Taylor Swift Named Best-Selling Artist of the Year for Sixth Time
Taylor Swift earned her sixth IFPI global artist title by leading worldwide streaming, downloads, and sales with her record-breaking 12th album released in October 2025.
- Taylor Swift was named the biggest-selling global artist of 2025 by the IFPI in its annual round-up, with further chart results due later this week.
- IFPI said 2025's success was driven by Swift's October 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl and The Eras tour documentary, with all 12 tracks reaching the Hot 100's top 12 and 4.002 million opening-week units.
- Swift beat out Stray Kids for the 2025 crown, with Stray Kids reaching their highest-ever No.2, and Bad Bunny placed No.5 in his sixth year on the chart.
- IFPI compiles streaming, downloads and physical formats directly from over 8,000 participating record labels and converts them into a single global chart figure covering an artist's entire body of work.
- This marks Swift's sixth overall IFPI top-artist win, adding to victories in 2014, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024, with BTS last topping the list in 2021 and 2020, IFPI said.
