Taylor Swift, the famous pop singer, received another big award recently. She was named the Global Recording Artist of the Year by IFPI for the fourth time.
IFPI is the organization that represents the recorded music industry.
This is the second consecutive year Swift has won this award. She also won it in 2014 and 2019. The latest award is for the year 2023.
To decide the winner, IFPI looks at an artist’s global sales, including streaming, downloads, and physical music formats throughout the year. It covers all the work the artist has done. Taylor Swift topped the IFPI Global Artist Chart, which she has done more times than any other artist in the past 11 years.
Lewis Morrison, the director of charts and certifications at IFPI, praised Taylor Swift, saying, “She continues to redefine the limits of global success. Taylor is a singular talent, and her commitment to her craft and her fans is truly phenomenal.”
In the same chart, K-Pop stars SEVENTEEN and Stray Kids secured the second and third positions, marking a record year for Korean artists. Four K-Pop acts made it to the top 10, with TOMORROW X TOGETHER at No.7 and NewJeans at No.8.
Other notable artists in the top 10 include Drake at No.4 and The Weeknd at No.5.
Just a few weeks ago, Taylor Swift made history at the Grammy Awards by winning the Album of the Year for the fourth time, a remarkable achievement.
