New crown for Taylor Swift: the American singer topped global sales in 2023, for the fourth time since the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) compiled this ranking.
This is the eleventh time that this list has been compiled, based on an artist or group’s worldwide sales over the past year, across all formats, streams, downloads and physical media, and on the entire repertoire, explained Wednesday the organization which represents the recorded music industry in the world.
The consecration of Taylor Swift for the year 2023 follows those of 2014, 2019 and 2022. The IFPI salutes an exceptional year during which [elle] released three albums […] at the top of the rankings, namely Midnights, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) et 1989 (Taylor’s Version)launched last October.
With his tour Eras, holder of all records, she has highlighted her entire repertoire on broadcast platforms in the four corners of the planet, continues the organization. This phenomenon was illustrated by the resurgence of the title Cruel Summer, initially released in 2019, became number 1 again four years later.
Korean pop dominates top 10 bestseller charts
Korean pop stars Seventeen and Stray Kids rank 2nd and 3rd in global sales, following a record year for Korean artists, says the IFPI. Four Korean pop groups also appear in this list, with Tomorrow X Together in 7th place and NewJeans in 8th position.
At 34, Taylor Swift made pop history again earlier this month by winning a fourth Grammy for the prestigious title of best album. The musician thus does better than American music legends like Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon or Stevie Wonder.
She took advantage of her thanks to the Grammy awards to announce her next album, The Tortured Poets Departmentwhich will be released on April 19.
