# List of UK top-ten singles in 1998

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. Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1998, as well as singles which peaked in 1997 and 1999 but were in the top 10 in 1998. 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).
One-hundred and ninety-six singles were in the top ten in 1998. Ten singles from 1997 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)" by Chef and "Heartbeat"/"Tragedy" by Steps were both released in 1998 but did not reach their peak until 1999. "Angels" by Robbie Williams and "Never Ever" by All Saints were the singles from 1997 to reach their peak in 1998. Forty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1998. Steps, B*Witched, Usher, Destiny's Child, Fatboy Slim, The Corrs, Shania Twain, Missy Elliott and Stereophonics were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 1998.
The 1997 Christmas number-one, "Too Much" by Spice Girls, remained at number-one for the first week of 1998. Charity single "Perfect Day" by Various Artists returned to the top spot for an additional week. The first new number-one single of the year was "Never Ever" by All Saints. Overall, thirty-two different singles peaked at number-one in 1998, with All Saints, B*Witched, Boyzone (including the "Perfect Day" charity single) and Mel B (3) having the joint most singles hit that position.

## Background
### Multiple entries

One-hundred and ninety-four singles charted in the top 10 in 1998, with one-hundred and eighty-seven singles reaching their peak this year (including the re-entries "Sit Down" and "You're the One That I Want" which charted in previous years but reached peaks on their latest chart run).
Forty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1998. Two members of Spice Girls - Mel B and Melanie C - shared the record for the most top-ten singles in 1998 with six entries. Five of these singles were with the band, but they also had individual collaborations outside of the band. Mel B reached number one in September with "I Want You Back", which featured American rapper Missy "Missdemeanor" Elliott. Melanie C collaborated with Canadian rock artist Bryan Adams on "When You're Gone", the song peaking at number 3 in December. Three of Spice Girls top ten entries reached number-one: "Too Much" in December 1997, "Viva Forever" in July and "Goodbye" in December 1998. "Stop" peaked at number 2 in March, and they also featured on the England United collective single "(How Does It Feel to Be) On Top of the World" for the FIFA World Cup, which reached number 9.
Seven acts had four singles in the top 10: All Saints, Aqua, Boyzone, Five, Madonna, Robbie Williams and Steps.
Billie was one of a number of artists with three top 10 entries, including the number-one single "Because We Want To". Another Level, Celine Dion, Natalie Imbruglia, Sash! and Will Smith were among the other artists who had multiple top 10 entries in 1998.
