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. Before 2004, the chart was only based 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 1996, as well as songs which peaked in 1995 and 1997 but were in the top 10 in 1996. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 10 for the first time.

193 singles were in the top ten in 1996. Boyzone were one of six acts to record four top 10 singles during the year. Two of these singles reached number-one: the Bee Gees cover "Words" in October and their album title track "A Different Beat" in December. The other hits were "Father and Son", which reached number 2 at the end of 1995, and "Coming Home Now", which charted at number 4 in March. Another all-male group, Manic Street Preachers from Wales, had four top ten singles, with the highest charting "A Design for Life" reaching number two in April. Of the other artists, Michael Jackson had a number-one hit with "Earth Song"; Celine Dion peaked at number 3 with "It's All Coming Back to Me Now"; Mark Morrison reached number-one with his signature-song "Return of the Mack" and Eternal's biggest hit was "Forever", which peaked at number 3.
