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. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2007, as well as songs which peaked in 2006 or 2008 but were in the top 10 in 2007. 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).
One-hundred and thirty-three songs were in the top ten in 2007. Seven singles from 2006 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Crank That" by Soulja Boy first charted in 2007 but reached its peak in 2008. Twenty-seven artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2007. The new chart rules introduced at the start of the year enabled Scottish/Irish band Snow Patrol to re-enter the top 10 with "Chasing Cars, a song that originally charted in summer 2006, without a physical copy of the record being in the shops at that time.Calvin Harris, Mark Ronson, Mika, OneRepublic and Scouting for Girls were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2007.
The 2006 Christmas number-one, "A Moment Like This" by 2006 X Factor winner Leona Lewis remained at number-one for the first three weeks of 2007. The first new number-one single of the year was "Grace Kelly" by Mika. Overall, eighteen different songs peaked at number-one in 2007, with Leona Lewis, Sugababes and Timbaland (2) all having the most songs hit that position.
