The UK Singles Chart is a music chart compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom.[1] 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.
In 2007, 121 singles reached a peak position within the top 10. In addition, eight songs from 2006 and one song that peaked in 2008 also appeared in the top 10 of the singles chart. 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.[2] American rapper Akon and Lebanon-born British singer Mika shared the position of most top 10 entries in 2007 with four each, although Akon's "Smack That" - a collaboration with Eminem - peaked in 2006. Mika's debut number-one single "Grace Kelly" acted as a breakthrough for the singer as he went on to record three further top 10 entries during the year ("Love Today", "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" and "Happy Ending").[3][4]
Four further British acts in the form of Arctic Monkeys, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, and Take That all achieved three top 10 entries in 2007, along with American record producer and rapper Timbaland and German dance group Cascada. Take That, who only returned unexpectedly as a four-piece in late 2006 following a ten-year hiatus, had a very successful year, as "Shine" was a number-one single and "Rule the World" reached number two behind Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" in October 2007.[5] "Patience" had also reached number-one in 2006 and remained in the top 10 at the beginning of 2007.[6]
