In 2020, it was only just the top killer in England at 69,000.
Even the Flu/Pneumonia came in at 6th, killing almost 19,000.
The population of England was about 56.5 million in mid 2020, making covid deaths about 0.12%.

There are no final figures for 2021, but given the total covid deaths is about 172,000, that makes 103,000 in 2021.
That matches quite well with 2020, since the 69,000 were mostly from mid March 2020 onwards, i.e. about 9.5 months.
The majority of 2021 deaths were also in the first 3 months.
