List of UK top-ten singles in 2007

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 2007, as well as singles which peaked in 2006 and 2008 but were in the top 10 in 2007. The entry date is when the single 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 thirty-four singles were in the top ten in 2007. Seven singles from 2006 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by Soulja Boy Tell'em was the only single from 2007 to reach its peak in 2008. Twenty-eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2007. Calvin Harris, Mark Ronson, Mika, OneRepublic and Scouting for Girls were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2007.

New rules were introduced this year to alter how single downloads are counted, with a physical copy no longer having to be currently available in the shops for a single to be eligible for the charts. Snow Patrol were the most high profile act to benefit from the change, with their song "Chasing Cars" returning to the top 10, months after first release the previous year. "Baby's Coming Back"/"Transylvania" by McFly also became only the third single in chart history to fall straight from number-one out of the top ten the following week.

The 2006 Christmas number-one, "A Moment Like This" by 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis, remained at number-one for the first three weeks of 2007. The first new number-one single of the year was "Grace Kelly" by Mika. Overall, eighteen different singles peaked at number-one in 2007, with Leona Lewis Sugababes and Timbaland (2) having the joint most singles hit that position.

Multiple entries
One-hundred and thirty-four singles charted in the top 10 in 2007, with one-hundred and twenty-five singles reaching their peak this year (including the re-entries "All I Want for Christmas is You" and "Fairytale of New York" which charted in previous years but reached peaks on their latest chart run).

Twenty-eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2007. American rapper Akon, fellow countryman producer Timbaland and Lebanon-born British singer Mika shared the position of most top 10 entries in 2007 with four each, although Akon's "Smack That" - a collaboration with Eminem - peaked in 2006. Mika's debut number-one single "Grace Kelly" acted as a breakthrough for the singer, who won the BBC's Sound of 2007 poll, as he went on to record three further top 10 entries during the year ("Love Today", "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" and "Happy Ending").

Akon's other hit solo singles in 2007 included the number three peak "I Wanna Love You" in February and "Don't Matter" which reached the same spot in May. He also featured on the number two single "The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani, just missing out on number-one in March. Timbaland had two number-one singles in 2007: "Give It to Me" featuring Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake in April, followed by "The Way I Are with Keri Hilson in July. His feature on 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology" (also featuring Justin Timberlake) reached number two, and "Apologize" with OneRepublic peaked one spot lower.

Three British acts in the form of Girls Aloud, Mark Ronson and Take That all achieved three top 10 entries in 2007, along with German dance group Cascada and American singer Justin Timberlake. Take That, who only returned unexpectedly as a four-piece in late 2006 following a ten-year hiatus, had a very successful year, as "Shine" was a number-one single and "Rule the World" reached number two behind Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" in October 2007. "Patience" had also reached number-one in 2006 and remained in the top 10 at the beginning of 2007.

Girls Aloud added another number-one to their collection: "Walk This Way", a cover of the Run DMC and Aerosmith song, for Comic Relief with Sugababes. "Sexy! No No No..." peaked at number five in September, while "Call the Shots" ended their year in December, reaching number three. Mark Ronson's "Stop Me" was a number two entry in April. He produced Lily Allen's cover of "Oh My God" originally by Kaiser Chiefs, which reached number eight in July, as well as Amy Winehouse's interpretation of The Zutons' "Valerie", peaking at number two in October.

Dance group Cascada's total included "Truly Madly Deeply" from the end of 2006, when it had peaked at number four. "Miracle" landed at number eight in March and "What Hurts the Most" sneaked into the top 10 in the week before Christmas. Justin Timberlake had one more entry in addition to "Give It to Me" and "Ayo Technology". "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around" made it to number four in March.

Barbadian singer Rihanna was one of a number of artists with two top-ten entries, including number-one single "Umbrella", which stayed at the top of the chart for ten weeks. Avril Lavigne, Calvin Harris, Fedde Le Grand, Gym Class Heroes, Leona Lewis, Mutya Buena, Nelly Furtado and Snow Patrol were among the other artists who had multiple top 10 entries in 2007.

Change to chart rules
The new chart rules regarding downloads, introduced at the start of the year, enabled Scottish/Irish band Snow Patrol to re-enter the top 10 with "Chasing Cars, a song that originally charted in summer 2006, without a physical copy of the record being in the shops at that time.

McFly number-one's rapid drop
"Baby's Coming Back"/"Transylvania" by McFly joined a unique club of singles whose only one week in the top 10 was at number-one. It repeated the feat of "One Night"/"I Got Stung" and "It's Now or Never", both by Elvis Presley, from 2005. It held the record for the sharpest fall from number-one until "A Bridge over You" by Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir (2015) took this over in 2015 - its drop to number 29 was beaten by the charity single, which fell to number 29 after one week at the top of the chart.

Chart debuts
Forty-seven artists achieved their first top 10 single in 2007, either as a lead or featured artist. Of these, five went on to record another hit single that year: Calvin Harris, The Enemy, Groove Armada, Gym Class Heroes and The Hoosiers. Mark Ronson scored two more top 10 singles in 2007. Mika had three other entries in his breakthrough year.

Sharam from the American electronic music duo Deep Dish had his first charting top 10 in his own right when his cover of "Party All the Time" (known as "PATT (Party All the Time)") reached number eight in January 2007. Peter Kay featured on The Proclaimers new version of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" as his Phoenix Nights character Brian Potter. The Comic Relief single went to number-one and also featured Matt Lucas playing Andy Pipkin from Little Britain.
