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] 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.[2][3]
This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart during 2012, as well as songs which peaked in 2011 and 2013 but were in the top 40 in 2012. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 40 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).
Three-hundred and sixty-seven singles were in the top forty this year. One single from 2010 and fifty-one singles from 2011 remained in the top 40 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, or re-entered during the year. "One Day Like This" by Elbow, "Good Feeling" by Flo Rida, "Love On Top" by Beyoncé, "Mama Do the Hump" by Rizzle Kicks, "Paradise" by Coldplay, "Princess of China" by Coldplay featuring Rihanna, "The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry, "Titanium" by David Guetta featuring Sia, "Turn Me On" by David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj and "You Da One" by Rihanna all first charted in 2011 but reached their peak in 2012, while "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri took until 2013 to rise to its highest chart position, having first entered the top forty in 2011. "Gold Dust" by DJ Fresh returned to the chart at a new peak, with its initial run starting in 2010.
The list of singles that charted in 2012 but did not peak until 2013 include "Clique" by Kanye West, Jay-Z & Jay Sean, "Clown" by Emeli Sandé, "Don't Stop the Party" by Pitbull featuring TJR, "Drinking from the Bottle" by Calvin Harris featuring Tinie Tempah, "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift, "Kiss You" by One Direction, "One Pound Fish" by One Pound Fish Man, "Only Love" by Ben Howard, "Play Hard" by David Guetta, Ne-Yo & Akon, "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons, "Scream & Shout" by will.i.am & Britney Spears and "Yeah Yeah" by Willy Moon.
One-hundred and three artists had multiple entries in the top forty in 2012, with Rihanna having the most entries (9). Artists featured on the charity singles "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Justice Collective get an individual credit for these singles. Singles that reached the top ten this year are featured here but also included in their own article.
