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 2024, as well as singles which peaked in 2023 and 2025 but were in the top 10 in 2024. 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).

Ninety-nine singles were in the top ten this year. Fourteen singles from 2023 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms, "It Can't Be Christmas" by Tom Grennan and "Underneath the Tree" by Kelly Clarkson were all released in 2024 but did not reach their peak until 2025. "Stick Season" by Noah Kahan, "Merry Christmas" by Ed Sheeran and Elton John and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Bublé were the songs from 2023 to reach their peak in 2024. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee was released in 2023 and re-entered the top 10 in 2024, but did not reach its peak until 2025. Teddy Swims, Benson Boone, Artemas, Dasha, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Gracie Abrams were among the many artists who achieved their first top 10 single in 2024.

Country music dominated the UK Singles Chart during the first half of 2024, with an unprecedented seven country music songs entering the top ten in the space of four months, with "Texas Hold 'Em" by Beyoncé and "Please Please Please" by Sabrina Carpenter both reaching number-one.

The 2023 Christmas number-one, "Last Christmas" by Wham!, originally released in 1984, remained at number-one for the first week of 2024. The song later returned to number-one in December 2024, and became the Christmas number-one for the second year in a row. The first new number-one single of the year was "Stick Season" by Noah Kahan. Overall, thirteen different songs peaked at number-one in 2024, with Sabrina Carpenter (3) having the most songs hit that position.

An asterisk (*) in the "Weeks in Top 10" column shows that the song is currently in the top 10.

The song also experienced its best ever streaming week, earning 293,000 weekly streams.[6] "Murder on the Dancefloor" reclaimed its 2001 peak of number 2 the following week, and surpassed the previous week's best for Ellis-Bextor by earning the most one-week streams since its release, with 4.7 million UK streams over the previous seven days.[7]

On 23 February 2024 (29 February 2024, week ending), Beyoncé rose to the top of the UK Singles Chart with "Texas Hold 'Em" after debuting at number 9 the week before. The song became Beyoncé's fifth UK number-one as a solo artist (eighth overall) and her first number-one single in fourteen years, since "Telephone" (a collaboration with Lady Gaga) topped the charts in March 2010.[10] The song initially spent four non-consecutive weeks at the top of the chart, becoming Beyoncé's longest-running UK number-one single to date,[11] before returning to number-one for a fifth non-consecutive week on 5 April 2024 (11 April 2024, week ending), after the album Cowboy Carter debuted at the top of the UK Albums Chart, marking the second time that Beyoncé had secured the UK Chart Double.[12]

Taylor Swift's dominance of the UK Singles Chart continued into 2024. On 26 April 2024 (2 May 2024, week ending), three tracks from her album The Tortured Poets Department debuted inside the top 5 of the chart, including her duet with Post Malone, "Fortnight", which became her fourth UK number-one single, whilst The Tortured Poets Department debuted at number-one in the UK Albums Chart, thus giving Swift her third Chart Double. "Fortnight" also became Malone's first number-one single in almost seven years, since "Rockstar" topped the charts in 2017.[13] On 3 May 2024 (9 May 2024, week ending), a fourth track from The Tortured Poets Department, "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart", entered the top 10 at number 8.[14]

Sabrina Carpenter sets records

On 21 June 2024 (27 June 2024, week ending), Sabrina Carpenter, at 25 years, 1 month and 10 days old, became the youngest female artist to occupy the number one and number two spots in the UK Singles Chart simultaneously, after "Please Please Please" climbed to the top spot whilst her former chart-topper "Espresso" held at the runner-up position. "Please Please Please" was also the UK's most-streamed song of the week, totalling 9.8 million combined streams, whilst "Espresso" came second, with 8.1 million.[17] On 5 July 2024 (11 July 2024, week ending), Carpenter set yet another record by becoming the first-ever female artist to secure three consecutive weeks at number one and number two spots in the UK Singles Chart concurrently. She also became only the second act to achieve this feat after The Beatles, who achieved the same feat on two occasions, managing three consecutive weeks at numbers one and two in 1963 with "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" and again in 1967 with "Hello Goodbye" and Magical Mystery Tour (EP).[18] She extended her record to four consecutive weeks on 12 July 2024 (18 July 2024, week ending), whilst "Please Please Please" was dethroned from the summit and "Espresso" rebounded to number-one for a sixth non-consecutive week,[19] then set another record on 19 July 2024 (25 July 2024, week ending), when she became the first-ever female artist to occupy the top two spots of the UK chart for five consecutive weeks, and only the second to ever do so, after Ed Sheeran.[20]

On 30 August 2024 (5 September 2024, week ending), Carpenter made history yet again by becoming the first-ever female artist to occupy the entire top three of the UK Singles Chart, after "Taste" debuted at number-one, becoming her third consecutive chart-topper, whilst "Please Please Please" and "Espresso" climbed back to numbers two and three, respectively. Carpenter also earned her first UK Chart Double as the parent album Short n' Sweet simultaneously debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with 89,000 chart sales, the second highest first week sales for an album in 2024.[21] Carpenter set yet another record on 6 September 2024 (12 September 2024, week ending), when she became the first female artist ever to occupy the top three spots of the chart concurrently for two consecutive weeks.[22] On 20 September 2024 (26 September 2024, week ending), during "Taste"'s fourth week at the top spot, Carpenter made history again by becoming the female solo artist with the most combined weeks at number-one in the UK Singles Chart in a calendar year, with 16 in total,[23] eventually extending her record to 21.[24]

On 9 August 2024 (15 August 2024, week ending), Charli XCX debuted at the top of the UK Singles Chart with "Guess" which became her second UK number-one single, and first in eleven years since "I Love It" (with Icona Pop) reached the summit in 2013.

On 13 December 2024 (19 December 2024, week ending), Wham!'s "Last Christmas" returned to number-one in the UK Singles Chart for an eighth non-consecutive week, 40 years after its initial release. The song had previously topped the chart in 2020 (for one week), 2022 (for two non-consecutive weeks), and 2023 (for four consecutive weeks) and had claimed the coveted Christmas number-one spot for the first time in its history on 22 December 2023 (28 December 2023, week ending).[29] The following week, the song claimed the Christmas number-one spot for the second year in a row, and became the first-ever single in the chart's 72-year history to clinch two consecutive Christmas number-one victories.[30]
