The 2018 Sanremo song festival presented by Claudio Baglioni continued its success on Thursday, attracting 10.825 million viewers, 51.60% of the audience share, to RAI 1.
It is the best showing for the third night since the 1999, when the equivalent evening pulled 53.94% of the share.
It also outperformed the highly popular covers night of the
2017 festival presented by Carlo Conti and Maria de Filippi,
which attracted 10.421 million viewers, 49.68% of the share.
One of the highlights of Thursday's show was James Taylor.
He paid tribute to Italian music with a version of La Donna è
Mobile from Rigoletto, treated the crowd to his classic hit Fire
and Rain and then served up another, You've Got a Friend, in
tandem with Italian singer Giorgia.
