One Direction tops IFPI’s 2013 Global Recording Artists & Albums chart
6:57 PMVeraReflecting the increasing diversity of digital channels, IFPI launched its inaugural Global Recording Artist Chart in January 2014. The chart captured the popularity of artists across multiple licensed channels, including streams on access services such as YouTube and Spotify as well as ownership services such as download stores and physical sales across 2013. It was topped by UK-Irish band One Direction - driven by the global success of their third album Midnight Memories and hit singles Best Song Ever and Story Of My Life. One Direction also topped the 2013 global albums chart with Midnight Memories. The album was the fastest selling of 2013 in the UK and sold more than a million copies in its first five weeks of release in the US. It topped the charts in dozens of countries worldwide, from Australia to Sweden. Source |
