Taylor Swift was the highest-selling musician in 2019.
Find out how the singer/songwriter earned the title below…
Following a PR tornado which saw the performer cast as somewhat of a far-right villain in Pop’s story, Swift re-emerged in 2019 as a fun-loving and left-leaning songbird with a new album named ‘Lover.’
Today she has learned that sales of the set and her earlier releases made her the highest-selling artist of the year….globally.
IFPI CEO Frances Moore shared…
Taylor Swift is the epitome of a truly global star. She continues to grow as an artist and maintains an incredibly strong connection with her fanbase, whilst continuing to evolve her sound with each album. It is a pleasure to be able to present her with the Global Recording Artist of the Year award for the second time.
See below:
IFPI Top 10 Global Recording Artists of 2019.
1. Taylor Swift
2. Ed Sheeran
3. Post Malone
4. Billie Eilish
5. Queen
6. Ariana Grande
7. BTS
8. Drake
9. Lady Gaga
10. The Beatles
The artists above aren’t the only musicians to make monumental moves in 2019. Here are a few notable mentions.
In October 2019, the Urban starlet Summer Walker saw her debut album ‘Over It‘ soar to number 2 on the Billboard 200 with the highest first-week streaming figure to be earned by a female R&B star to date.
This, after the Pop princess Normani launched the smash hit jam ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ with Brit-Pop prince Sam Smith and watched it glide to glory with over 10 million sales-equivalent units sold worldwide.
Back in July, the Nigerian superstar Burna Boy unleashed his hit-kissed album ‘African Giant’ which earned a Metacritic score of 80 out of 100, as the Dutch musician Cimo Frankel saw sales of his music clock in at the 650,000 unit mark in Europe and 1.2 million album equivalent-units worldwide.

Congrats
Oh but where’s Camila Cabullshit?
???
DRAG HA!!! ???????
????? ?
Normani?
????????
Motivation was the best selling song of 2019 with 1 billion streams.
We like to see it.
????
Normani is a flop, no star quality. Lizzo outshined her 360 degrees in 2019 and will outshine here again this year.
Taylor is such a beauty! Congratulations my dear!
Normani looks like a dragqueen as usual. TGJ stop hyping the flop F*******. The GP is dragging her because of you guys.
Wow the Elbow calling the ankle ashy..
Ms Thing this blog overhypes your fave when ever they get the opportunity thats why her posts have near 100 comments, they use Normani in the same way because of rapid haters like Clarkson who can overtake 90% of the comments.
Also I heard Yikes is no where to be seen on BB100 after 2 weeks. Oops a Megatron T.
Nicki Minaj- 49.84 million Spotify streams
Iggy Azalea- 7.354 million Spotify streams
????????????
Queen she did all this while underperfoming. She is here to stay. Just like the Beatles and Queen, topping lists almost 20 years into your career. Higher than the main girls at their peak. We Def love to SEE it!
Taylor stans don’t comment and add pings here. They mixed the article with unrelevant artists. Stop supporting this blog. It’s shady.
Yes, they are using Taylor swift to promote flop artistes like normani
?????
If ur a a Taylor swift fan, never support that girl called normani, her fans call Taylor swift a racist all the time
Infact normani stans call everybody a racist
Selena Gomez
Taylor swift
Arianna Grande
Dua lipa
Any successful pop girl, they label her a racist.
Britney, xtina, Gaga have never been labeled racist. Any successful pop girl is labeled a racist? Idiot.
Girl dont take this bloger seriously. He has been incompetent from the very begining hence why this blog has went no where since 2015. He is unable to inckude black people because “urban blog” thats why movie trailer posts only tag black supporting characters/actors and sometimes extras.
Not include*
The TGJ writer David and username @onlyfacts are the same ?????
David is a Normani Stan that is biased against other artist and tend to overhype flop artist like normano.
You wish you fat bish
Post about Nicki falling out of the hot100 with her return only after 2 weeks just like Megatron. And add a paragraph on why she should stay in retirement and plan a family with her fraudalant wack husbandT.
Biatch phlz. LOL
You an Iggy azalea Stan! Queen Nicki was always the queen periodt. Foh w that “iggy is the queen of rap” s***. She ain’t nowhere close to Nicki’s level of success ?✊?? Iggy is the female version of vanilla ice
Honey child please, I dont stan Iggy, I might live for her music videos and use her lyric as a display name but girl denied!
Sit dow little c***. Your manufactored swagger jagger fav is the real Vanilla ice, ask Safaree, ask Lil Kim and ask Gaga.
The self proclaimed queen of rap lost that right the moment bodak yellow hit #1. So hang it up flat screen, she never had the remote hunny
Female artists with the most monthly listeners on Spotify:

Not a nicki stan, but she’s relevant.
Exactly thank ü
She did that with a feature, nothing new there why is she unable to last 5 weeks with her own songs? Then again you the r***** going around parading Shawn’s Accomplishment as Camela’s, thing take several seats at Romance tour.
Gurl, why u mad?
Numbers dont lie
Bot a nicki minaj stan, I was dragging her yesterday, but I am not bias, I speak the truth.
Nicki is relevant, her spotify numbers are a clear indication of her relevancy.

To be fare no one knew it was releasing. But the floppening of that album is astonishing to me, even the Charlies angels outstreamed.

Why is Normani’s pic there…………..What did she sell?
It is meant for people to laugh.???

Hahahahaha , they really wanted her to be hated by the public
Normani failed to even reach top 32 without a feature. At least Camila reached #6 with Never Be The Same
Beyonce and Rihanna could never
