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. 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. 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 2023, as well as singles which peaked in 2022 and 2024 but were in the top 10 in 2023. 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). Thirty-four singles have been in the top 10 so far this year (as of 23 March 2023, week ending). Fifteen singles from 2022 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Calm Down" by Rema, "Escapism" by Raye, "Merry Christmas" by Ed Sheeran and Elton John, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Bublé, "Firebabe" by Stormzy and "Let Go" by Central Cee were the singles from 2022 to reach their peak in 2023. Bugzy Malone, Miguel, PinkPantheress, Coi Leray and Lizzy McAlpine are among the many artists who have achieved their first top 10 single so far in 2023. "Last Christmas" by Wham!, originally released in 1984, returned to the top of the chart in the first week of 2023. The first new number-one single of the year was "Escapism" by Raye featuring 070 Shake. Overall, three different songs have peaked at number-one so far in 2023, with three unique artists hitting that position. An asterisk (*) in the "Weeks in Top 10" column shows that the song is currently in the top 10.
