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 2008, as well as songs which peaked in 2007 or 2009 but were in the top 10 in 2008. 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 twenty-one songs were in the top ten in 2008. Nine singles from 2007 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Crank That" by Soulja Boy was the only song from 2007 that reached its peak in 2008. "Broken Strings" by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado first charted in 2008 but reached its peak in 2009. Twenty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2008. Flo Rida, Katy Perry, Kings of Leon, The Script and The Saturdays were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2008.
The 2007 Christmas number-one, "When You Believe" by 2007 X Factor winner Leon Jackson remained at number-one for the first two weeks of 2008. The first new number-one single of the year was "Now You're Gone" by Basshunter featuring DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz. Overall, twenty different songs peaked at number-one in 2008, with Alexandra Burke (2) having the most songs hit that position (including her credit on "Hero" with The X Factor Finalists 2008).
