Harry Styles Win's IFPI Global Single Award for As It Was
Global superstar Harry Styles has won the IFPI Global Single Award for his hit single " As It Was" after the single became the best-selling song for 2022.
IFPI is the organisation which represents the recorded music industry worldwide, and presents the award 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.
As It Was is Harry Styles' first IFPI Global Single Award – but marks the tenth anniversary of his other IFPI Award win which he previously won with former band One Direction.
One Direction topped the first ever IFPI Global Recording Artist Chart and also the IFPI Global Album Chart back in 2013.
Styles led a strong performance from all UK artists in the latest annual chart and is joined by fellow British stars Glass Animals with their hit Heat Waves at number two, and Elton John's collaboration with Dua Lipa on Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) reaching number four.
Further tracks from Ed Sheeran (Shivers at number seven, Bad Habits at number ten), Adele (Easy On Me at number 13) and Dua Lipa's Levitating (ft. DaBaby) at number 12.
For the first time the Top 20 sees four songs performed predominantly in Spanish feature – global star Bad Bunny appearing twice, at number nine with his collaboration with Chencho Corleone, Me Porto Bonito, and at number 11 with his solo hit Tità Me Preguntó. Fellow Puerto Rican artist Farruko made his debut appearing in the IFPI Global Single Chart with his single Pepas landing at number 18, while Colombian star Karol G also debuted with her single PROVENZA at number 20
