Gianluca Zanna Music channel surpasses 28 million views and 393+ radio stations across 88+ countries
Ariz. — May 2026 — Independent label Zanna Records has confirmed an extraordinary acceleration in audience growth, with founder Gianluca Zanna’s official YouTube channel, Gianluca Zanna Music, surpassing 28,000,000 views in May 2026 — adding a full million views in roughly 48 hours, the channel’s fastest million-view increment to date.
The spike is significant not for the milestone alone but for its velocity. The channel had taken approximately eight days to add its prior million views (reaching 26.79 million on May 10).
It then closed the gap to 28 million in roughly two days — a more than fourfold acceleration in growth rate — coinciding directly with the May 15, 2026 worldwide release of Live with No Regrets — Analog Rebellion, the label’s analog-recorded rock single. The milestone was independently tracked via vidIQ, a YouTube Certified analytics partner.
Supporting metrics underscore the depth behind the headline number: the channel’s monthly YouTube Music audience has reached 1.2 million, is averaging more than 900,000 views per week, and ranks among the top 5% of creators on the platform — with the catalog now on pace to surpass 30 million total views. On YouTube Music, the newly released Live with No Regrets — Analog Rebellion has already drawn more than 626,000 plays in its opening days, confirming the rock single as one of the active engines behind the surge.
Independent third-party analytics platform Songstats verifies the catalog’s depth at the individual-track level, with six songs each independently past one million views:
You Are My Destiny (Druumix Remix Future) feat. Claudette Lyons — 4,357,553 views
You Are My Destiny — 2,267,179 views
You Are My Destiny (JMP Remix) feat. Claudette Lyons — 2,218,947 views
We Are Thoughts (Future Remix) feat. Claudette Lyons — 1,952,016 views
Looking for You (Silent Era) feat. Claudette Lyons — 1,569,078 views
I AM (Destiny) — 1,284,261 views
All figures Songstats-verified, May 2026.
Global Radio: 393+ Stations, 88+ Countries, Six Continents
Running in parallel with the digital surge, Zanna Records’ organic radio footprint continues to expand. As of May 2026, the catalog has achieved verified airplay across 393+ radio stations in 88+ countries spanning six continents (WARM verified), with recent additions including Dance UK Radio (London, audience 219,400) in the United Kingdom and 181.fm’s dance programming (The Vibe of Vegas channel) in the United States, alongside stations in Russia, Cambodia (Radio Kamchatka), Japan (RADIO3 FM Sendai), Cyprus (Dance FM), and Darwin, Australia, plus major-audience additions in Germany NDR1 (7 Million listeners), Sunshine-Live Remix, audience 1.286M;
Clubsandwich, (audience 312K), Poland (RMF Depeche Mode, audience 305K), and Spain (ECO FM, Pop Lasser FM, and Hen Radio, added May 2026).
A standout moment came on April 16, 2026, when the music aired on the same calendar day on Radio Pilot (Yekaterinburg, Russia), Center FM (Minsk, Belarus), and Yantarne.FM (western Ukraine) — a rare cross-border simultaneity that the label has highlighted as a small but real demonstration of music’s capacity to reach across divides.
Beyond traditional broadcast, the catalog reaches an estimated 600,000+ commercial locations worldwide through B2B distribution partners — including MoodMedia (500,000+ locations across 150 countries), Spectrio (70,000+ U.S./Canada locations), M-Cube (45,000+ installs across 106 countries), and hotelradio.fm (approximately one million daily listeners), among others.
