Taylor Swift Becomes First Artist To Win IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year Award 3 Times
Making her the most successful artist for IFPI so far.
Taylor Swift has made history once again. She has won the IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year Award for 2022. This makes her the first artist to win this particular award three times.
According to Billboard, the Global Recording Artist of the Year award “recognizes the year’s best-selling act across physical sales, downloads and streaming worldwide, making Swift the most successful artist in the award’s 10-year history.” Considering that Midnights, which dropped in October 2022, became one of her biggest albums to date, this does not come as a surprise.
IFPI chief executive Frances Moore refers to the pop star as “a truly magnificent international star, who continues to grow and evolve as an artist whilst maintaining an incredibly strong connection with her fans around the world.”
