The Official UK World Music Album Charts

The Official UK World Music Album Chart and The Official UK World Music Compilation Album Chart are compiled on a monthly basis from full price and midprice album sales. Only albums released in the two years preceding the release date of each chart are eligible. The Official Charts Company compiles its charts from sales information gathered across all key distribution (or entertainment) channels including all major high street retail chains, independent stores, supermarkets, mail order internet retailers and digital music service providers. This market research sample equates to 98% of the total UK Albums market.

Songlines is delighted to be working with the OCC in publishing exclusively both the UK World Music Album and Compilation Album charts.
