This is a summary of 1972 in music in the United Kingdom, including the official charts from that year.

(Covering 15th Jan to 16th Dec 1972)

The list of the top fifty best-selling albums of 1972 were published in Record Mirror at the end of the year, and later reproduced in the first edition of the BPI Year Book in 1976. However, in 2007 the Official Charts Company published album chart histories for each year from 1956 to 1977, researched by historian Sharon Mawer, and included an updated list of the top ten best-selling albums for each year based on the new research. The updated top ten for 1972 is shown in the table below.
