List of UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2017

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2017. 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 6 January, Ward Thomas' second album Cartwheels spent its sixth week at number one, having spent the last two weeks of 2016 in the top spot. The British duo spent the first five weeks of the year at the chart peak, and returned for a further two weeks in mid-February. Beginning on 10 March, Alison Krauss spent seven consecutive weeks at number one with her album Windy City before being displaced by Brad Paisley's Love and War, which spent two weeks in the top spot. Following this, Chris Stapleton charted at number one with From A Room: Volume 1, and charted again later in the year with Volume 2, spending a total of five weeks at number one. Glen Campbell's final studio album Adiós debuted at number one, and remained there for twenty-one weeks, with sales likely being boosted following his death on 8 August. The album was displaced by Margo Price's All American Made, but returned to the peak for the last two weeks of the year. Other artists who spent multiple weeks at number one included Shane Richie, and Zac Brown Band.
