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. In 2010, 52 charts were published with ten albums at number one. The first number-one album of the year was Michael Bublé's fifth studio album Call Me Irresponsible, spending its 49th week overall at number one. The last number-one album of the year was Seasons of My Soul, the debut album by singer-songwriter Rumer, which spent the last eight weeks of the year atop the chart.
The most successful album on the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart in 2010 was Call Me Irresponsible, which spent a total of 28 weeks at number one over the course of six separate spells (including ten- and nine-week runs). Seasons of My Soul was the second most successful album of the year with eight weeks at number one, although Seasick Steve spent a total of nine weeks at number one with three different albums: I Started Out with Nothin and I Still Got Most of It Left (one week), Man from Another Time (four weeks), and Songs for Elisabeth (four weeks).
