# 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. 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. 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).
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.
