Taylor Swift, SEVENTEEN Dominate IFPI Global Album Charts For 2023
Taylor Swift and K-pop set the benchmark for global album sales in 2023, new data published by the IFPI reveals. Following the release last week of its Global Music Report 2023, the IFPI published three year-end albums charts, breaking down the biggest titles by sales and formats (vinyl and streaming). The K-pop phenomenon continues to power ahead, proof of which can be seen on the IFPI Global Album Sales Chart 2023. SEVENTEEN’s FML leads an all-K-pop top five on the tally, which measures global unit sales – or “pure sales” – across all physical formats, as well as full album downloads. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Following its release in 2023, FML landed at No. 1 in South Korea and Japan, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell 6.4 million units globally, sending the title to No. 1 on the previously-announced IFPI Global Album Chart. FML also smashed the record for most pre-orders ever for an album in South Korea, according to the Federation. An “unprecedented” 19 of the top 20 titles on the IFPI Global Album Sales Chart were created by South Korean acts, demonstrating the K-pop genre’s “global dominance of the physical album format,” reads a statement from the IFPI, issued Thursday, March 28. Trending on Billboard The one only non-Korean act to crack the top 20 (at No. 6) was reigning, four-time IFPI global recording artist of the year Taylor Swift, whose album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) also topped the IFPI Global Vinyl Album Chart. Indeed, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) leads an all-TayTay top 3 on the wax tally, ahead of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and Midnights, respectively. Swift snags seven of the top 20, including folklore (at No. 7), Lover (No. 9), evermore (No. 13) and Red (Taylor’s Version) (No. 15). U.S. country star Morgan Wallen lassos his first IFPI Global Chart No. 1 with One Thing at a Time, his Billboard 200 leader. The 36-track double LP tops the IFPI Global Streaming Album Chart, which counts global streams from both ad-supported and subscription platforms. The streaming list calculates a weighted global unit number taking into account differing economics across regions. Wallen also appears at No. 9 with Dangerous: The Double Album, released in 2021. “As highlighted in IFPI’s Global Music Report,” comments Lewis Morrison, director of global charts & certifications at IFPI, revenues from both digital and physical music formats continue to see healthy growth, and the combination of fantastic artistry, format variety and the tireless work of record labels is the foundation on which this growth is built. The charts, he continues, “are a great summary of a fantastic year for global recorded music.” IFPI Global Album Sales Chart 2023 PositionArtistAlbumUnits1SEVENTEENFML6.4m2Stray Kids5-STAR5.3m3NCT DREAMISTJ4.6m4SEVENTEENSEVENTEENTH HEAVEN4.5m5Stray KidsROCK-STAR4.2m6Taylor Swift1989 (Taylor’s Version)2.8m7Jung KookGOLDEN2.7m8EXOEXIST2.3m9IVEI’ve MINE2.2m10VLayover2.2m11ZEROBASEONEYOUTH IN THE SHADE2.2m12aespaMY WORLD2.1m13TOMORROW X TOGETHERThe Name Chapter : FREEFALL2.0m14(G)I-DLEI feel2.0m15NCT 127Fact Check1.9m16ENHYPENDARK BLOOD1.7m17IVEI’ve IVE1.7m18JiminFACE1.7m19ENHYPENORANGE BLOOD1.7m20aespaDrama1.5m IFPI Global Vinyl Album Chart 2023 PositionArtistAlbumUnits1Taylor Swift1989 (Taylor’s Version)1,400k2Taylor SwiftSpeak Now (Taylor’s Version)684k3Taylor SwiftMidnights562k4Travis ScottUTOPIA415k5Pink FloydThe Dark Side of The Moon402k6Olivia RodrigoGUTS398k7Taylor Swiftfolklore377k8Lana Del ReyDid you know that…352k9Taylor SwiftLover323k10Fleetwood MacRumours323k11The Rolling StonesHackney Diamonds305k12Lana Del ReyBorn To Die256k13Taylor Swiftevermore237k14QueenGreatest Hits227k15Taylor SwiftRed (Taylor’s Version)225k16Tyler, The CreatorIGOR218k17Michael JacksonThriller217k18Metallica72 Seasons206k19Harry StylesHarry’s House204k20boygeniusthe record200k IFPI Global Streaming Album Chart 2023 PositionArtistAlbum1Morgan WallenOne Thing At A Time2SZASOS3Taylor SwiftMidnights4Bad BunnyUn Verano Sin Ti5Metro BoominHEROES & VILLAINS6Taylor SwiftLover7The WeekndStarboy8KAROL GMañana Será Bonito9Morgan WallenDangerous: The Double Album10Taylor Swift198911Miley CyrusEndless Summer Vacation12Travis ScottUTOPIA13Harry StylesHarry’s House14Taylor Swiftfolklore15Drake & 21 SavageHer Loss16DrakeFor All The Dogs17The WeekndAfter Hours18Taylor Swiftreputation19Zach BryanAmerican Heartbreak20Olivia RodrigoSOUR
Bruce Springsteen Joined Zach Bryan on Stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center: Watch
Zach Bryan wasn’t the only boss on stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday night (March 27). For the encore, Bruce Springsteen joined Bryan for two songs, including a performance of the unreleased number “Sandpaper.” The concert wrapped up with Bryan and The Boss dueting on “Revival,” the closer from the country-rock artist’s 2020 album release Elisabeth, with Maggie Rogers in support. Earlier, Rogers joined Bryan on stage for a rendition of “Dawns,” the standalone song they co-wrote and released in 2023.

The sight of Springsteen on stage, any stage, is a welcome one. Trending on Billboard The rock legend recently made a triumphant return, taking the stage in Phoenix, AZ with the E Street band to relaunch their world tour after a six-month break due to the singer’s battle with peptic ulcer. The problem was so acute, the 74-year-old icon has said he thought he might never perform live again. “You sing with your diaphragm,” he told E Street Radio host Jim Rotolo. “My diaphragm was hurting so badly that when I went to make the effort to sing, it was killing me, you know?,” he said. “So, I literally couldn’t sing at all, you know, and that lasted for two or three months, along with just a myriad of other painful problems. Twenty-nine shows were postponed as a result of the medical issue, all of which have been rescheduled for the months ahead. U.S. dates on Springsteen’s world tour are set to conclude late April, and are followed with a deep run across Europe and the U.K. Springsteen will go coast-to-coast in 24 hours. He’s on stage again tonight (March 28) at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. Bryan is enjoying a seriously hot run. He was named as Billboard’s Top New Artist for 2023, a year that saw him bag his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with his self-titled fourth LP (via Belting Bronco/Warner Records), and his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (“I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves). All 16 of the new release’s tracks debuted in the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, led by the Musgraves collaboration. Bryan’s The Quitting Time Tour returns to Barclays Arena on Thursday night , then moves on to Belmont Park, NY.
Broadcast Personality Revealed on ‘The Masked Singer’: Watch
Sir Lion, it turns out, wasn’t king of the weird jungle that is The Masked Singer. TV songs was the theme for Wednesday night’s (March 27) episode of Fox’s celebrity singing contest, which saw Clock (“Good Times”), Lizard (“Scooby Doo, Where Are You?”), Poodle Moth (“Unwritten” from The Hills), and the big cat ( “Love and Marriage” from Married With Children) belt out the small screen hits. Lizard, for the second consecutive week, and Sir Lion accumulated the lowest votes on the night, and faced off for their future on the show. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The pair tangled with “Who Are You” by the Who, the theme for The Masked Singer. The Lizard lives on, the Bridgerton-channeling Sir Lion is out. Under the feline mask was Billy Bush, the radio and TV personality, host of Fox’s Extra, who became the subject of international news when, during the 2016 presidential campaign, video resurfaced of him and Donald Trump engaged in a crude conversation. Trending on Billboard “I am not a great singer,” he said during his exit interview with The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon. “If you can’t get them with the lips, get them with the hips. I like to distract a little bit.” For viewers back home, Bush had some advice: Tackle your fears (The Masked Singer being his). “If you’ve ever done something that’s a little on the scary side — like, this is scary. I’m shaking back there — say ‘yes’. Do it. I had a ball.” Bush as Sir Lion follows the exit of Joe Bastianich (as Spaghetti & Meatballs), Savannah Chrisley (as Afghan Hound) and Kevin Hart (as Book) in this 11th season of Fox’s quirky singing competition. Cannon returns as host of The Masked Singer, which features the returning judges Robin Thicke, McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and newbie Rita Ora, who is filling in for Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who had a stint on London West End performing in Sunset Boulevard.
