Most of the world numbers weeks according to the ISO 8601 standard. A week starts on Monday, and week 1 is the week that contains the first Thursday of the year, which is always the week that contains 4 January.
Week 1 of 4826 starts on December 29, 4825 and ends on January 4, 4826 (ISO 8601, Monday to Sunday). 4826 has 53 ISO weeks, because 1 January 4826 falls on a Thursday.
Because of this rule, the first days of January can belong to the last week of the previous year, and the last days of December can belong to week 1 of the next year.
In the United States, weeks usually start on Sunday and week 1 is the week that contains 1 January, so the US week number can differ from the ISO week number.
