Lists of UK top-ten singles

Main article: UK Singles Chart

List of UK top-ten singles is a series of lists showing all the singles that have reached the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart in a particular year. Before 1969, there was no single officially recognised chart, but the New Musical Express (1952–1959) and Record Retailer (1960–1969) are considered the canonical source for the data.

Elvis Presley holds the record for the most top 10 singles of all time, followed by Cliff Richard and Madonna.
