For those who need a refresher, the IFPI tracks global streaming activity, physical sales, and digital downloads for its rankings. The federation typically publishes six major annual charts: - Global Recording Artist Chart - Global Single Chart - Global Album Chart (Combined metrics) - Global Album Sales Chart (Pure sales) - Global Vinyl Album Chart - Global Streaming Album Chart Last year, Taylor Swift made history by becoming the first artist to win the Global Recording Artist of the Year five times (2014, 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024) and achieved a near all-kill, topping five out of the six charts with her 11th studio album: The Tortured Poets Department. Drop your predictions of who takes each of these awards below and check back in on Wednesday for the announcements starting with the countdown of the Global Recording Artists of the year.

atp i'd be surprised by them releasing a good song

holiday season it will be back to Friday for final and Tuesday mid-weeks from next week

you forgot shake it off

has the downfall finally arrived?

[Bridge] Let's go Let's go, let's go Ayy, yeah Let's go, let's go Yeah, yeah, let's go Yeah, let's go, let's go [Verse 3] What did I miss?

On track to do less than 70k, so it will be between her and morgan

Stray Kids will most likely take it but Wicked has a chance to go number one the following week

Rapper NF's first new project in two years, FEAR (NF Real Music/CMG), Summer Walker's trilogy-capping Finally Over It(LVRN/Interscope) and 5 Seconds of Summer's EVERYONE'S A STAR! (Republic) will be the week's top new entries. All three titles are in the mix for Top 5 debuts. Now if you'll excuse us, we've got to get back to baking holiday pies. NF (NF Real/Capitol) 64-68k Summer Walker (LVRN/Interscope) 59-63k 5 Seconds of Summer (Republic) 50-55k

Ophelia >>

1. The Fate of Ophelia 145 2. Opalite 105 3. Manchild 100 4. Elizabeth Taylor 96 5. Man of the Year 87 6. Father Figure 86 7. What Was That 83 8. Wood 77 9. Actually Romantic 73 10. Wi$h Li$t 71

literally the only time I see anyone complaining about variants is on Taylor's release week

THANK GOD

This album is going to do numbers. Her store got 12.26m visits last month according to similarweb which is nearly the same traffic as it saw in all of 2022. Here's how the traffic compares to other releases/months.

the last one is beautiful. the first is frightening and the second is rapturous.

2.5m

Dua definitely seems to be mimicking a more Beyoncé-like career shift right now, transitioning from radio friendly pop girl (DC, DIL, BD, IASF) into a more sophisticated, acclaimed respected artist and performer (4, ST, L). Radical Optimism will probably be her 4, underperforming singles left and right but she will solidify a touring fanbase and won't really flop even if it seems like a career lull.

Equus as in Daniel Radcliffe?
