The UK Albums Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling albums of the week in the United Kingdom.[1][2][3] Since 2004 the chart has been based on the sales of both physical albums and digital downloads. This list shows albums that peaked in the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart during 2014, as well as albums which peaked in 2013 and 2015 but were in the top 10 in 2014. The entry date is when the album appeared in the top 10 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).
One-hundred and fifty-eight albums were in the top ten this year. Two albums from 2012 and sixteen albums from 2013 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while Hozier by Hozier was released in 2014 but did not reach its peak until 2015. Beyoncé by Beyoncé was the only album from 2013 to reach its peak in 2014. Halcyon by Ellie Goulding debuted in 2012 and re-entered the top 10 in 2013, but its peak position was not until 2014. Sam Smith and Ella Henderson were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 album in 2014.
The first new number-one album of the year was Halcyon by Ellie Goulding. Overall, thirty-two different albums peaked at number-one in 2014, with thirty-two unique artists hitting that position.
