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 2008, 52 charts were published with five albums at number one. Michael Bublé's fifth studio album Call Me Irresponsible was the first number-one album of the year, spending the first 18 weeks atop the chart in the second half of a 36-week run.[2] Seasick Steve's major label debut I Started Out with Nothin and I Still Got Most of It Left was the last number-one album of the year, topping the final 13 charts of 2008.[3]
The most successful album on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart in 2008 was Call Me Irresponsible, which spent a total of 28 weeks at the top of the chart.[2] I Started Out with Nothin and I Still Got Most of It Left was the second most successful of the year with 13 weeks at number one,[3] while Amy Winehouse's debut album Frank spent seven weeks at the top of the chart over three separate spells.[4] The Jazz FM various artists compilation The Very Best of Smooth Jazz was the only other release to spend more than a single week at number one, with three weeks in the summer at number one.[5] Call Me Irresponsible finished 2008 as the 27th best-selling album of the year in the UK.[6]
