Lists of UK top-ten albums is a series of lists showing all the albums that have reached the top 10 (top 5 in 1956, 1957 and until 8 November 1958) on theUK Albums Chart in a particular year. Before 1969, there was no single officially recognised chart, but theRecord Mirror (from 22 July 1956),Melody Maker (8 November 1958 to March 1960) andRecord Retailer (1960 to 1969) are considered the canonical source for the data.[citation needed]
