Best-Selling Music of 2023

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2023 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

The Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds, their first new album in eighteen years, topped 2023 — proof of rock's enduring catalogue pull. The Beatles' Now And Then, the AI-assisted 'final' single, also charted, alongside the band's expanded 1962–1966 and 1967–1970 reissues. The pattern is catalogue strength: Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Pink Floyd's Dark Side reissues and Taylor Swift's re-recorded 1989 (Taylor's Version) and reputation all selling hard. Among the new, Lewis Capaldi's Broken By Desire, Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS and Metallica's 72 Seasons stood out. Peter Gabriel's i/o closed a long gap. With veterans and re-records dominating, 2023 was a year of heritage acts reasserting themselves.
