A prominent South Korean group has achieved a remarkable feat, securing a position on the IFPI Global Artist Chart for the fourth consecutive year. Since their debut at No. 7 in 2022, they’ve consistently climbed the ranks, reaching an impressive No. 2 in 2025, just behind Taylor Swift, according to the IFPI announcement on Wednesday (U.S. time).
The IFPI Global Artist Chart comprehensively evaluates worldwide consumption across all formats, considering an artist’s complete discography, not just releases from the past year. This holistic approach provides a true reflection of global popularity.
Adding to the impressive showing of Korean artists, Seventeen also made the list, ranking 14th. This is Seventeen’s fifth consecutive year on the chart, solidifying their presence since 2021.
