The IFPI has released its year-end Global Artist Chart for 2025!
On February 18, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI)—a non-profit organization that represents the music recording industry worldwide—revealed its annual ranking of last year’s top recording artists.
The Global Artist Chart ranks recording artists by their commercial performance, which is measured by global streams, digital downloads, and physical sales across their entire body of work (not exclusive to new material released in the calendar year).
Stray Kids took No. 2 on the Global Artist Chart for 2025, marking their highest ranking on the year-end chart to date.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN made the year-end chart at No. 14.
