Seventeen’s album “FML” has been named the biggest-selling album globally in 2023, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
This marks the first time a K-pop band has topped the IFPI chart. Five of the top 10 albums on the chart were by South Korean acts, representing the best-ever performance for K-pop.
“FML,” released in April 2023, became the most pre-ordered album in K-pop history and achieved chart success in South Korea, Japan, the United States, and France.
Seventeen was awarded the IFPI Global Album Award for 2023, which recognizes an album’s sales across streaming, download, and physical formats worldwide.
The group’s album “Seventeenth Heaven” also ranked number 8 on the IFPI chart. The IFPI rankings did not provide specific figures for total album sales.
