- 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. 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 2007, as well as albums which peaked in 2006 and 2008 but were in the top 10 in 2007. 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-four albums were in the top ten this year. Eighteen albums from 2006 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while Back to Black: Deluxe Edition by Amy Winehouse, Raising Sand by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and This Is the Life by Amy Macdonald were both released in 2007 but did not reach their peak until 2008. Back to Black by Amy Winehouse and Loose by Nelly Furtado were the albums from 2006 to reach their peak in 2007. Seven artist scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2007. Fall Out Boy, Leona Lewis, Mark Ronson, Ne-Yo and Timbaland were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 album in 2007. The 2006 Christmas number-one album, Beautiful World by Take That, remained at the top spot for the first two weeks of 2007. The first new number-one album of the year was Back to Black by Amy Winehouse. Overall, thirty-three different albums peaked at number-one in 2007, with thirty-three unique artists hitting that position. (en)
