The chart can be viewed on the Official Charts Company's website and is released weekly. The archive on the Official Charts Company website goes back to 30 January 1994, with the first listed number one album being K.d. lang's Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, the soundtrack to the film of the same name.

Digital downloads became eligible on the Country Albums chart in June 2009. Prior to that, only vinyl and CD sales were compiled into the chart.

The Official Country Artists Albums Chart contains 20 positions.

Monitored by Radiomonitor and the UK wing of the Country Music Association, chart rankings collate information from a range of participating radio stations to identify the most listened to country music single in the UK each week. The chart itself is posted on Holler Country.
