The UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart is a record chart which ranks the best-selling jazz and blues albums in the United Kingdom. Compiled and published by the Official Charts Company, the data is based on each album's weekly physical sales, digital downloads and streams.[1] In 1995, 53 charts were published with 15 albums at number one. The first number-one album of the year was We Have All the Time in the World, a compilation by Louis Armstrong, which spent the first seven weeks of 1995 atop the chart.[2] The last number-one of the year was the EMI various artists compilation That's Jazz, which topped the chart from 19 November until the end of the year – also a period of seven weeks.[3]
The most successful album on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart in 1995 was the Columbia various artists compilation Mundo Latino, which spent eight weeks atop the chart between June and August.[4] The seven-week spells of We Have All the Time in the World and That's Jazz were matched by Glenn Miller's The Lost Recordings, which topped the chart on four separate occasions during 1995, first reaching number one on 19 February.[5] The Blue Note collection Best of Blue Note Sampler spent five weeks at number one during 1995.[6] Gary Moore spent six weeks at number one, with two different releases topping the chart for three weeks each – Ballads & Blues 1982–1994 and Blues for Greeny.[7][8]
