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] During the 1990s the chart was based purely on the sales of physical singles, with airplay figures excluded from the official chart.
This is a list of singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1994 (see 1994 in British music). The date is when the song entered the top 10 for the first time. Songs that were still in the top 10 at the beginning of 1995 but peaked in 1994 are listed in List of top 10 singles in 1994 (UK). Songs that entered the top 10 in 1995 but did not peak until 1996 are listed in List of top 10 singles in 1996 (UK).
