This is a summary of the year 2015 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 and albums of the week in the United Kingdom.^[1] Since 2004, the charts have been based on the sales of both physical singles and albums and digital downloads. Since 2014, the singles chart has been based on both sales and streaming. From 1 March (week ending 7 March), audio streaming became incorporated into the albums chart. A total of 24 singles and 39 albums have claimed the top spot in 2015.

From Friday 10 July, the chart week changed from Sunday–Saturday to Friday–Thursday, with the first chart covering Sunday 5 July to Thursday 9 July. This chart move is to align the chart week with the new Global Release Day (Friday) for music.^[2][3]

Number one artists

In the singles chart, Mark Ronson returned to the top of the charts for a further 6 weeks, having reached number 1 in 2014 with "Uptown Funk", taking its total to 7 weeks, the longest run since Leona Lewis — "Bleeding Love" from 2007. Years & Years, Jess Glynne, Wiz Khalifa, OMI, Lost Frequencies, David Zowie, Charlie Puth, Rachel Platten, Justin Bieber, Sigala, KDA and NHS Choir have all claimed their first number 1 single as a lead artist.

In the albums chart, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and Sam Smith returned to the top of the charts, having reached number 1 in 2014 with x, Wanted on Voyage and In the Lonely Hour. Mark Ronson, Meghan Trainor, Imagine Dragons, Kendrick Lamar, James Bay, All Time Low, Josh Groban, Years & Years, The Maccabees, Dr. Dre, Cilla Black, Jess Glynne, The Weeknd, Jamie Lawson and 5 Seconds of Summer have all claimed their first number 1 album.

Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars — "Uptown Funk" has spent the most weeks at number 1 in the singles chart with six and Adele — 25 has spent the most weeks at number 1 in the albums chart with five.

Jess Glynne scored three UK number 1 singles this year. Having had two from last year, she shares a record with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as a British woman with the most UK number 1 singles.
