INTERNATIONAL MUSIC TRADE BODY NAMES ADELE THE GLOBAL RECORDING ARTIST OF 2015 ACROSS ALL MUSIC FORMATS

Adele has been named by IFPI as the most popular recording artist across the globe in 2015, reflecting the phenomenal success of her record-breaking third album, 25.
The singer/songwriter is the third recipient of the IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year award, a unique accolade that reflects an artist’s worldwide popularity across physical formats, downloads and streams.

Adele’s success at the top of the chart was driven by the October release and subsequent phenomenal global success of lead single Hello from the album. The track was number one in more than 30 countries worldwide, including the US, Germany, France, Italy, Australia and the UK.
Adele’s album 25 followed in November and to date has notched up worldwide sales of over 15 million.

Commenting on today’s award, IFPI chief executive Frances Moore said: “I’m delighted to be able to honour Adele as the most popular global recording artist of 2015. Her album 25 has been the runaway global sensation of the year, breaking records across the world and reaching a vast audience of fans. All of the artists in our top 10 chart have achieved incredible success – and Adele’s achievement is simply phenomenal.”

IFPI’s Global Recording Artist award and top 10 chart is the first and only ranking to accurately capture the popularity of artists across streaming channels, alongside digital and physical album and singles sales on a global basis.

The independently verified Global Recording Artist chart includes sales of albums – across digital, CD and vinyl formats; singles, both downloaded and physical; on-demand audio streams and music videos across the calendar year. The chart includes all the music of each artist featured, not just one track or album. It uses track and album equivalents to combine measurements of downloads, physical sales and streams.

兰叔我转了哦

没说具体销量吗

这么看来，ifpi还是比较公正，没有把单曲下载按1:1算成唱片。要不然别人那么多feat,美国三四百万下载又认证成600万800万，轻轻松松全球几千万。

单曲折算成专辑，就得按照价格除以10，这样才是对专辑的尊重。
