context_page_description: 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 1993, as well as singles which peaked in 1992 and 1994 but were in the top 10 in 1993. The entry date is when the single appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
  One-hundred and thirty-six singles were in the top ten in 1993. Ten singles from 1992 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "Twist and Shout" by Chaka Demus & Pliers, "The Perfect Year" by Dina Carroll and "It's Alright" by East 17 were all released in 1993 but did not reach their peak until 1994. "Could It Be Magic" by Take That was the only single from 1992 to reach its peak in 1993. Thirty-one artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1993. Ace of Base, Eternal, Gabrielle, Radiohead and Shaggy were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 1993.

  The 1992 Christmas number-one, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, remained at number-one for the first six weeks of 1993. The first new number-one single of the year was "No Limit" by 2 Unlimited. Overall, fifteen different singles peaked at number-one in 1993, with Take That (3) having the most singles hit that position.
caption: Swedish band Ace of Base (pictured in 2010) reached number-one in May 1993 with their debut UK hit, "All That She Wants", which spent three weeks at the top spot and lasted 10 weeks in the top 10. It became the third best selling single in Britain this year.
