Italian singer Mina has released seventy-six studio albums, three live albums, forty-five official compilation albums, six video albums and seventeen extended plays. During her career, Mina has sold more than 150 million copies of her recordings worldwide.[1]
Mina made her debut on the music scene in the late 1950s. In 1959, her first recordings were released on the Italdisc label, and in 1960 her debut album Tintarella di luna was composed, which was a great success with the public.[2] In the next three years, the singer released five more albums on the Italdisc label, but in 1963 she left it and switched to Ri-Fi, where her new album Mina was released in 1964.[3] However, Mina stayed there for only a few years, having managed to release several studio albums-soundtracks to the popular TV show Studio Uno, in which she also was a presenter.[4]
In 1967, Mina gained full creative freedom by founding her own label, PDU. In December 1967, the first independent album was released, the English-language album Dedicato a mio padre, dedicated to Mina's father. In May of the following year, Mina was the first Italian artist to release a live album, Mina alla Bussola dal vivo.[5] In 1969, the album ...bugiardo più che mai... più incosciente che mai... was released, which stayed at the top of the national chart for sixteen weeks. It was followed by such bestsellers as ...quando tu mi spiavi in cima a un batticuore..., Mina and Cinquemilaquarantatre, all of them reached the first position and lasted in the Italian chart for more than twenty-five weeks. The 1971 album Mina is also one of the best—selling in the singer's career – more than 900,000 copies sold in Italy alone.[6] In addition, in 1971, the compilation Del mio meglio was released, which spent 45 weeks on the charts including fifteen weeks at number one.[7]
Starting in 1972, the singer began to release double albums, which were also distributed separately.[8] Thus, Altro and Dalla Bussola, Frutta e verdura and Amanti di valore, Mina® and Baby Gate, Minacantalucio and La Mina, Singolare and Plurale, Mina con bignè and Mina quasi Jannacci were released. In 1978, the singer's third and last live album, Mina Live '78, was released. 1978 was the last year when Mina appeared in the public plane, after which the singer went into seclusion and began to communicate with listeners only through music.[9]
In 1979, Mina's next album, Attila, was released, which, although it did not top the chart, but lasted in the top five for eighteen weeks. However, the next studio album, Kyrie, reached only the ninth place, which was at that time the lowest position in the charts of all the studio albums of the singer. One of the most successful releases of the 80s was the studio album Sì, buana and the compilation Oggi ti amo di più, which topped the Italian chart and lasted twenty-one weeks in it. Starting with Finalmente ho conosciuto il conte Dracula... (1986), the singer began releasing her albums on CDs.
In the 1990s, the singer did not slow down the pace of releasing albums. In 1993, for the first time in a long time, two albums were released immediately: the first was a tribute album to the Beatles, Mina canta i Beatles, the second was the studio Lochness, which topped the Italian chart. Since 1996, Mina has stopped releasing double albums. The first such releases were the albums Cremona and Napoli. Together with Adriano Celentano in 1998, the singer released the album Mina Celentano, which was a resounding success in Italy – the record topped the charts for thirteen weeks, and also received twice diamond status in the country.[10]
The singer opened the new millennium with an album of academic music Dalla terra. In 2001, a remastered reissue of fifty-nine Mina albums from the PDU catalog was released.[11] In 2004, The Platinum Collection was released, which lasted 172 weeks in the Italian charts – the best indicator of the singer.[12] In 2005, a new tribute album L'allieva was released, this time to Frank Sinatra. In 2007, Mina released the album Todavía, for which she re-recorded her previous hits in Spanish and Portuguese. In the 2010s, the singer continued to release studio albums, all of them were in the top ten and received music certifications in Italy. In 2016, the Mina—Celentano couple released their second joint album, Le migliori, which also topped the Italian charts and received seven platinum certifications.[13] The singer released her last studio album to date, Gassa d'amante, in 2024.[14]
