List of UK Albums Chart number ones of the 2000s
The UK Albums Chart is a weekly record chart based on album sales from Sunday to Saturday in the United Kingdom; during the 2000s, a total of 274 different albums by 170 artists reached number one. The chart was compiled weekly by the Official Charts Company (OCC) on behalf of the British music industry—it listed only physical album sales until 2007, after which it also included albums sold digitally. The OCC defined an "album" to be any music release that featured more than four tracks or lasted longer than 25 minutes. Each week's new number one was first announced on Sunday evenings by BBC Radio 1 on their weekly chart show.
The most successful albums during the 2000s were ''Life for Rent'' by Dido and ''Back to Bedlam'' by James Blunt. Released in 2003 and 2004 respectively, each spent ten weeks at number one—''Back to Bedlam'' was also the biggest-selling album of the decade. Dido and Blunt also topped the chart with one other album each. Irish boy band Westlife reached number one with seven different releases, the most of any act. British singer Robbie Williams released six number one albums, which spent a total of 23 weeks on the top of the chart, longer than any other artist—by 2005, Williams had sold more albums during the 2000s than any other act.
The most successful record label during this period was Polydor Records—benefitting from strong sales from artists such as Ronan Keating, Scissor Sisters and Take That, Polydor topped the chart with 13 different albums which spent 33 weeks at number one, longer than any other company. Columbia Records released 17 albums that reached number one, the most of any label; its artists roster featured Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen. In August 2003, ''Magic and Medicine'' by The Coral became the 700th album to top the UK chart—fewer than four years later, ''Not Too Late'' by Norah Jones became the 800th album to do so.
Following its significantly increased popularity in the early 21st century, reality television began to have a significant impact on the British music industry. Of the 274 albums that reached number one in the UK charts, 15 were by artists that had found fame through a reality TV programme. The first such act was Hear'Say, a British pop group formed by the television show ''Popstars''. In March 2001, their debut album ''Popstars'' topped the chart and became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history to that date. The only reality television stars to top the album chart with two different releases were Will Young, the 2002 winner of ''Pop Idol'', Girls Aloud, the girl group formed by the TV series ''Popstars: The Rivals'', and Leona Lewis, the 2006 winner of ''The X Factor''. Like Hear'Say, Lewis's first album ''Spirit'' broke the record for the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history.
