The Official Charts Company has released figures for 2018’s most popular albums and singles, and The Greatest Showman OST has come out on top.
The worldwide musical phenomenon bested competition from George Ezra, Post Malone and Dua Lipa to take the number one album spot, no doubt thanks to relentless radio rotation and a plus £50M take at the UK Box Office.
