BPIBritish acts secure record share of world market.
Adele and One Direction lead the UK’s global surge.
Brit claim the world’s No.1 selling album for fifth time in six years.
US invasion in 2012 – four British albums in American Top 5. 
Five of the top ten biggest global sellers of 2012 were by British artists.
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, today hailed the phenomenal global success of British music as new BPI figures revealed big-selling albums by Adele, Emeli Sandé, One Direction and Ed Sheeran boosted UK artists’ share of album sales globally to 13.3% in 2012, the highest on record.

Building on 2011’s global artist album share of 12.6%, British acts have now claimed the world’s top-selling album for five of the last six years.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, welcomed the figures saying,

“We should be extremely proud of how our world-leading music industry continues to go from strength to strength, with a record share of the global market and with British acts having the world’s top selling album for five of the last six years. British music is enjoyed across the world and we will keep backing our creative industries that support jobs, create opportunities and contribute to the economy.”

Geoff Taylor, BPI Chief Executive, said,

“Music is fundamental to Britain’s identity as a nation and the world is singing with us.  Led by Adele’s 21, the global top-seller for the second year running, our artists are having hits all around the world.  From One Direction’s sensational, record-breaking US achievements, global smash albums from Muse and Mumford & Sons and breakthrough debuts for Emeli Sandé and Ed Sheeran, our musicians and labels are doing us proud.” 

“As music goes digital, Britain has the potential to be even more successful, connecting instantly with fans who love our music wherever they may live.  The time is right for Government to back innovative businesses like music that can lead the economy back to growth”.

BPI Chairman Tony Wadsworth added,

“British music continues to be global export success story.  It puts Britain on the map, culturally and economically, generating jobs both at home and abroad.  We’ve built on a strong musical heritage to cement our position as a creative powerhouse with enormous potential for growth in the digital age.  It remains important that Government supports our creative industries to give us every opportunity to compete on the world stage.”

For a second consecutive year, Adele’s 21 was the top-selling album in the world with over 26m sales to date.  21 was the biggest seller of 2012 in many of the world’s biggest music markets, including the USA, Canada, France and The Netherlands.  

Global hit albums from One Direction, Emeli Sandé, Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons also confirmed Britain’s proud record of developing and breaking talent on the world stage.  One Direction smashed records Stateside in 2012, becoming the first UK group to have their debut album enter the US chart at No.1.  Both 1D albums – Up All Night and Take Me Home – made the global year-end top five.

Two debut albums, Emeli Sandé’s Our Version Of Events and Ed Sheeran’s +, also featured in the global top 20.  Strong worldwide sales were also achieved by albums from established British acts including Coldplay, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin and Muse.

In the USA – the world’s most competitive music market – British music staged something of an invasion, accounting for one in seven (13.7%) of artist albums sold in 2012, their biggest share on record.  Adele, One Direction’s two titles and Mumford & Sons claimed four of the five biggest-selling artist albums.

British bands continued to do well at home, taking a 51.9% albums share, seven of the top ten selling artist albums of 2012 and the entire top three.  Emeli Sandé’s Our Version Of Events was the biggest seller of 2012, ending the year with 1.4m copies sold.  Adele’s 21 ended 2012 in second place, with + by Ed Sheeran finishing at No.3.

UK artists increased their share of the French albums market to 18.3% – the highest since 2003 – with top 40 year-end placings from Adele, Muse, and Coldplay alongside breakthrough artists Birdy, One Direction and Emeli Sandé.  Another European success story was the Netherlands, where one in four album sales (26.3%) were by British acts in 2012.  This included an impressive one-two from Adele (21 and Live At The Royal Albert Hall) and debut artist Birdy.

Digital sales continue to lose the big year-over-year gains they posted early in 2013. Both US track and digital album sales have fallen nearly every week through May 26th, according to Billboard analysis of Nielsen SoundScan data. Exactly what is behind the declines is up for debate.

The big gain won by digital album sales in January evaporated within two months. A 16.2% year-over-year increase in the first four weeks of the year had turned into a 10.4% decline by the first quarter. Digital album sales had a 7.9% gain in the week ending May 26th.
