List of artists with the most UK singles chart top tens

The UK singles chart is a weekly record chart which for most of its history was based on single sales from Sunday to Saturday in the United Kingdom. The chart was founded in 1952 by Percy Dickins of New Musical Express (NME), who telephoned 20 record stores to record their ten highest-selling singles were. Dickins aggregated the results into a top twelve hit parade. NME's chart was published each week in its eponymous magazine. From 2004, music downloads became included in the chart, and rules were altered in 2006 in order for singles to chart before physical formats were released. Since 2014, it has incorporated music streaming service data, with music video views counted towards the chart from 2018. From 10 July 2015, the chart has been based on a Friday to Thursday week.
