Taylor Swift keeps breaking records, and this time, The IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) has revealed its highly anticipated Global Artist Chart for 2024—placing her at the top for the fifth time!
This marks another extraordinary moment for Taylor Swift, who bagged four other major IFPI awards this year, boosted by her eleventh studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” released in April 2024. These include: the Global Album Chart, the Global Album Sales Chart, the Global Streaming Album Chart, and the Global Vinyl Album Chart. And while there are other names in the Artist Top 10, Taylor reigns supreme in all charts, taking the number one spot in every tally.
