Taylor Swift has been named the IFPI Official Biggest-Selling Global Artist of 2025, marking her sixth overall win and fourth consecutive year topping the global chart — a record that underlines her sustained worldwide dominance. A landmark year was fuelled by massive streaming, physical and digital success surrounding her 12th album The Life of a Showgirl and tour documentary The End of an Era.

Elsewhere on the chart, Stray Kids reached a career-high No.2, Bad Bunny secured a sixth straight year on the ranking, while Tyler The Creator and Mrs. GREEN APPLE made notable first appearances. Lady Gaga also returned to the chart, alongside re-entries from Ed Sheeran, SZA and Justin Bieber, reflecting the continued impact of global release strategies and international fan engagement.
