IFPI's Top 10 Global Recording Artists of the Year

Let's see If more korean artists will make an appearence on the pure sales album chart

Are they doing like physical charts? combined charts? digital etc..?

Im guessing BTS/Adele/Taylor Swift/Harry styles/Beyonce/

Not sure who else, Maybe BP/Seventeen in pure album sales if thats a seperate thing?

Oh it's today. Rooting for BTS!

Wonder if TXT will make it? They had great US Sales last year

It's gonna take a while for BTS to be announced in top 3 lol. IDK why IFPI needs to have an interval of 10 mins every countdown when they can just cut it to 5 mins, so it won't take too long.

Clout/views

Can someone from ARMY leak it like they did in the past?

It's taking so long...

They think they are miss universe

Ifpi enjoy having us wait way too much

Quote from sweetenerstan

Jay Chou? Chinese artist is at #9.

Not IFPI milking the traffic on their account lol. Why does it even have to be 20 mins. for the next one to be revealed?

That is very interesting because China normally is not included because huge inflated sales but interesting./ His album sold 6.1+ million but those are very cheap so wonder how it was counted

Quote from sweetenerstan

Oh, it's Harry Styles.

Only 8th though expected higher.

Good thing he did well on Apple Music and Spotify then.

I thought Harry would be higher.

Quote from sweetenerstan

Oh, it's Harry Styles.

He did great last year...

Quote from Minazuki

I thought Harry would be higher.

yeah he had a huge year...

fascinating how this chart shows that some big western acts are more "local" than we think. Having an incredibly succesful year in US doesn't immediately translate globally i guess

If Harry with streams and sales still ranked at 8th, then I wonder if bad bunny will make it again this year. Because he didn’t make it last year of I remember correctly

Taylor Swift and Bad bunny are definitely there. IFPI only measures recording industry so it has to be artist that released albums last year

I’m surprised you left out Billie eilish. She has been featuring almost every year since 2019

That’s untrue. Best selling artiste takes into total accumulative units of the artistes throughout the year including their old discography. That’s why Eminem charts regularly
