From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2025. 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 re-recording of her 2008 album Fearless spent its 52nd non-consecutive week at number one, and remained in the top spot the following week before being displaced by Look Up, the first country album by Ringo Starr, which remained there for three weeks. Bonnie Prince Billy's The Purple Bird then spent two weeks atop the chart before Starr returned for an additional two weeks and was then replaced by Kip Moore's Solitary Tracks, his second number one album. Following her headlining performance at the C2C: Country to Country festival, Whirlwind by Lainey Wilson returned to number one for a second and third week, after last hitting the top spot in September 2024. Arcadia by Alison Krauss & Union Station, Krauss' sixth UK number one, then claimed the chart peak for three consecutive weeks before being replaced by Send a Prayer My Way, a collaborative project by indie singer-songwriters Julien Baker and Torres. Oh What a Beautiful World became Willie Nelson's eighth chart topper on the chart dated 9 May. I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen spent three weeks at the top spot, also debuting at number one on the all-genre UK Albums Chart, a rare feat for a country album, before being replaced by Mary Chapin Carpenter's Personal History for three weeks. Following his appearance at the Glastonbury Festival 2025, Shaboozey's Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going reached number one for the first time in its 57th week on the chart. Paul Carrack and Max McNown then each held the top spot for two weeks. Margo Price earned her fourth number one album with Hard Headed Woman on the iteration of the chart dated 12 September, while UK band First Time Flyers achieved their first with debut album Bound to Break on 26 September. Chris Stapleton's 2015 debut album Traveller spent four additional weeks at number one in 2025, bringing its total to ninth non-consecutive weeks atop the chart. In the week of her new album The Life of a Showgirl's release, Taylor Swift's self-titled debut album returned to the top spot on the country chart for its fifth total week at number one and its first time topping the chart since 2009. On the chart dated 26 October, Scottish singer Rianne Downey began a three week stint at number one with her debut album The Consequence of Love, before being displaced by Nelson, who returned to the chart with a new project, Merle Haggard tribute album Workin' Man. Zach Bryan's self-titled second studio album spent the final four weeks of the year in the top spot, its first time at number one despite being released in September 2023.
