IFPI Global Charts will reveal the Top 10 Global Artists, Singles and Albums of the year soon!! Stay Tuned!!

Taylor is definitely holding on to that no.1 spot for top global artist. From streams to album sales, she has it.

Quote from Jasmine_Waters

And she'll lose it again to BTS from 2025 and onwards.

You really think BTS is gonna get it back from her?
We'll see...

She has only 2 more TV's to go, after that her flooding each year with multiple albums will stop. Expect her TVs to end by next year. BTS ofc will have to go back to their standard 4 version release format too and not just 2 album versions like they did for Proof and BE. Assuming BTS release their first post return album in 2026 and she also releases one new album in 2026, I do see it going to BTS. But again BTS need to release a full album with 10 or more songs, an EP will not hold.

8 songs are considered a full album nowadays and BTS recent releases are usually 2 versions like you said, so only time can tell.

Quote from Jasmine_Waters

I'm in the camp that says BigHit only cares about $$$ and not about any BTS record. So they will continue to be dumb and have two versions retailing for $100 each.

I'm expecting at least something similar to Golden or Layover release.....

How many versions of Taylor Swift albums are there?

"The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has released 10 original studio albums, 4 re-recorded studio albums, 5 extended plays, and 4 live albums. "

"Taylor Swift Is Selling Over 20 Versions of 'Midnights' in Different Styles and Formats. Color variants, autographs and formats make the new album a collector's dream."

BTS do not need to sell 20 versions of their Album. Let's just leave that for other Kpop groups that normalize it. If they go back to 4 versions, they will be able to make another record. They will be able to take the title back from Kpop and will be a strong contender worldwide IFPI. But I agree with Jasmine_Waters , Big Hit will probably follow through with how they did with BE. At this point in their career, I don't believe BTS care for anymore records. For them, it's been there. Done that.

I guess it will be mostly like 2 variant and a weverse album.

I'm hoping a little more than that but seeing how things have been, I wouldn't be suprised.

Who knows. But I guess they'll gain more profit by reducing production cost through less album version and increasing the price instead.

Funny seeing Kpop stans crying because Taylor shits on them in every catagory except parasocial fanservice.

A Jungkook fan talking about what "Scooter did for her", when Taylor is not the one who needs that Zionist to make an album for her unlike your zero creativity fave.

Did Seventeen beat out Swift?

Quote from Jasmine_Waters

That will get them dragged to hell and back. I wouldn't even wish that on them.

I was here for the T-Ara vs. one-direction fandom fights, it is all good.

Only self-written icons on Top 3

Drake's ghostwritters out

All of them released two albums.

Quote from Jasmine_Waters

There is still Seven so

I hope to see Seven at least on Top 5 or IFPI is a fraud

Jungkook not even in top 20? That doesnt sound right to me

I wonder if they count single albums as well because BTS managed to chart at no. 1 in 2021 when The Best Japanese album and Butter single album is what they only release.

They might have count sales and streams from previous albums I guess.
