Top 40 best-selling albums and singles of 2013 revealed
The BPI and Official Charts Company have revealed the top 40 biggest-selling albums and singles of 2013 in the UK.
Topping the singles chart, quite predictably, are Robin Thicke and Daft Punk, with the likes of Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and more coming elsewhere in the top 10.
One Direction claim the best-selling album of 2013, despite Midnight Memories only being out just over a month. AM by Arctic Monkeys places at 8th spot.
