List of UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart number ones of 2014
The UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart is a record chart which ranks the best-selling rock and heavy metal songs in the United Kingdom.

The first number-one single of the year was "Highway to Hell" by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, which spent the last week of 2013 and the first of 2014 atop the chart.[2][3] The final number-one single of the year was a live version of Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast".[4]
