List of UK top-ten singles in 2002 explained
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.[1] Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles with airplay figures and digital downloads excluded from the official chart.[2] [3] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2002, as well as singles which peaked in 2001 and 2003 but were in the top 10 in 2002. The entry date is when the single 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).
Two hundred and sixteen singles were in the top ten in 2002. Ten singles from 2001 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne was released in 2002 but did not reach its peak until 2003.[4] Fifty-one artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2002. Blazin' Squad, Girls Aloud, Busted, Holly Valance, Pharrell Williams and Shakira were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2002.
The 2001 Christmas number-one, "Somethin' Stupid" by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman, remained at number-one for the first week of 2002.[5] Daniel Bedingfield's "Gotta Get thru This" returned to number-one in January after previously occupying the top spot for two weeks in December 2001.[6] The first new number-one single of the year was "More Than a Woman" by the late Aaliyah, who was killed in a plane crash in August 2001.[7] [8] Overall, thirty-two different singles peaked at number-one in 2002, with Gareth Gates and Will Young (both 3) having the most singles hit that position.
Background
Multiple entries
Two hundred and sixteen singles charted in the top 10 in 2002, with two-hundred and five singles reaching their peak this year.
Fifty artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2002. Four artists had the joint most top ten singles in 2002 with four. American singer Ashanti's "Foolish" was her only solo single of her top ten entries, peaking at number four.[9] Of her collaborations, "What's Luv?" with Fat Joe, and "Down 4 U" alongside Irv Gotti, The Inc., Ja Rule, Charlie Baltimore and Vita both reached number four. A fourth hit, "Always on Time" also with Ja Rule reached number six.
Pop Idol winner Will Young and runner-up Gareth Gates both had four top tens in 2002. Young had two number-one hits on his own, including "Anything is Possible"/"Evergreen"[10] and "Light My Fire".[11] His Children in Need single "Don't Let Me Down"/"You and I" just missed out on the top spot, peaking at number two.[12] Young and Gates got together to record a cover of The Beatles song "The Long and Winding Road" which landed at the top spot. [13]
Young's competition rival Gates had three top 10 singles in his own right. Debut single "Unchained Melody"[14] and follow-up "Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)"[9] were chart toppers, while a third song, album title track "What My Heart Wants to Say" reached number five. Gates also recorded a version of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds", which featured on "The Long and Winding Road" single as a double-A side.[15]
The final four-time entrants to the top ten this year were S Club Juniors, a spinoff group from the successful S Club 7 (renamed as S Club in March 2002). Beginning with "One Step Closer", which got to number two,[16] they achieved further chart fame as "Automatic High" and "New Direction" equalled that placing.[17] Christmas double single "Puppy Love/Sleigh Ride" rounded off their year, peaking in sixth position.[15]
Rapper Eminem was one of a number of artists with three top-ten entries, including number ones "Without Me"[18] and "Lose Yourself".[19] Atomic Kitten, Daniel Bedingfield, Oasis, Ronan Keating, Sugababes and Westlife were among the other artists who had multiple top 10 entries in 2002.

Ninety artists achieved their first top 10 single in 2002, either as a lead or featured artist. Of these, twelve went on to record another hit single that year: Avril Lavigne, Blazin' Squad, Darius, Flip & Fill, Holly Valance, Lasgo, Milk Inc., Moony, Ms. Dynamite, Nickelback, Scooter and Shakira. Three artists achieved two more chart hits in 2002: Chad Kroeger, Christina Milian and H & Claire (as a duo). Ashanti, Gareth Gates, S Club Juniors and Will Young all had three other entries in their breakthrough year.
