Last year, BTS also made history by being the first Asian artist to top the list. The award is calculated according to an artist or group’s worldwide performance including streaming formats, digital and physical albums and singles sales, in all countries.

BTS’ phenomenal success over the past year is a testament to their creativity, hard work, and ongoing commitment to continuing to find ways to bring their music to the world. By performing in three different languages, they demonstrate their extraordinarily unique global appeal and their dynamic and passionate fanbase helped make them the first artists in history to top the Global Artist Chart two years in a row.

We would like to wish everyone who works on your team huge congratulations on winning the award and on another year of brilliant success”, said Frances Moore, CEO of the IFPI.
