A report came out recently that for the first time more than 50% of the Shueisha's manga sales were digital copies. However the other publishers have not released their digital sales figures & the full picture of manga sales in Japan is still unclear.
But imo it is safe to assume that Blue Lock is safe at the 1st position. Which is historic for the industry. This is the first time a non shueisha manga reached the top place in yearly rankings

Oricon · Japan
"Officially" Angel Next is the best-selling light novel of the year, but Oricon categorize My Happy Marriage as book/novel not LN. So if we consider it as a LN then it is the best selling LN of the year but a large margin
