American pop star Taylor Swift, on Wednesday, added another award to her long list of awards, by winning the Best International Recording Artist of the Year award for the fourth time from the International Phonographic Federation, the organization that represents the recorded music industry around the world.
The singer of the song “Anti-Hero” won the award for the second year in a row, having previously won it in 2014 and 2019.
According to the International Phonographic Union, the award is calculated by evaluating the number of artist or band sales worldwide in streaming, downloads and recording sales during the year and covers their entire body of work.
The artist who tops the International Phonographic Union’s global list of artists receives the International Recording Artist of the Year award, which Swift has succeeded in doing more than any other artist since the list was launched 11 years ago.
K-pop groups Seventeen and Stray Kids ranked second and third respectively on the list, in what the federation described as “a record year for Korean artists.”
Earlier this month, Swift (34 years old) set another record at the Grammy Awards, winning Album of the Year for the fourth time.
