This list shows albums that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart during 2017, as well as albums which peaked in 2016 and 2018 but were in the top 10 in 2017. The entry date is when the album appeared in the top 10 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced). One-hundred and ninety-five albums were in the top 10 this year. One album from 2015 and twelve albums from 2016 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year.
