Best-Selling Music of 2013

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2013 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Now That's What I Call Music! 86 led 2013, but the year's headline was Robbie Williams' swing record Swings Both Ways sitting at number two. Arctic Monkeys' AM brought a career-best rock record, while One Direction's Midnight Memories and Emeli Sandé's enduring Our Version of Events carried the pop mainstream. The surprises reward attention: Daft Punk's Random Access Memories reviving disco, Bastille's Bad Blood breaking through, and the Les Misérables film soundtrack charting alongside The Lumineers' folk debut. Williams returned again with To Be Loved. Between compilations, boy-band pop and a guitar-rock high point in AM, 2013 spread British buying across comfortable and credible alike.
