This is a summary of the year 2014 in British music charts.
The UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart are two of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC) that calculates the best-selling singles/albums of the week in the United Kingdom.[1] Since 2004 the chart has been based on the sales of both physical singles/albums and digital downloads, with airplay figures excluded from the official chart. From 6 July (chart dated week ending 12 July covering the sales in the first week of July), audio streaming became incorporated into the singles chart which means that a song gets the equivalent of one 'chart sale' if it is streamed 100 times.[2][3] The OCC continues to compile a sales (only) chart and a streaming (only) chart. A total of 38 singles (the most since 2000)[4] and 32 albums have claimed the top spot in 2014.
