The way she’s going Top 10 next year looks almost guaranteed though.

More gutted at Fontaines missing the Top 40 by a whisker!

Hooray for Fleetwood Mac making top 5 - and staying ahead of Weeknd, though just missing out to Oasis on being the top greatest hits collection other than recent releases (Ed Sheeran).

And hooray for Rumours climbing into the top 20 at the last minute as a result of being bought for Christmas presents - and to staying ahead of Arctic Monkeys to be the second biggest retro studio album - but missing out to Oasis again.

Oasis have clearly had a great year, and Fleetwood Mac just seem to be getting bigger year on year - or at least not fading away.

50 Years - has spent the past 6 years at 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 (and almost - though not quite - in that order).

'÷' makes the top 40 for a 9th year in a row, can it make it 10/10 next year...

Unlucky for Fontaines - last year 50 Cent made #41 with Dua holding on at #40, but he went one better this time.

Out of the 100 albums in the EOY chart, only 16 were released in 2025.

Reputation and midnights so close on overall sales, Reputation coming for her second most successful

Think Frank Ocean - Blonde was #101 with 90k and Stereophonics - Decade In The Sun was #102 with 89k

Some of the decade’s biggest albums that didn’t make it this year:

89k Sam Fender - Hypersonic Missiles

89k Nirvana - Nevermind

87k Guns ‘n’ Roses - Greatest Hits

87k Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under

86k Adele - 25

85k Taylor Swift - 1989

84k The Weeknd - Starboy

83k Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia

83k Bee Gees - Timeless

82k Adele - 21

82k Ed Sheeran - =

81k Pink - Greatest Hits… So Far!!!

80k Harry Styles - Harry’s House

79k Drake - Certified Lover Boy

79k Eminem - The Eminem Show

78k Ed Sheeran - X

74k Taylor Swift - Evermore

72k Harry Styles - Fine Line

71k Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

70k Taylor Swift - Red (Taylor’s Version)

Even = and X did more than half of plays sales this year 😮

Finally some estimates for certified recent albums that didn’t make it:

Tyler, The Creater - Chromakopia 85k (total 157k)

Linkin Park - From Zero 69k (total 150k)

Playboi Carti - I Am Music 84k

Lily Allen - West End Girl 84k

Myles Smith - A Minute… 83k

Esdeekid - Rebel 75k

Avicii - Avicii Forever 71k

Bad Bunny - DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS 68k

Yungblud - Idols 65k

Wolf Alice - The Clearing 63k

Doechii - Alligator Bites Never Heal 63k

Addison Rae - Addison 62k

Pulp - More 62k

Thanks all for following this year! A decade to date countdown will follow.

Did Beatles 1 or Sgt Pepper make the Top 200?

84k so far lily should definitely go gold when the physicals drop (if she hasnt already before)🙌

Did Madonna's 'Finally Enough Love' have around 80,000 units this year?
