Best-Selling DVDs & Blu-rays of 2012
The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.
A definitive look back at the 2012 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.
Seth MacFarlane's Ted topped the chart ahead of The Dark Knight Rises, an irreverent comedy outselling the year's biggest blockbuster. The defining pattern is British and American television box sets crowding the list: Downton Abbey across several series, Sherlock, Game of Thrones' first season, Homeland, Call the Midwife and The Big Bang Theory all chart. War Horse and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel carry the prestige films. The surprises are the event titles, the official London 2012 Olympic Games DVD at five, and Mrs Brown's Boys appearing repeatedly across series and live shows. A year when the TV box set arguably mattered more to buyers than the films.
