These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2015. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday with the chart-date given as the following Thursday. Chart positions are based the multi-metric consumption of country music in the United Kingdom, blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums. The chart contains 20 positions.
In the iteration of the chart dated 4 January, 747 by Lady Antebellum was at number one, having returned there in the last week of 2014. The album would remain at the top spot for another week, and returned in February for its ninth total week at number one. On 8 March, British duo The Shires charted at the peak with their debut album Brave and remained there for ten consecutive weeks. They would return to the top spot several times over the year, spending a minimum of four consecutive weeks there each time, and ultimately spent thirty three weeks at number one. Kacey Musgraves also spent four consecutive weeks at the chart summit with her second album Pageant Material. Carrie Underwood's Storyteller became her fourth UK country number one, and spent two nonconsecutive weeks in the top spot in October and December. Likewise, Hair Down To My Grass became Hayseed Dixie's fourth number one on the chart when it spent two consecutive weeks in January, while Steve Earle's Terraplane held the top spot for two weeks in February/March, becoming his eighth number one.
