Taylor Wins Again!

Taylor Swift Claims Fourth Straight Global Artist Of The Year Award

Taylor Swift has earned her fourth consecutive Biggest-Selling Global Artist of the Year title from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, marking her sixth overall win. The IFPI credits Swift’s 12th studio album. The Life of a Showgirl, and Disney+ documentary series, The End of an Era, for driving significant worldwide fan engagement. Her latest album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in October 2025 and spent 12 weeks atop the chart. Lead singles “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Opalite” also reached No. 1 and 2, respectively, on the Hot 100. Swift gained additional streaming momentum after recently regaining control of her music catalog from Big Machine Label Group six years after it was sold to Scooter Braun‘s Ithaca Holdings. As a result, Reputation saw a 1,184 percent increase in album sales and 125 percent streaming boost, totaling 34.75 million streams. The IFPI notes Swift “has now won the award as many times as all other artists combined over the past 10 years.”
