The award from the international trade body for the recording industry comes after a thunderously successful year for BTS, who scored multiple accolades for their Map Of The Soul: 7 album, which reached Number 1 in more than 20 countries, including the Official UK Albums Chart. BTS finish ahead of last year's winner Taylor Swift. The K-pop phenomenon are the first Korean act to bag the prize, as well as the first act to top the list who perform primarily in a language other than English. BTS have been named as 2020's IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year, an annual honour that recognises the most popular act in the world based on streaming and sales, including vinyl, CDs and downloads.
