List of artists with the most UK top-ten singles
The UK Singles Chart is a weekly record chart which for most of its history was based on single sales from Sunday to Saturday in the United Kingdom. The chart was founded in 1952 by Percy Dickins of New Musical Express (NME), who telephoned 20 record stores to ask what their top 10 highest-selling singles were. Dickins aggregated the results into a top 12 hit parade, which was topped by "Here in My Heart" by Al Martino. NMEs chart was published each week in its eponymous magazine. From 2004, music downloads became included in the chart, and rules were altered in 2006 so that singles could chart before physical formats were released. Since July 2014, it has incorporated music streaming service data, with music video views counted towards the chart from July 2018. From 10 July 2015, the chart has been based on a Friday to Thursday week. 

This list shows the thirty-seven artists with the most top-ten singles on the UK Singles Chart. American singer-actor Elvis Presley holds the record for most top-ten singles with 76. British musician Cliff Richard is in second place, with 68 top-ten singles. American singer Madonna in third, with 63 top-ten singles. She gained a spot in the Guinness World Records in 1998, for most consecutive top-ten singles with 36, which still remains. English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran holds the record for the most concurrent singles in the top ten, set in 2017 when he occupied nine of the ten spots.
