Harry also had 2022’s top selling album with ‘Harry’s House’, followed by Ed’s ‘=’ (2021).

Reacting to the all-Brit Top 10 – the first in the annual chart’s over-50-year history – BPI’s Leon Neville celebrated the result in an era when “streaming has created unprecedented competition from every corner of the globe”.

“This outstanding achievement is a testament to the rich music talent that continues to emerge from the UK’s nations, fuelled by the passion, investment and skills of UK record labels,” he added (via The Sun). 

Brits streamed or bought 166.1 million albums last year, with streaming accounting for 86.1 per cent of the market and single track streams topping 150 billion for the first time.

Meanwhile, physical sales saw CDs hit 11.6 million units sold, with 5.5 million vinyl albums shifted – marking an increase for a 15th consecutive year.

Top 10 UK Singles of 2022:

  1. Harry Styles – As It Was
  2. Ed Sheeran – Bad Habits
  3. Fireboy DML & Ed Sheeran –Peru
  4. Cat Burns – Go
  5. Ed Sheeran – Shivers
