Best-Selling Music of 2010

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2010 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More anchored 2010, a year when folk-rock and earnest British acts surged. Plan B's The Defamation of Strickland Banks, The xx's Mercury-winning debut and Cee Lo Green's The Lady Killer showed the breadth, while Susan Boyle's follow-up The Gift kept her talent-show momentum alive. The surprises run from the retro to the festive: Bublé's Crazy Love lingering, Andre Rieu's Forever Vienna bringing light classical to the chart, and Glee: The Music, Volume 1 riding the TV juggernaut. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream and Rihanna's Loud kept the pop machine humming. Across it all, 2010 favoured the heartfelt and the homegrown over flashier imports.
