There are three Korean pop stars on the most recent IFPI World Artist Chart. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), a non-profit organization that represents the global music recording business, released its annual rankings of the year’s top global musicians on February 22 (local time).

This ranking takes into account all of an artist’s releases, not simply those from the previous year, and gauges their overall global popularity. There are three Korean acts on this year’s ranking, with BTS at the top. By winning the IFPI World Recording Artist of the Year Award in 2021, BTS became the first Asian act to do it.

By repeating as champions for the previous year, the group established a new standard last year. It is BTS’s sixth time in the top 10 on IFPI’s Global Artist Chart, and their fourth time in the top two. SEVENTEEN comes in at number six, making it inside the top 10 for the second year running.

This year has been a particularly productive one for SEVENTEEN internationally; in addition to their third global tour, they have also released their fourth studio album, “Face the Sun,” which debuted in their first film, and released their third Japanese extended play.

The band Stray Kids has entered the top 10 of the IFPI World Artist Chart at position No. 7. The group’s worldwide fame was cemented by the release of multiple platinum EPs that year.

IFPI’s Top 10 Global Artists of 2022 are:

  1. Taylor Swift
  2. BTS
  3. Drake
  4. Bad Bunny
  5. The Weeknd
  6. SEVENTEEN
