Numero Uno is an Italian record label, started in 1969 as a subsidiary of Italian RCA. The label's flagship artist was Italian singer Lucio Battisti. Numero Uno was primiarily a singer/songwriter label, but it also became an important outlet for Italian progressive rock with releases by artists such as PFM, Formula Tre, Il Volo, Acqua Fragile and Jumbo.
