List of UK top-ten singles in 2014

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Pharrell Williams had the best-selling single of 2014 with "Happy", taken from the soundtrack of Despicable Me 2, which first entered the top 10 in December 2013, peaked at number-one on 4 January 2014, and spent 20 weeks in the top 10 altogether.
John Legend spent 19 non-consecutive weeks in the UK top 10 this year with "All of Me", which peaked at number two in April and became the third best selling single of the year.

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] From 6 July, streaming figures became incorporated into the singles chart which means that a song will count as a sale, if streamed 100 times.[4] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2014, as well as singles which peaked in 2013 but were in the top 10 in 2014. 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 fifty-five singles were in the top ten in 2014. Seven singles from 2013 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Happy" by Pharrell Williams" (from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack) and "Trumpets" by Jason Derulo were the singles from 2013 to reach their peak in 2014. Fifty-eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2014. Ariana Grande, Clean Bandit, George Ezra, Jess Glynne, Meghan Trainor and Shawn Mendes were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2014.

The first number-one single of the year was "Happy", which spent four non-consecutive weeks on top of the chart. The song vacated number-one for a week on 11 January 2014, being replaced by "Timber" by Kesha and Pitbull before returning to the top spot. Overall, thirty-eight different singles peaked at number-one in 2014, with Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith (3) having the joint most singles hit that position (including artist's participation on the Band Aid 30 charity single).
