List of UK top-ten albums in 2023

The UK Albums Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling albums of the week in the United Kingdom. Since 2004 the chart has been based on the sales of both physical albums and digital downloads. Since 2015, the album chart has been based on both sales and streaming. This list shows albums that peaked in the top ten of the UK Albums Chart during 2023, as well as albums which peaked in 2022 and 2024 but were in the top 10 in 2023. The entry date is when the album appeared in the top 10 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).

One-hundred and ninety-two albums were in the top 10 this year. Two albums from 2021 and six albums from 2022 remained in the top ten for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while Stick Season by Noah Kahan was released in 2023 but did not reach its peak until 2024. Christmas by Michael Bublé, originally released in 2011, was the only album from 2022 to reach its peak in 2023.

The first new number-one album of the year was Christmas by Michael Bublé. Overall, forty-three different albums peaked at number-one in 2023, with Damon Albarn, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift (2) having the joint most albums hit that position.

An asterisk (*) in the "Weeks in Top 10" column shows that the album is currently in the top 10.
