The UK Singles Chart is a music chart compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom. Before 2004 the chart was based purely on the sales of physical singles, with airplay figures and digital downloads excluded from the official chart. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1991, as well as songs that peaked in 1990 and 1992 but were in the top 10 in 1991. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
144 singles were in the top ten in 1991. British acid house duo The KLF had four top 10 singles in 1991, the most of any artist. "3 a.m. Eternal peaked at number-one for two weeks, and "Justified & Ancient" and "Last Train to Trancentral" both reached number 2. They also reached number 10 in November with "It's Grim Up North" under the moniker of The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu. Rock Guns N Roses and Australian singer and actress Kylie Minogue both had three singles in the top 10. The former's biggest hit of the year, "You Could Be Mine", charted at number 3; their cover of "Live and Let Die" made the top 5, and "Don't Cry" reached number 8. Kylie Minogue had a similar level of success, with "If You Were with Me Now" reaching number 4 in November, and "Shocked" and "What Do I Have to Do" charting at number 6. Kylie's sister Dannii, MC Hammer, Snap! and The Wonder Stuff were among the many artists with two top-ten singles.
