2019年3月13日，代表全球唱片業的IFPI國際總會宣布，大娛樂家電影原聲帶(OST)是2018年全球最暢銷的專輯。
此專原聲帶(OST)輯與在全球大賣的大娛樂家電影一起發行，在澳洲、日本、英國和美國的排行榜上名列前茅。這張專輯還在60多個國家的iTunes上排名第一。專輯主打歌【This is Me】在英國排名前五，在其他多個國家排名前十。
華納音樂集團總裁Max Lousada說：「在這個全球音樂無限可能的時代，這項出乎預期年度的唱片最大獎讓業界驚豔，恰如其分。這種現象是被獨特的嗓音和製作精美的歌曲所激發，然後透過我們出色的行銷團隊和超級熱情歌迷的大力相挺而擴散。對於每個華納和大西洋唱片的夥伴來說，協助傳遞大娛樂家容忍和接受的訊息給全世界這真是太棒了。」
IFPI國際總裁Frances Moore表示：「大娛樂家電影原聲帶是年度最有價值的作品，喚起我們音樂扮演著將觀眾與他們喜愛的電影聯繫起來的重要角色。除了電影本身，我們看到電影配樂在全球確實大受歡迎。」
韓國男孩團體防彈少年團在2018年8月發行的LOVE YOURSELF結'Answer'和2018年5月發行的LOVE YOURSELF轉'Tear'，名列排行榜第二和第三。
Frances Moore緊接著說：「防彈少年團專輯排行榜上排名第二和第三持續的驚人成就，展現他們如何用音樂與世界各地的人們交流的能力。他們的作品、才能和奉獻精神與他們全球粉絲團的熱情和忠誠相互輝印。」
IFPI全球專輯排行榜最暢銷專輯是合併全球實體和數位專輯的銷售數量來進行排名。

The Greatest Showman soundtrack named
best-selling album of 2018
13th March 2019 – IFPI, the organisation that represents the recorded music industry worldwide, has announced that The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (OST) was the best-selling album globally in 2018.
Released alongside the hugely popular film, The Greatest Showman (OST) was a global success, topping charts in countries including Australia, Japan, UK and US. The album also reached number one on iTunes in over 60 countries. This is Me, the album’s lead single, charted in the top five in the UK and the top 10 in multiple other countries.
Max Lousada, CEO of Recorded Music, Warner Music Group, said: “At a time when the global possibilities for music feel limitless, it’s fitting that the biggest record of the year defied expectations and took the industry by surprise. This phenomenon was ignited by unique voices and beautifully crafted songs, then amplified by our amazing marketing teams and the power of super passionate fans. It’s been fantastic for everyone at Warner and Atlantic to help The Greatest Showman’s message of tolerance and acceptance cascade across the world.”
Frances Moore, chief executive of IFPI, said: “The Greatest Showman soundtrack was the jewel in the crown of a year that reminded us of the powerful role music plays in connecting audiences with the movies they love. Alongside the movie itself, we have seen the soundtrack truly embraced on a global scale.”
South Korean boyband BTS take both the second and third chart positions with the albums LOVE YOURSELF 結 'Answer' released in August 2018, and LOVE YOURSELF 轉 'Tear', released in May 2018.
Moore continued: “BTS’s ongoing phenomenal success is evidenced by them taking both second and third place in the album chart and demonstrates how their music has the power to engage with people all over the world. Their work, talent and dedication is matched by the passion and commitment of their global fanbase.”
The IFPI Global Album Chart combines global sales of physical and digital albums to rank the best-selling albums of the year. The chart includes physical and digital album unit sales only.
