Released in January 2024, “Beautiful Things” nabbed top spot in this year’s IFPI Global Single Chart, his first appearance in an IFPI Global Chart Top 10, and won silverware at the Billboard Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards.

The 21-year-old Monroe, WA native was nominated for best new artist at the 2025 Grammys, where he performed the song, and it peaked at No. 1 in the U.K. and Australia. “Beautiful Things” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Trending on Billboard

During the calendar year, “Beautiful Things” racked up 2.11 billion equivalent global subscription streams, according to data published today (Feb. 20) by the IFPI, and including paid subscription streaming, ad-supported platforms, and single-track downloads.

“We are delighted to present the IFPI Global Single Award to Benson Boone,” comments Victoria Oakley, CEO, IFPI. “As a global breakout artist, this is an amazing achievement to produce a truly worldwide hit. Congratulations to Benson, his team and Warner Records for this incredible accomplishment.”

Boone discovered his love for music when his friend asked him to join their group for a Battle of the Bands competition. He went on to audition for American Idol, where he received a standing ovation from the judges. Ultimately, he dropped out of the talent quest and took a different road, signing to Imagine Dragons’ lead singer Dan Reynolds’ label, Night Street Records/Warner Records. Now he’s on top of the world.

Boone leads a fresh-faced top three, ahead of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” respectively. U.S. artists dominate the tally with nine of the top 10. Irishman Hozier prevents a clean sweep with “Too Sweet,” dropping in at No. 6. IFPI’s recently-anointed Global Recording Artist of the Year, Taylor Swift, appears at No. 9 with “Cruel Summer.” The cut, lifted from her 2019 album Lover, enjoyed a resurgence thanks to her record-breaking The Eras Tour.
