Taylor Swift has done it again, and honestly, at this point, we should all just accept that she’s operating on a completely different level than the rest of the music industry.
The IFPI has officially crowned Swift the world’s best-selling artist of 2025, making her the first artist in history to top the prestigious Global Artist Chart a jaw-dropping six times. If you’re keeping score at home, that’s 2014, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, and now 2025. This also marks her fourth consecutive year sitting comfortably at No. 1. Comfortable, of course, being relative when you’re rewriting history with every move you make.
Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl Continues To Seal Her Legacy as Music’s Reigning Goddess
The achievement comes on the heels of The Life of a Showgirl, Swift’s dazzling 12th studio album, which proved that even after more than two decades in the spotlight, she has zero intention of slowing down. The record is, in every sense of the word, a triumph, and the IFPI numbers back that up in a way that is impossible to argue with.
Swift also officially surpassed Madonna to claim the record for the most No. 1s on Pop Radio by any artist ever. Madonna, a true icon in her own right, held that crown for decades. Swift didn’t just nudge past her.
What makes Swift’s dominance so remarkable is its consistency. This is not a flash-in-the-pan moment or a nostalgic victory lap. This is a global superstar who continues to evolve, captivate, and utterly dominate the conversation year after year. Fans across every continent have made her their artist of choice, and the IFPI data reflects just how staggering that loyalty really is.
Six IFPI titles. Four consecutive years at No. 1. The Pop Radio record. A brand new album already etching itself into the cultural consciousness.
Taylor Swift is not just winning. She is redefining what winning even looks like.
