Though album sales tend to produce more revenue and, over time, act as a greater measure of an artist's success, this chart receives less media attention than the <a href="/wiki/UK_Singles_Chart" class="mw-redirect" title="UK Singles Chart">UK Singles Chart</a>, because overall sales of an album are more important than its peak position. 2005 saw a record number of artist album sales with 126.2 million sold in the UK.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> In February 2015, it was announced that due to the falling sales of albums and rise in popularity of audio streaming, the Official Albums Chart would begin including streaming data from March 2015.<a href="#cite_note-streaming-1">[1]</a> Under the revised methodology, the Official Charts Company takes the 12 most streamed tracks from one album, with the top-two songs being down-weighted in line with the average of the rest.

By most weeks at number one, the Beatles lead with a total of 176 weeks, and the most number one albums of all with 16.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> Robbie Williams is the solo artist with the most number one albums with 15 as of January 2025, when his soundtrack album to <a href="/wiki/Better_Man_(film)" title="Better Man (film)">Better Man</a> was released, despite the film itself being a notorious box office flop. Equally notable is the fact the album spent only a single week at number one before dropping out of the Top 100 altogether the following week. In third place are <a href="/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones" title="The Rolling Stones">The Rolling Stones</a>, with 14 number ones. Regarding the tally of number ones for some artists, the Official Charts Company has classed re-issues of The Beatles' <a href="/wiki/Abbey_Road" title="Abbey Road">Abbey Road</a>, and The Rolling Stones' <a href="/wiki/Exile_on_Main_Street" class="mw-redirect" title="Exile on Main Street">Exile on Main Street</a> and <a href="/wiki/Goats_Head_Soup" title="Goats Head Soup">Goats Head Soup</a>, as brand new hits/number ones due to the amount of bonus material available, formats released and the fact that the issuing record label had changed.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> As of September 2022, Elvis Presley is still the male solo artist with the most weeks at number one with a total of 66 weeks and most top ten albums by any artist, charting 53 releases.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Until this same month, he also held the record for the most number one albums by a solo artist in a tie with <a href="/wiki/Robbie_Williams" title="Robbie Williams">Robbie Williams</a>, however when Williams' XXV<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> album reached the top on 16 September 2022, the former Take That star broke this record with 14 number ones albums compared to Presley's 13 chart toppers, with Williams moving into second place in the all-time number 1 album record holders. As of January 2025, he is just one album behind The Beatles. <a href="/wiki/Taylor_Swift" title="Taylor Swift">Taylor Swift</a> has the most number one albums by a female artist in the UK, with 13 as of February 2025.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Swift also holds the record for the most consecutive number one albums by a female artist with 9, just one behind <a href="/wiki/Eminem" title="Eminem">Eminem</a> who holds the record for the most consecutive number one albums in Official Albums Chart history with 10.<a href="#cite_note-UK_number_ones-24">[24]</a> <a href="/wiki/Adele" title="Adele">Adele</a> is the female solo artist with the most weeks at number one, with a total of 37 weeks (23 of which were for <a href="/wiki/21_(Adele_album)" title="21 (Adele album)">her second album</a> which is also the most weeks at number one for an album by a female artist).<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> <a href="/wiki/Spice_Girls" title="Spice Girls">Spice Girls</a> are the female group with the most weeks at number one, with a total of 18 weeks (15 of which were for their debut album <a href="/wiki/Spice_(album)" title="Spice (album)">Spice</a>).<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> In July 2021, ABBA's <a href="/wiki/Gold:_Greatest_Hits_(ABBA_album)" class="mw-redirect" title="Gold: Greatest Hits (ABBA album)">Gold: Greatest Hits</a> was officially recognised by the Official Charts Company as the first album to spend over 1000 weeks on the Albums Chart,<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> but this total does not include 2014's Gold – 40th Anniversary Edition (which like Queen's The Platinum Collection is a 3-CD set also including More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits and The Golden B-sides) or additional weeks inside the Top 100 missing from the OCC's database before February 1994 (as with the singles chart, Music Week only published the Top 75 as this was the public chart for store owners to use in their record shops with the Top 150 Artist Albums Chart <a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> being for industry insiders/ChartsPlus subscribers). For many years, The Beatles' <a href="/wiki/Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band" title="Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band">Sgt.

However, Sgt. Pepper still remains the best-selling studio album in UK chart history. Queen's Greatest Hits has sold over 7 million copies (including downloads and equivalent streams) as of July 2022. ABBA's Gold has sold over 6 million, and Sgt. Pepper has sold in excess of 5.4 million copies.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> The longest-running number one album, both consecutively and non-consecutively, is the <a href="/wiki/South_Pacific_(soundtrack)" title="South Pacific (soundtrack)">soundtrack</a> of the film <a href="/wiki/South_Pacific_(1958_film)" title="South Pacific (1958 film)">South Pacific</a>. It had a consecutive run of 70 weeks from November 1958 to March 1960, and had further runs at the top in 1960 and 1961, making a non-consecutive total of 115 weeks.

In August 1971, the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB)<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a> allowed low-priced budget albums to chart as well as standard compilations.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> This decision gave a number one to <a href="/wiki/Music_for_Pleasure_(record_label)" title="Music for Pleasure (record label)">Music For Pleasure's</a> Hot Hits 6, which went straight in at the top of the chart and was joined at number 6 by a new entry for <a href="/wiki/Hallmark_Records" title="Hallmark Records">Hallmark's</a> <a href="/wiki/Top_of_the_Pops_(record_series)" title="Top of the Pops (record series)">Top of the Pops Volume 18</a>, another album featuring a selection of popular tracks performed by session artists in the style of a recent hit (and unconnected with the BBC series of Top of the Pops albums, which would follow in the 1990s). This decision was soon overturned, with these anonymous cover albums being taken out the chart again. On the Official Albums Chart Top 50 for the week ending 18 August 1973, all the compilations listed as 'various artists' albums were taken out of the chart, but those billed as 'official soundtracks' (to films such as <a href="/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange_(film)" title="A Clockwork Orange (film)">A Clockwork Orange</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cabaret_(1972_film)" title="Cabaret (1972 film)">Cabaret</a>) were kept in.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> As the Ronco-released tie-in to the 1973 film <a href="/wiki/That%27ll_Be_the_Day_(film)" title="That'll Be the Day (film)">That'll Be the Day</a> was listed as a various artist album and not as a soundtrack, it disappeared from the chart after its seventh week at number one<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a><a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a><a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a><a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> alongside EMI's former number one Pure Gold<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> and Phillip's 20 Original Chart Hits.
