List of UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2024

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2024. 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 5 January, Taylor Swift's re-recording of her 2008 album Fearless spent its 37th non-consecutive week at number one, and remained in the top spot for the first four weeks of the year, before being displaced by Sarah Jarosz's seventh album Polaroid Lovers. Swift then returned to number one for one week, and was followed by Chains & Stakes by The Dead South, which spent two consecutive weeks at number one. Kacey Musgraves' Deeper Well also spent two consecutive weeks at number one after premiering on the chart on 22 March. Immediately following its release, Cowboy Carter by Beyoncé debuted in the top spot on 5 April and became the first album by an African American woman to reach number one on the UK Country Albums Chart, remaining at number one for eleven consecutive weeks before eventually being overtaken by Luke Combs' fifth album Fathers & Sons and then Songwriter, the fifth posthumous album by Johnny Cash and his seventh UK number one overall. Swift then reclaimed the top spot for another two weeks before Orville Peck and Post Malone topped the charts for two weeks each with Stampede and F-1 Trillion respectively. Malone would return to number one for an additional three weeks throughout the rest of the year, separated by multi-week chart toppers by Jelly Roll and Kelsea Ballerini, and Willie Nelson's 76th album Last Leaf on the Tree, his seventh UK number one. Swift returned to and held the top spot for the final three weeks of the 2024.
