The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, an organization that represents the recorded music industry worldwide, has announced that Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” has won its Global Single Award for 2023.
The IFPI Global Single Award is presented to the artist with the world’s best-selling single of the year across all digital formats – including paid subscription streaming, ad-supported platforms, and single-track downloads.
“Flowers” took the No. 1 spot in this year’s IFPI Global Single Chart, marking Miley’s first appearance in the Top 10. The double Grammy Award-winning song, released in January 2023, hit No. 1 simultaneously in 29 markets around the world and finished the year at the top of the 2023 charts in markets including the U.K., France and Australia.
The Top 10 also saw first ever IFPI Global Chart appearances for artists from Nigeria (with Rema’s “Calm Down” with Selena Gomez at No. 2) and Mexico (with Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma’s “La Bebe” at No. 6), reflecting the global rise of the Afrobeats and Regional Mexican genres in 2023.
Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” which topped the year-end charts in the U.S., reached No. 8 on the chart, while last year’s IFPI No. 1 Global Single, “As It Was” by Harry Styles, was ranked No. 5.
Two of Taylor Swift’s songs are featured in the Top 10, with “Anti-Hero,” the lead single from Midnights, reaching No. 9, and “Cruel Summer” from Lover at No. 7 following a resurgence in popularity thanks to her record-breaking Eras tour.
The Weeknd’s “Die For You” came in at No. 4.
