Harry Styles' album Harry's House and Top Gun Maverick starring Tom Cruise helped drive record sales in the entertainment industry last year.

The total spent on home entertainment last year, including gaming, was £11.1bn - 6.9% up on 2021 and 39% up on the last pre-pandemic year of 2019.The digital entertainment and retail association said its preliminary figures were "a huge vote of confidence" for the sector. "Few would have believed we would retain the huge bounce in revenues seen when the Covid lockdown kept people at home," he said.Tom Cruise's sequel to 1986's Top Gun was the biggest-selling video title of 2022, although more than 800,000 of the 1.1 million sales were from "electronic sell-through" or downloads, the ERA said.
