Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical albums. This list shows albums that peaked in the Top 10 of the
UK Albums Chart
during
1968
, as well as albums which peaked in
1967
and
1969
but were in the top 10 in 1968. 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
Val Doonican Rocks, But Gently
by
Val Doonican
. Overall, twelve different albums peaked at number one in 1968, with twelve unique artists hitting that position.
