The IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year Award and top 10 chart was the first, and remains the only, ranking to accurately capture the engagement with artists across streaming channels, alongside digital and physical album and singles sales on a global basis.
The independently verified IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year chart includes sales of albums – across digital, CD and vinyl formats; singles, both downloaded and physical; and streams across the calendar year. The chart includes all the music of each artist featured, not just one track or album. It uses album equivalent units to combine measurements of downloads, physical sales and streams
This year’s Top Ten artists reflect the global appeal of music. From modern-day superstars like Drake, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, to legacy acts like Queen, fans are exploring and enjoying music of all types and from all corners of the world.
