The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) named One Direction as the Global Recording Artist of 2013. The IFPI is an organization that represents the recording industry worldwide. It has 1,300 members in 66 countries.
This is the first time that IFPI published their global recording artist chart. The top 10 global recording artists were chosen based on these factors: popularity of the artists across streaming channels, the number of views of their respective music videos, and the digital and physical albums and singles sales worldwide. According to IFPI's Chief Executive Frances Moore, their chart measures the popularity of artists across the many different ways in which fans choose their music.
One Direction is followed by Eminem and Justin Timberlake on the number 2 and 3 spots, respectively.
Congratulations to One Direction and to the Directioners worldwide!
