Best-Selling Music of 2009

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2009 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream topped 2009, the Britain's Got Talent sensation outselling everyone in a year shaped by TV-talent fame. JLS's debut and Cheryl Cole's 3 Words rode the same wave, while Michael Bublé's Crazy Love and the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D dominated mainstream pop. The surprises lean posthumous and nostalgic: Michael Jackson's This Is It, Bad and Off the Wall all re-charting after his death, alongside Florence + the Machine's debut Lungs. Lady Gaga's The Fame and The Fame Monster signalled the year's pop future. From Boyle to Bublé, 2009 was a year when familiar comfort and reality-TV stardom carried the chart.
