In September 2026, the Italian music scene saw significant recognition for Pinguini Tattici Nucleari. At the tenth edition of the RTL 102.5 Power Hits Estate held at the Arena di Verona, the group won the main prize for their song ‘Sorry Scusa Lo Siento’, which was named the summer hit of 2026 based on public voting and EarOne radio airplay data.

Later in the month, the group reached the top of the EarOne radio airplay rankings for week 39 through a collaboration with Fabri Fibra titled ‘Goya’. The track, which rose from sixth place to the first position, is featured on the deluxe edition of Fabri Fibra’s album, ‘Mentre Los Angeles Brucia’. Other top performers in the week 39 rankings included Madonna with ‘Danceteria’ in second place and Peggy Gou featuring Ayra Starr with ‘Wo, man’ in third.
