Best-Selling Music of 2015

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2015 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Adele's 25 dominated 2015, its November release outselling the field in record time. The standout pattern is classical crossover: If I Can Dream, pairing Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, charted at number two, a posthumous orchestral reimagining among the year's pop. Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams and Little Mix's Get Weird carried the chart-pop, while James Bay's Chaos And The Calm and Hozier's debut launched new voices. The Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack and Disney's Frozen kept film tie-ins selling. Justin Bieber's Purpose marked his comeback. But 2015 was Adele's year, with the orchestral Elvis revival an unlikely runner-up.
