context_page_description: The UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart is a record chart which ranks the best-selling rock and heavy metal songs in the United Kingdom. Compiled and published by the Official Charts Company, the data is based on each track's weekly physical sales, digital downloads and streams. In 2008, there were ten singles that topped the 52 published charts. The first number-one single of the year was "Long Road to Ruin" by American alternative rock band Foo Fighters, which spent the last three weeks of 2007 and the first of 2008 atop the chart. The final number-one single of the year was "All Summer Long" by American country rock musician Kid Rock.
  The most successful song on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart in 2008 was "Rockstar" by Canadian band Nickelback, which spent 23 weeks at number one during the year, including a single run of 20 consecutive weeks.
