How this ranking was built
Compiled 2026-10-16. The window is calendar year 2025. Press date 2026-02-20. All four tables follow the ranks IFPI printed. The all-format chart and the streaming chart have no units column, so none is added here. Album sales count physical albums and full-album downloads. Vinyl counts vinyl albums only. A release needs at least five tracks to qualify; remixes and alternate versions of the same track do not count toward that five. Singles: global singles.
