- 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. Since 2015, the album chart has been based on both sales and streaming. This list shows albums that peaked in the top ten of the UK Albums Chart during 2019, as well as albums which peaked in 2018 and 2020 but were in the top 10 in 2019. 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 seventy-three albums were in the top ten this year. Two albums from 2017 and fifteen albums from 2018 remained in the top ten for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while Heavy Is the Head by Stormzy was released in 2019 but did not reach its peak until 2020. Fine Line by Harry Styles debuted this year but its peak position was not until two years later in 2021. Christmas by Michael Bublé was originally released in 2011, launched a new chart run in 2018, reaching a peak on its latest run in 2019 and again in 2020. 50 Years – Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac and Unchained Melodies by Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra were the albums from 2018 to reach their peak in 2019. Four artists have scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2019, as of 12 September 2019 (week ending). AJ Tracey, Freya Ridings, Khalid, Lewis Capaldi, Sigrid and Tom Walker were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top ten album in 2019. The Greatest Showman Cast's The Greatest Showman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack remained at the top of the chart for the opening four weeks of the year, totalling twenty-eight weeks at number-one since it was released in January 2018. The first new number-one album of the year was Amo by Bring Me the Horizon. Overall, thirty-one different albums peaked at number-one in 2019, with thirty-one unique artists hitting that position.
