Best-Selling Music of 2021

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2021 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Adele's 30 led 2021, the long-awaited return topping a year of heavyweight comebacks. ABBA's Voyage, their first album in forty years, charted across multiple editions, while Ed Sheeran's = and Elton John's collaborative The Lockdown Sessions kept established stars front and centre. The vinyl revival is unmistakable here: Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Nirvana's Nevermind, the Beatles' Abbey Road and Amy Winehouse's Back To Black all reappearing on wax decades on. Olivia Rodrigo's debut Sour marked a new pop arrival. With Adele and ABBA bookending a list thick with reissued classics, 2021 caught British buyers reaching equally for the brand-new and the timeless.
