  • The UK Album Chart is a weekly record chart which for most of its history was based on album sales from Sunday to Saturday in the United Kingdom. Since July 2014 it has also incorporated streaming data, and from 10 July 2015 has been based on a Friday to Thursday week. The chart was founded in 1956 and began with just a top 5 being unveiled; this was extended to a top 10 from November 1958 onwards. The first album to top the chart was Songs for Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra. The sources, in accordance with the official canon of the Official Charts Company, are the Melody Maker chart from 1956 to 1960; the Record Retailer chart from 1960 to 1969; and the Official UK Albums Chart from 1969 onwards. This list shows the artists who have had the most top-ten albums on the UK Albums Chart, as of 31 December 2020 (week ending). Paul McCartney holds the record for most top 10 albums with 62, having first entered the chart in Please Please Me as part of The Beatles. His most recent entry was in 2020, the solo album McCartney III. Elvis Presley is in second place with his total including 17 top ten studio albums since his final studio album, Moody Blue, was released in 1977. His UK chart rival in the late-1950s and early-1960s, Cliff Richard, comes in third. McCartney's bandmate, John Lennon, has the fourth most entries of all time in the top 10. Albums by "Various Artists" are excluded from this list because they all feature different acts under that banner. As of March 2022, Feeder are the latest addition to the list when their 11th studio album “Torpedo” made No.5. They are the only act on the list without a week at No.1 and have the least number of weeks in the top 10 with thirteen. They were however inducted into Kerrang!’s “Hall of Fame” in August 2019. (en)
