Sales from Midnights and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) gave Taylor Swift numerous sales records in year 17 of her career.
SEVENTEEN FML’s 10th mini album is the first album by a Korean artist to reach 6.2 million copies
Most surprisingly, ranked 2nd in IFPI’s global artist ranking is the representative from Kpop – the million-selling boy group SEVENTEEN. This is the third consecutive year SEVENTEEN has reached the top 10 of IFPI and has also increased its rankings with each milestone. Last year, SEVENTEEN released 2 mini albums, both of which created a sales fever.
The 10th mini album FML is the first album by a Korean artist to sell 6.2 million copies. In August 2023, the group’s total album sales for the year reached 10 million copies, making people surprised. With momentum going, the 13 boys returned with Seventeenth Heaven, setting a record of 5 million copies sold in the first week.

Not only “breaking” digital music, NewJeans also ranked top in revenue in 2023, being the first 4th generation girl group to enter the IFPI top 10 at position #8.
