold record abroad. In fact, the IFPI Austria federation, a body that, like FIMI in Italy, certifies the sales of singles and albums in Austria, awarded “Glance” with the gold record for the sale of 15,000 copies in Austria, considering both the digital download than streaming. Streaming is one of the main vehicles with which “Glance” has made a big splash abroad, with a total to date of over 3,000,000 plays on all platforms.
“” A great milestone and an unexpected success: when I timidly entered the music market with my first production, I never thought that such a thing could happen in less than five months “, wrote Cilio on social media. “I thank the Austrians for the appreciation they have reserved for me and I hope that my new single” Tonight “can replicate the success of” Glance “in Austria and obtain other certifications abroad and who knows maybe even in Italy. As an independent artist and without a record company it is really difficult to get noticed in the recording world and this award is a goal that pushes me to continue with even more conviction in my young career as a producer “.
