K-pop boy bands SEVENTEEN and Stray Kids were among the biggest-selling recording artists of 2024, based on a ranking released late Tuesday by an industry body.

SEVENTEEN and Stray Kids managed to stay in the top 10 of the Global Recording Artist Chart by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), an organization that represents the recording music industry.

The 13-member SEVENTEEN placed third on the 2024 chart, while the eight-piece Stray Kids ranked fifth.

Both groups saw slight drops in their rankings, with SEVENTEEN falling one spot from their 2023 position and Stray Kids slipping from No. 3. This year's artist chart featured fewer K-pop acts in the top 10, with only two groups making the cut compared to four last year.
