YTD 2022 Results

In the nine months through Q3 2022

 

Physical revenue grew 8.2% year-over-year, or 4.6% in constant currency, driven by strong vinyl demand as well as continued CD sales, particularly from BTS and King & Prince. Downloads and other digital revenue increased 17.0% year-over-year, or 9.1% in constant currency, due to the Legal Settlement. License and other revenue improved 23.0% year-over-year, or 16.3% in constant currency as a result of improvements in synchronisation, live and brand deals. Top sellers included BTS, the Encanto soundtrack, Olivia Rodrigo, Morgan Wallen and The Weeknd while top sellers in the prior year included Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd and Morgan Wallen.

Ordinarily I would think BTS would be a lock for the IFPI #1 Artist position but Taylor has a stronger chance of getting the 2022 #1 position compared to years past.
