Disney film Frozen has become iTunes’ biggest-selling movie of all time, while the soundtrack has sold more than any other album in the US this year.<\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran’s X was 2014’s best-selling album in the UK, with Pharrell Williams’ Happy the biggest single.<\/p>\n

Sheeran – whose album passed the million sales mark in the UK last week – said he was “absolutely buzzing”.<\/p>\n

Game of Thrones was the best-selling TV show, with John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars iTunes’ top book.<\/p>\n

No figures have been released by iTunes to accompany their charts of the year.<\/p>\n

However, last week the Official Charts Company revealed Sheeran’s album x – pronounced multiply – had become the first to sell a million copies in a calendar year since Emeli Sande’s Our Version Of Events in 2012.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old singer-songwriter was also named Spotify’s most-streamed artist in the world, beating Eminem and Coldplay with more than 860 million streams on the service.<\/p>\n

‘Incredible year’<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Wolf of Wall Street was the second biggest film of the year on iTunes.<\/p>\n

The download service also revealed several ‘editorial picks’, naming Sam Smith UK and Ireland best artist after In the Lonely Hour proved the year’s second biggest album.<\/p>\n

Smith called the accolade “an honour”, adding: “I’m going to have a drink now.”<\/p>\n

Clean Bandit’s track Rather Be featuring Jess Glynne was named the UK’s best song, after the band scored the second biggest-selling single of the year on iTunes.<\/p>\n

“Thank you so much to everyone who bought it and supported us,” said a statement from the band.<\/p>\n

“2014 has been an incredible year. Happy Christmas to one and all.”<\/p>\n

X Factor finalist Fleur East currently holds the number one spot on the iTunes singles chart, after her performance of Uptown Funk during Saturday night’s semi-final proved a hit with fans.<\/p>\n

She covered the little-known tune, by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, which will feature on Ronson’s upcoming album Uptown Special next year.<\/p>\n
