The UK Albums Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling albums of the week in the United Kingdom. Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical albums. This list shows albums that peaked in the top ten of the UK Albums Chart during 1982, as well as albums which peaked in 1981 and 1983 but were in the top ten in 1982. The entry date is when the album appeared in the top ten for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced). The first new number-one album of the year was by Love Songs by Barbra Streisand. Overall, fourteen different albums peaked at number one in 1982, with thirteen unique artists and one soundtrack album hitting that position.
