UK Official Singles Chart - 61 Years of Best-Selling Albums 1952-2017
The best-selling albums in the United Kingdom by year.
Source: http://www.officialcharts.com/galleries/the-biggest-selling-album-of-every-year-since-1956/?15332
Note that this refers to the best-selling album within this year, not throughout the year. This is why the best selling album of the 1990s, Oasis's "What's The Story, Morning Glory?" doesn't appear, not does the top two best-selling albums in British history, "Greatest Hits" by Queen, released in 1981 on Parlophone and "Gold: Greatest Hits" by ABBA released in 1992 on Polydor.
Song credits:
"You Make Me Feel So Young" by Frank Sinatra bookends the video, referencing the first album to top the UK Albums Chart, "Songs for Swinging' Lovers" on Capitol Records.

My intent is to eventually "complete" this when the best selling albums of 2018 and 2019 are revealed, hence the rather awkward 61 years and the "To be Continued..." near the end.
