This is a summary of the year 2014 in British music charts.

The UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart are two of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC) that calculates the best-selling singles/albums of the week in the United Kingdom.{{cite web|url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/ |title=The Official UK Charts Company |publisher=Official Charts Company |accessdate=1 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216021132/http://www.theofficialcharts.com/ |archivedate=16 December 2008 }} Since 2004 the chart has been based on the sales of both physical singles/albums and digital downloads, with airplay figures excluded from the official chart. From 6 July (chart dated week ending 12 July covering the sales in the first week of July), audio streaming became incorporated into the singles chart which means that a song gets the equivalent of one 'chart sale' if it is streamed 100 times.{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/streaming-and-the-official-singles-chart-everything-you-need-to-know-3109/|title=Streaming and the Official Singles Chart: Everything you need to know!|last=lane|first=Daniel|date=23 June 2014|publisher=Official Charts Company|accessdate=25 July 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/infographic-the-growth-of-music-streaming-in-the-uk-3108/|title=Infographic: The growth of music streaiming in the UK|last=Lane|first=Daniel|date=23 June 2014|publisher=Official Charts Company|accessdate=25 July 2014}} The OCC continues to compile a sales (only) chart and a streaming (only) chart. A total of 38 singles (the most since 2000){{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/2014-revealed-as-the-year-of-the-debut-chart-smash-3384/|title=2014 revealed as the year of the debut chart smash|first=Lauren|last=Kreisler|date=30 December 2014|publisher=Official Charts Company}} and 32 albums have claimed the top spot in 2014.

Notable events and records

"Happy" by Pharrell Williams became the first song released in the 2010s to be certified triple platinum based on sales of more than 1.55 million and 25 million streams by July.{{cite news|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a586231/pharrell-williams-single-happy-goes-triple-platinum.html|title=Pharrell Williams single 'Happy' goes triple platinum|last=Davidson|first=Amy|date=24 July 2014|work=Digital Spy|publisher=Hearst Magazines UK|accessdate=25 July 2014}} With "Happy", Williams is the only act apart from The Beatles to achieve three million-selling singles in a 12-month period.{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/unstoppable-pharrell-scores-chart-record-hat-trick-as-happy-smashes-a-million-2790/|title=Unstoppable Pharrell scores chart record hat-trick as Happy smashes a|publisher=Official Charts Company|date=2 March 2014|first=Justin|last=Myers|accessdate=3 October 2014}} "Happy" also became only the third single in chart history, and the first for over 50 years, to return to number 1 more than once.

Cheryl broke the record for the most number one singles for a British female solo artist on 2 November with the release of "I Don't Care". The single sold over 82,000 copies in its first week and gave Cheryl her fifth UK number one. The record was previously jointly held by Rita Ora and Geri Halliwell.

"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor became the first single ever to reach the top 40 on streams alone.{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/meghan-trainors-all-about-that-bass-becomes-first-song-to-chart-on-streams-alone-3158/|title=Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass becomes first song to chart on st|publisher=Official Charts Company|first=Lauren|last=Kreisler|accessdate=29 September 2014|date=28 September 2014}}

"Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran broke a record for the longest climb to number 1 within the top 40, having taken 19 weeks to reach the summit.{{Cite web |url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ed-sheerans-thinking-out-loud-breaks-chart-record-for-longest-climb-to-number-1-3256/ |title = Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud breaks chart record for longest climb t |access-date=2 November 2014 |archive-date=2 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102212820/http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ed-sheerans-thinking-out-loud-breaks-chart-record-for-longest-climb-to-number-1-3256/ |url-status=dead }} On its return to number 1 on 13 December, it became the first song ever to peak at number 1 due to streaming, having sold less than the number 2.

The top 10 best-selling albums of the year were all by British artists.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30641372 UK album chart for 2014 dominated by British artists]
