Actually... "il disco" refers to a music record (a.k.a. "wax disc"), or "fonografico".

The word for which you are searching is "primato" as in "championship".

"Primato Nuovo" sounds pretty good too, but I believe "record" is one of those words recognized as "commonly used foreign word " in Italy.

Even the word arrangement isn't correct for Italian... it should be "Record Nuovo" and "Record Super"
