Most consecutive No.1 albums (UK)

Led Zeppelin (UK) and ABBA (Sweden) share the record for the most successive UK No.1 albums with eight apiece. The former’s chart-topping run began with Led Zeppelin II in February 1970 and concluded with In Through the Out Door – recorded at ABBA’s Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden – in September 1979. ABBA, the world’s best-selling non-American/non-British act of all time, first ascended to No.1 with their Greatest Hits collection in May 1976 and scored their eighth consecutive chart-topper with The Singles – The First Ten Years in November 1982.
