Top 10 bestselling 2014 albums all British.

The BBC are reporting this as a good news story, but could it not also be seen as a sign of us becoming parochial and insular in our music tastes? |

Interesting that nine out of those ten albums are from male artists. A few years ago it seemed that the music industry was dominated by women (Florence, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Marina, Pixie Lott etc) but the boys really have dominated 2014 it seems.

Seems a bit reactionary to suspect jingoism. There are other more likely factors. Two significant ones being that there has been domestic output that has widely appealed to the British public this year and the other being timing.

Paloma is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Her album is so far ahead that the rest of the top 10. So happy to see her so high. |

Only on DS could someone make a good news story sound like it's bad.

None of them are dance albums either.
A few years ago, I don't think that would have been the case |
