Taylor Swift had the best selling album of 2024 in the UK, while her fellow female singers dominated the rest of the rankings for the biggest record of this year. Women topped the Official Singles Chart for 34 weeks in 2024 and claimed half of the year’s top 20 albums for the first time, the music industry group the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) said.
US superstar Swift, 35, came first in the list of the biggest albums of 2024, which was compiled from Official Charts Company data, with her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department. However, she did not feature in the top 10 biggest selling singles of this year, despite the success of her track Fortnight, featuring Post Malone.
The rest of the top 10 albums of 2024 saw Canadian singer The Weeknd’s 2021 compilation album The Highlights continue to go strong, coming in at number two. At number three was American singer Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth album Short n’ Sweet, while Noah Kahan’s record Stick Season made it to number four, and fellow US singer Billie Eilish reached number five with her third studio album Hit Me Hard And Soft.
US star Chappell Roan, who had a breakout year, arrived at sixth place with her debut The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hit record 50 Years – Don’t Stop reached number seven, and British singer Charli XCX claimed eighth place with her culture-shaping album Brat, which inspired the “Brat Summer” trend.
