To almost no-one's surprise, Taylor Swift dominated the UK music charts in 2025.
The star's 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, was the year's biggest seller, shifting an impressive 642,000 copies since its release in October.
Women led the way all year, with breakout Brits like Olivia Dean and Lola Young powering the music industry to a record-breaking year, as combined sales rose by nearly 5% to 201 million albums sold or streamed.
There was also a huge resurgence for Oasis, whose blockbuster reunion tour helped them shift more than one million albums during 2025.
The band's greatest hits compilation, Time Flies, was the fourth biggest album of the year, while (What's The Story) Morning Glory, was seventh.
