context_page_description: 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. This list shows albums that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart during 2004, as well as albums which peaked in 2003 and 2005 but were in the top 10 in 2004. The entry date is when the album appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
  One-hundred and thirty-four albums were in the top ten this year. Thirteen albums from 2003 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while Hot Fuss by The Killers and Love Songs: A Compilation… Old and New by Phil Collins were both released in 2004 but did not reach their peak until 2005. Elephunk by The Black Eyed Peas and Twentysomething by Jamie Cullum were the albums from 2003 to reach their peak in 2004. Eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2004. Dizzee Rascal, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, McFly and Scissor Sisters were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 album in 2004.
