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. From 6 July 2014, streaming figures became incorporated into the singles chart which means that a song will count as a sale, if streamed 100 times.
Original songs from various films such as Trolls and Suicide Squad have entered the top 10 throughout the year.
The song One Dance spent a total of 15 consecutive weeks at number 1 making it the longest running number-one of the digital music era, breaking the record previous held by Rihanna in 2007 with Umbrella which spent a total of 10 consecutive weeks at number-one.
This is a list of singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2016 (see 2016 in British music). An asterisk (*) in the "Weeks in Top 10" column shows that the song is currently in the top 10.
