These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2014. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday with the chart-date given as the following Thursday. Chart positions are based the multi-metric consumption of country music in the United Kingdom, blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums. The chart contains 20 positions.
In the iteration of the chart dated 5 January, Kacey Musgraves' debut album Same Trailer Different Park spent its tenth nonconsecutive week at number one, having last reached the top spot in November 2013. It would return to the chart peak in July and September of 2014, spending a total of 12 weeks at number one. Out Among the Stars, a posthumous album from legendary singer-songwriter Johnny Cash following his death in 2013, debuted at number one on the chart on 6 April, and held the position for fifteen consecutive weeks, the most of the year. British duo Ward Thomas spent five weeks at the top spot with their debut album From Where We Stand, before being displaced by Brad Paisley's Mud on the Tires which went on to spend three weeks at the chart summit. Lady Antebellum's 747 and Garth Brooks' comeback album Man Against Machine rounded out the year with six weeks each at number one. Other artists who spent multiple weeks at number one include Sheryl Crow, whose first official country album Feels Like Home held the top spot for three weeks, and Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash, and Tim McGraw each reach the summit for two weeks respectively. The final number one of the year was Lady Antebellum's 747.
