    As we pass the halfway point in the year, we can finally take a look at the top 40 most popular albums in the UK within the first six months of the year.

    This list comes directly from the Official Charts Company and the figures were calculated compiling digital, physical and streaming sales of all albums included.

    Adele’s 25 reigns supreme, coming in at number one on the list with this album also slipping into the top 30 biggest selling albums in the UK of all time. Blackstar by the late David Bowie slips in at number two. Bowie has five different albums in the top 40, likely due to his passing in January 2016.

    Elvis and Prince have also made it into the top 20 while the likes of One Direction, Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding come behind them with their most recent releases.
