On February 18 local time, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI)—a non-profit organization that represents the music recording industry worldwide—revealed its annual rankings of last year’s best-selling albums across global physical sales and digital downloads.
With the exception of Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” all of the top 10 albums for 2024 were by K-pop artists. ENHYPEN’s “ROMANCE : UNTOLD” ranked No. 2 on the year-end chart, while SEVENTEEN and Stray Kids both made the top 10 twice. SEVENTEEN claimed No. 3 and No. 4 with “SPILL THE FEELS” and “17 IS RIGHT HERE” respectively, while Stray Kids took No. 5 and No. 6 with “ATE” and “合 (HOP).”
IVE’s “IVE SWITCH” came in at No. 7 on this year’s chart, NCT DREAM’s “DREAM( )SCAPE” at No. 8, aespa’s “Armageddon” at No. 9, and TXT’s “minisode 3: TOMORROW” at No. 10.
