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 1974, as well as singles which peaked in 1973 and 1975 but were in the top 10 in 1974. The entry date is when the single appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
  One-hundred and thirty-nine singles were in the top ten in 1974. Ten singles from 1973 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "My Boy" by Elvis Presley, "Streets of London" by Ralph McTell and "Wombling Merry Christmas"/ by The Wombles were all released in 1974 but did not reach their peak until 1975. "The Show Must Go On" by Leo Sayer and "You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me" by The New Seekers featuring Lyn Paul were the singles from 1973 to reach their peak in 1974. Thirty-one artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1974.
context_section_description: The following table shows artists who achieved two or more top 10 entries in 1974, including singles that reached their peak in 1973 or 1975.
