From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2010. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday with the chart-date given as the following Thursday. Chart positions are based the multi-metric consumption of country music in the United Kingdom, blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums. The chart contains 20 positions.

In the iteration of the chart dated 3 January, Taylor Swift's Fearless spends its thirty fourth week at number one, and held the top spot for seven consecutive weeks before being displaced by American VI: Ain't No Grave, a posthumous release by Johnny Cash which then spent four weeks at the chart peak. Swift then returned to number one for another five weeks. Following its release, Lady Antebellum's Need You Now debuted atop the chart on 9 May and remained there for twenty six weeks. The band also spent two weeks at number one later in the year when their self-titled debut album returned to the chart. Mary Chapin Carpenter's The Age of Miracles spent four non-consecutive weeks at the chart peak, her third UK number one.
