The first number-one album of the year was Muse's fifth studio album The Resistance, which was released the previous year.[2] The first new number-one album of the year was Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, the seventh studio album by Finnish gothic rock band HIM.[3] The final number-one album of the year was the Foo Fighters compilation Greatest Hits, which topped the chart for a total of four weeks over four separate spells in 2010.[4][5][6][7]

The most successful album on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart in 2010 was Muse's 2009 release The Resistance, which spent a total of eleven weeks at number one. Led Zeppelin's 2007 compilation Mothership spent six weeks at number one in 2011, including a three-week run between 30 October and 13 November. AC/DC's Iron Man 2 soundtrack spent five weeks at number one and was the best-selling rock and metal album of the year, ranking 39th in the UK End of Year Albums Chart.[8] Greatest Hits by Foo Fighters and the eponymous debut solo album by guitarist Slash each spent four weeks at number one; Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns and Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare were both number one for three weeks; and Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier spent two weeks at number one in 2010.
