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. 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. Since 2014, the singles chart has been based on both sales and streaming, with the ratio altered in 2017 to 150:1 streams and only three singles by the same artist eligible for the chart. From July 2018, video streams from YouTube Music and Spotify among others began to be counted for the Official Charts. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2020, as well as singles which peaked in 2019 but were in the top 10 in 2020. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
  Seventy-six singles have been in the top 10 so far this year. Eleven singles from 2019 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year.
