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.[1] [2] [3] Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical albums. This list shows albums that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart during 1993, as well as albums which peaked in 1992 and 1994 but were in the top 10 in 1993. The entry date is when the album appeared in the top ten for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).
The first new number-one album of the year was Live – The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs by Genesis. Overall, twenty-four different albums peaked at number-one in 1993, with twenty-four unique artists hitting that position.
