Nearly two-thirds of the combined 4.3m digital and physical sales of The Greatest Showman came from buyers of traditional CDs, Blu-rays and DVDs.
Physical sales of console and PC games shrank slightly, by 2.8% to £770m, while digital income rose 12.5% to £3bn.
The biggest-selling film of the year, by a large margin, was The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, with 2.7m combined digital and physical sales.
