Official Charts unveils definitive chart books covering the last decade - The Tens

Official Charts has completed its definitive series of UK chart books with the release of four new volumes spanning the 2010s.

The four new books are The Official Singles Charts, The Official Albums Charts, The Official Compilations Charts and The Official Tens Hits Book. The first three volumes offer a comprehensive chronological listing of all the charts by week, in this case from January 3 2010 to December 26 2019 - the Compilations book even offers full track-listings for all compilation albums that charted during the decade. The Official Hits is a companion encyclopaedia of all the releases which reached the charts in that decade, listed by artist and packed with chart facts.

Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot said: “Now this series is complete, it provides music fans and chart archivists of all depths of interest the opportunity to delve into music history decade-by-decade. This is THE definitive and indispensable overview of the history of the Official Charts in the UK."
