Britain's best-selling single of 2012 is by an Australian -- it's Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," according to The Official Charts Company.   The track spent five weeks at #1 in the U.K. and has sold 1.28 million copies in that country.

Interestingly, out of the nine remaining top 10 best-sellers in the U.K. this past year, most are by artists who aren't British.  Coming in at #2 for the year is "Call Me Maybe," by Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen , followed by fun.'s "We Are Young" at #3.   The fourth biggest seller is by a Frenchman and an Australian: "Titanium," by David Guetta featuring Sia .

The only two British artist to make the top 10 are Jessie J , with "Domino," and Scottish soul singer Emeli Sande [emily sanday], who's in at #10 with "Next to Me." 

The Official Charts Company says the list may change, though, as the end of the year draws to a close.  In the U.K., there is usually a flurry of singles sales around Christmas, as a bevy of songs vie for the prestigious "Christmas #1" title.
