Apple has announced its UK iTunes winners for the past year, with Minecraft, Ed Sheeran and Candy Crush Saga all picking up gongs.
The annual iTunes lists go a long way to showcasing just what the public is up to, polling all the data from millions of Apple devices to pick out the big winners.
According to Apple UK, it was Mojang's Minecraft: Pocket Edition that topped the paid app charts in terms of sales on both iPad and iPhone, although Candy Crush was the top grossing on phone and Clash of Clans on tablet with all those micropayments.
