List of UK top-ten singles in 2010

The UK Singles Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom.[1] Since 2004 the chart has been based on the sales of both physical singles and digital downloads, with airplay figures excluded from the official chart.[2][3] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2010, as well as singles which peaked in 2009 and 2011 but were in the top 10 in 2010. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 10 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).

Rihanna had the biggest selling single of 2010, "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem, which peaked at number 2. It was one of six top 10 hits for Rihanna during the year, including number-ones "Only Girl (In the World)" and "What's My Name?" (which topped the chart in January 2011).
X Factor winner Matt Cardle covered Biffy Clyro's "Many of Horror" under the new title "When We Collide" and it became the second best-selling song of the year and the Christmas number-one.

One-hundred and fifty-two singles were in the top ten in 2010. Nine singles from 2009 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "What's My Name?" by Rihanna featuring Drake" and "Who's That Chick?" by David Guetta featuring Rihanna were both released in 2010 but did not reach their peak until 2011.. "TiK ToK" by Kesha, "Starstrukk" by 3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, "Look for Me" by Chipmunk featuring Talay Riley, "The Climb" by Joe McElderry and "3 Words" by Cheryl Cole featuring will.i.am were the singles from 2009 to reach their peak in 2010. Forty-six artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2010. Ellie Goulding, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Tinie Tempah and The Wanted were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2010.

The first number-one single of the year was "The Climb" by X Factor series 6 winner Joe McElderry. Overall, thirty-five different singles peaked at number-one in 2010, with JLS (3, including the charity single "Everybody Hurts" with Helping Haiti) having the most singles hit that position.

Notes

Although Jedward scored their first top 10 hit in 2010 with "Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)" they were part of The X Factor series 6 finalists, who reached number-one with "You Are Not Alone". Olly Murs, who also featured on this single, had his first two top 10 entries in his own right, namely debut "Please Don't Let Me Go" and "Thinking of Me". Diana Vickers peaked at number one with "Once" in 2010 but had appeared on The X Factor in 2008 and, along with her fellow contestants, landed the top spot that same year with their cover of Mariah Carey's "Hero".

McLean had his first solo hit single, "Your Name", this year but he had a previous chart credit on "I Got Soul" with Young Soul Rebels. Matt Cardle sang on "Heroes" with his fellow X Factor series seven contestants prior to his debut solo hit "When We Collide". Cher Lloyd, One Direction and Olly Murs would both go on to record top 10 singles in later years.

Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes had his first independent top 10 hit, collaborating with B.o.B. on "Billionaire". Brandon Flowers had multiple top 10 singles as part of The Killers and achieved the first under his own name in 2010 with "Crossfire", reaching a number 8 peak.

Songs from films

Original songs from various films entered the top 10 throughout the year. These included "We Dance On" (from StreetDance 3D) and "Club Can't Handle Me" (Step Up 3D).

Best-selling singles

Eminem featuring Rihanna had the best-selling single of the year with "Love the Way You Lie". The song spent fourteen weeks in the top 10 (peaking at number two), sold over 854,000 copies and was certified platinum by the BPI. "When We Collide" by Matt Cardle came in second place, selling more than 814,000 copies and losing out by around 40,000 sales. Bruno Mars's "Just the Way You Are, "Only Girl in the World" from Rihanna and "OMG" by Usher featuring will.i.am made up the top five. Singles by Owl City, B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams, Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg, Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP and Tinie Tempah were also in the top ten best-selling singles of the year.
