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] Since 2014, the singles chart has been based on both sales and streaming; in 2022 it uses the ratio of 150 streams equivalent to one sale (not 100:1 as previously).[4]
Chart rules were altered again from 7 July 2018 to help new artists break through by limiting the number of tracks by the same artist allowed in the chart at the same time to 3. The streaming to sales ratio remained largely unchanged but for songs which have spent a high number of weeks in the chart the ratio is altered to 300:1.[5] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart during 2022, as well as songs which peaked in 2021 or 2023 but were in the top 40 in 2022. 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).
Two-hundred and nintety-four singles were in the top forty this year. One single from 2019 and 64 singles from 2021 remained in the top 40 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, or re-entered during the year. "10:35" by Tiësto & Tate McRae, "Another Love" by Tom Odell, "Calm Down" by Rema, "Creepin'" by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd & 21 Savage, "Escapism" by Raye featuring 070 Shake, "Firebabe" by Stormzy, "Golden Hour" by Jvke, "Let Go" by Central Cee, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" by Frank Sinatra", "Lionheart (Fearless)" by Joel Corry & Tom Grennan, "Mockingbird" by Eminem, "Out of Nowhere" by Bugzy Malone & TeeDee, "Pointless" by Lewis Capaldi, "Snowman" by Sia, "Someday at Christmas by Lizzo and "Superhero (Heroes & Villains)" by Metro Boomin, Future and Chris Brown, all first charted in 2022 but reached their peak in 2023
The list of singles that charted in 2021 but did not peak until 2022 include "ABCDEFU" by Gayle, "Do It To It" by Acraze featuring Cherish, "Enemy" by Imagine Dragons & JID, "Ghost" by Justin Bieber, "I Wish" by Joel Corry featuring Mabel, "Seventeen Going Under" by Sam Fender and "Where Are You Now" by Lost Frequencies & Calum Scott. A selection of Christmas songs which had charted in 2022 returned to the chart at the end of the year and reached a new peak for their latest run in 2023.
Seventy-two artists had multiple entries in the top forty in 2022 with Ed Sheeran having the most entries (11). Singles that reached the top ten this year are featured here but also included in their own article.
One song from 2022 remained in the top 40 until 27th July, "Calm Down" by Rema. "Anti-Hero" also returned for another extended run, exiting again on 14th September as the final 2022 single to leave the chart. "Calm Down" returned for several more weeks, as did Anti-Hero.
