Green Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Top 40 biggest albums of 2017 on the Official Chart 2017 really was the year of Ed Sheeran, with ÷ finishing as the year’s best-selling album. Ed’s third studio record finishes 2017 with combined sales of 2.7 million, 672,000 of which were logged in its first week of release in March, making it the fastest-selling ever by a solo male, and the third fastest-selling album of all time behind Adele’s 25 and Oasis’ Be Here Now. 1.7 million physical copies of the LP were picked up on CD and vinyl, while over 428,000 of you downloaded it. The album accumulated 595,000 album equivalent streams across the year, and secured the most first-week streams ever recorded. Another male solo artist secures the year’s second best-seller, Rag’n’Bone Man's Human. Real name Rory Graham, the Sussex-born soul singer has shifted 1 million units of his first LP, which became the fastest-selling debut of the decade by a male soloist in February. Sam Smith secures 2017's third biggest album with The Thrill Of It All. Despite only being released in November, the singer-songwriter's second record has shifted 502,000 across all formats. Also making the Top 5 are Little Mix, who claim the year’s fourth biggest album with Glory Days. Released in November 2016, the album has spawned a further two Top 20 hits in 2017, while a Platinum Edition released last November boosted sales even further. Glory Days rounds out 2017 with a combined sales tally of 468,000 (876,000 in total). While eight British acts feature inside the year-end Top 10, P!nk’s Beautiful Trauma takes the crown as the biggest international artist release of 2017 in the UK, ranking in fifth with sales of 372,000. http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-top-40-biggest-albums-of-2017-on-the-official-chart__21316/ POS TITLE ARTIST PEAK 1 ÷ ED SHEERAN 1 2 HUMAN RAG'N'BONE MAN 1 3 THE THRILL OF IT ALL SAM SMITH 1 4 GLORY DAYS LITTLE MIX 1 5 BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA PINK 1 6 X ED SHEERAN 1 7 TOGETHER AGAIN MICHAEL BALL & ALFIE BOE 1 8 MORE LIFE DRAKE 2 9 AS YOU WERE LIAM GALLAGHER 1 10 GANG SIGNS & PRAYER STORMZY 1 11 A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL ROY ORBISON/RPO 2 12 MOANA MOTION PICTURE CAST RECORDING 7 13 WONDERLAND TAKE THAT 2 14 THE ARCHITECT PALOMA FAITH 1 15 REPUTATION TAYLOR SWIFT 1 16 + ED SHEERAN 1 17 LISTEN WITHOUT PREJUDICE - VOL 1 GEORGE MICHAEL 1 18 25 ADELE 1 19 WHO BUILT THE MOON NOEL GALLAGHER'S HIGH FLYING 1 20 REVIVAL EMINEM 1 21 NAT KING COLE & ME GREGORY PORTER 3 22 HARRY STYLES HARRY STYLES 1 23 TROLLS MOTION PICTURE CAST RECORDING 4 24 CHRISTMAS MICHAEL BUBLE 1 25 24K MAGIC BRUNO MARS 5 26 STARBOY THE WEEKND 5 27 DAMN.
