Albums Of The Year 2025: 20 To 1

Sabrina Carpenter continues to dominate the UK music scene, having claimed the biggest album of the year. Interestingly, in her wake are a series of retrospective collections from the likes of Oasis, Ed Sheeran and Fleetwood Mac, before Sam Fender makes the list at #6.

Although there are a scattering of 2025 albums in the Top 40, many of the most commercially successful albums of the year were released in previous years. However, as our countdown so far has proven, there are many amazing releases this year.
