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. Since 2014, the singles chart has been based on both sales and streaming; in 2017 it uses the ratio of 150 streams equivalent to one sale (not 100:1 as previously). This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2017, as well as songs which peaked in 2016 but were in the top 10 in 2017. 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).
Forty-nine singles have been in the top ten this year as of 18 May 2017 (week ending). Ten singles from 2016 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "I Would Like" by Zara Larsson was the only song from 2016 to reach its peak in 2017, reaching number two on 5 January 2017 having entered the top 10 on 29 December 2016. Eleven artists have scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2017. Dua Lipa, Frank Ocean, Martin Jensen, Skip Marley and Starley are among the many artists who have achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2017.
The 2016 Christmas number-one, "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit featuring Anne-Marie and Sean Paul, remained at number-one for the first two weeks of 2016. The first new number-one single of the year was "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran. So far, six different songs have peaked at number-one in 2017, with Clean Bandit and Justin Bieber (2) having the most songs hit that position. An asterisk (*) in the "Weeks in Top 10" column shows that the song is currently in the top 10.
