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. [1] 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. [2] [3] 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. [4] [5] 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 2026, as well as singles which peaked in 2025 and 2027 but were in the top 10 in 2026. 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).

Twenty-nine singles have been in the top ten so far this year (as of 5 March 2026, week ending). Seventeen singles from 2025 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year.

On 9 January 2026 (15 January 2026, week ending), "End of Beginning", written and recorded by actor Joe Keery under his stage name of Djo, rose to number-one in the UK Singles Chart, one week after re-entering the top-ten following the premiere of the Stranger Things season 5 finale. Originally released in September 2022 as a track on Keery's album Decide , the song was issued as a single in 2024 after gaining popularity on TikTok, and it had originally peaked at number four in the UK in March of that year.
