The IFPI, like every year, unveiled its Global Recording Artist of the Year list, based on the artists’ global sales across streaming, downloads, and physical music formats in the preceding calendar year. IFPI, short for The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, offers the most comprehensive overview of global artist, album, and track performance. Now, the organization has announced that Taylor Swift, who topped the list, is the recipient of the IFPI’s 2023 Global Recording Artist of the Year Award.
