The UK spent a record £9.05bn ($12bn) on home entertainment in 2020, with more than 80p in every pound going on digital formats, new figures reveal.
The biggest-selling video game was the latest Fifa 21 football game, with more than two million downloads and discs sold.
Disney s Frozen 2 was the most-purchased movie, while Lewis Capaldi topped the 2020 album sales chart.
The Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) published the report.
It included data supplied by the Official Charts Company and the Interactive Software Federation of Europe.
However, it did not reveal the most-streamed television programmes and movies because services such as Netflix, Prime Video and BBC iPlayer do not make the data publicly available.
