The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) represents the interests of the recording industry world wide, with a continous growth of music markets as one of its main goals.

As one of the most legitimate music organisations, they have access to raw data and base their observations of the music market on it. Compared to other charts that have limited metrics, the IFPI takes a look at the comphrensive data and verifys it to determine how markets change yearly.

This page  records the yearly top artists in streaming and physical sales worldwide- lets make sure to get ENHYPEN on the list for 2024!!

The categorisation is mainly important for two things:

1. Popular artists from bigger streaming markets are likelier to get high placements on Global Charts. Making sure that ENHYPEN charts high in any of the aforementioned countries is guaranteeing bigger placements. This doesn't mean that any of the countries not mentioned here are less important! Growing markets, such as those in SEA, Africa and South America are starting to play a bigger role

2. IFPI is has legitimate systems in place to make sure that its charts are accurate- even if Hanteo or Gaon (Circle) Album Charts are incomplete or aren't updating their sales correctly,we could see if we have (or had) a legitimate claim regarding ENHYPENs nominatons on Korean Award Shows.
