The UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart is a record chart which ranks the best-selling rock and heavy metal songs in the United Kingdom. Compiled and published by the Official Charts Company, the data is based on each track's weekly physical sales and digital downloads . The first number one of the year was "Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)" by The Darkness. All but five weeks of the year were dominated by "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, with "People" by The 1975 being the only new release to top the chart.
