Harry Styles and Kate Bush among 2022's British best-sellers

British stars were responsible for all of the UK's Top 10 best-selling singles in 2022, for the First Time since year-end charts began over 50 Years ago.

Harry Styles ' Smash Hit As It Was was the biggest-seller, while Last Year 's Number One , Ed Sheeran 's Bad Habits , clung on to second place.

Kate Bush 's 1985 single Running Up That Hill, which enjoyed a new lease of life thanks to Stranger Things , came sixth.

Styles also had 2022's biggest Album with his third release, Harry's House.

Sheeran's latest Album = (Equals ) was at Number Two for a second consecutive year, while Taylor Swift 's Midnights was 2022's third biggest Album - and the biggest-seller on vinyl.

Almost every other Album in The Top 10 was a Greatest Hits collection, with perennial favourites by Fleetwood Mac , Elton John and Abba joined by more recent compilations by Little Mix and The Weeknd .

Their dominance reflects the fact that fans are increasingly streaming classic songs instead of new hits.

by The Competition and Markets authority found that 86% of the songs played on services like Spotify and Amazon Music were More Than 12 Months old, up from 76% in 2017.

The overwhelming presence of " best of" albums is also explained by a quirk (some might say a bug) of the official charts rules.

Under the current system, when a fan streams Abba's Dancing Queen , it is counted as a partial sale for both The Album It Comes from, Arrival, and the compilation Abba Gold.

Because Abba Gold contains practically all of The Band 's most-popular songs, it will always outsell their studio albums - and most of the year's new releases, too.

The best-seller lists were unveiled by the BPI, which represents the UK's recorded Music Industry .

It said music consumption had increased for The Eighth consecutive year in 2022, with annual audio streaming figures approaching 160 billion for the First Time .

However the era of double-digit year-on-year growth in streams appears to be over.

The total number of streams increased by 8. 3% in 2022, compared to 21. 5% in 2020.

The BPI said it now takes an average of 1. 3 million audio streams to break into The Top 40 singles chart, and a combined 7 million audio and video streams to land a UK Number One single.

Vinyl sales increased for the 15th year in a row, with 5. 5 million record sold, the highest number since 1990, when …But Seriously by Phil Collins was the year's biggest-seller.

However, CDs were still The Major format, despite sales falling 19. 3% over The Last 12 Months .

In total, 11. 6 million discs were sold, led by Taylor Swift 's Midnights, George Ezra 's Gold Rush Kid and Arctic Monkeys ' The Car .
