Best World Cup soundtracks Because every edition is characterised by a catchphrase

Each World Cup is a story in itself, with its own stories, matches and characters. What makes so much of such a competition, however, are also all the endless details that help create it, including all those that determine the aesthetics of each World Cup. We are talking about the jerseys, of course, the stadiums, the players, the balls, but also the soundtrack. Through all editions of the World Cup there has always been a band, a or a singer ready to translate the local culture and values of the trophy into a song. As in the video game of the same name, the relationship between football and music has always been more than flourishing, just think that matches always start with an anthem. And over the years each edition has reserved a big hit that, given the amount of audience it manages to reach, is always destined to collect gold and platinum discs, ranking for weeks if not months on the World charts. It is for this reason that we have decided to compile a ranking of the best hits heard in these 21 editions of the tournament played of course all over the world.
