This week, the Official Charts Company and British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE) celebrate 100,000,000 digital downloads since Official Charts records began.

The Charts have been tracking digital downloads of home entertainment titles in 2016. The Official Film Chart with help of  BASE arrived in November 2018, the first weekly chart compiled using both physical and digital sales of films.

This week, UK digital download sales reached 100 million copies sold since Official Chart records began – a landmark moment for home entertainment as it adapts to the ever-changing media landscape. To date in 2021, over 8 million films have been bought on digital download in the UK alone.

To celebrate this remarkable milestone, we’re taking a look at the Top 10 biggest films on digital download since records began and it’s blockbusting family sing-a-longs that have the nation adding to their online shopping baskets.

The Greatest Showman tops the list with 1.1 million digital download sales since its release in 2018. It was the first film to ever reach 500,000 Download & Keep sales, and is now confirmed to be the first – and only – film to surpass the one million mark on the format.

At Number 2 is Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, followed closely behind by Avengers: Endgame – which became the fastest-selling digital film of all time after selling over 335,000 digital downloads in its first week back in 2019. Its predecessor Avengers: Infinity War storms in at Number 4.

Musical films appear to be among the most popular with the UK public, with five of the Top 10 musically influenced: family favourites Moana (5), Frozen 2 (6) and Trolls (7) all make their appearance in the top tier.

Action, adventure and sci-fi sequels are also among the UK’s favourite genre on digital, as the first ever Official Film Chart Number 1, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens land at Number 8 and 9 respectively. 2000 Dr Seuss adaptation The Grinch starring Jim Carrey rounds off the chart at Number 10.
