BiographyMarco Roberto Borsato (Dutch: [ˈmɑrkoː roːˈbɛrtoː bɔrˈsaːtoː], Italian: [ˈmarko roˈbɛrto borˈsaːto]; born 21 December 1966) is a Dutch former singer. Born in Alkmaar, North Holland, he started performing in Italian before switching to Dutch in 1994. He is one of the most successful and best-selling musicians of all time in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Borsato achieved 15 number-one singles in the Netherlands, the second-most all-time behind The Beatles' 16. In 1994, his song "Dromen zijn bedrog" spent a then-record 12 weeks at number one, a feat which stood for 17 years. It still remains the longest-running Dutch language number-one song ever. Between 2003 and 2008, Borsato became the first artist to record nine consecutive number-one singles on the Dutch charts. He is the most successful Dutch artist of all time according to the Dutch Top 40, and was the most successful overall male artist in the history of the chart for over a decade.

Borsato also has recorded 11 number-one albums in the Netherlands, all certified at least Platinum, with every eligible studio album of his from 1995 to 2013 debuting at number one on the Dutch album charts. Borsato also has six number-one albums in Belgium.

From 2021, Borsato was publicly accused of sexually abusing several minors, including allegations relating to the Voice of Holland scandal, leading to his music being banned by Dutch radio stations amid other public backlash. He was charged with child sexual abuse in September 2023, and acquitted in December 2025 due to lack of supporting evidence.
