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.
