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. 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. 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.
This is a list of singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2014 (see 2014 in British music). The date is when the song entered the top 10 for the first time. An asterisk (*) in the "Weeks in Top 10" column shows that the song is currently in the top 10.
Original songs from various films such as Despicable Me 2, Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars have entered the top 10 throughout the year.
Pharrell Williams had the best-selling single of the year with "Happy" which spent 20 weeks in the top 10, 4 of which were at number 1. Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne's "Rather Be" was the second best-seller which spent 12 weeks in the top 10, 4 of which were also at number 1. Songs by John Legend, Mr. Probz, Ed Sheeran, Ella Henderson, Sam Smith, Meghan Trainor, Pitbull and George Ezra were also in the top 10 best-selling singles of 2014.
