IFPI has revealed that Flowers by Miley Cyrus is the winner of the IFPI 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.

The award is presented annually to the artist with the world’s best-selling single of the year across all digital formats from the organisation that represents the recorded music industry worldwide.

Cyrus’ hit song, released in January 2023, scooped the record of the year at the Grammys this year as well as the best solo pop performance.

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.

 

Miley Cyrus had the highest-earning song on Spotify in 2023. Songs by SZA and Harry Styles make up the Top Three.

According to the newly-shared results, Cyrus was the artist who earned the highest amount from one song on her track ‘Flowers’. Arriving earlier this year, the track was featured on her ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ album and went on to become one of the biggest tracks of the year.
