- 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. 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. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2006, as well as singles which peaked in 2005 but were in the top 10 in 2006. The entry date is when the song 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). One-hundred and sixty-nine singles were in the top ten in 2006. Nine singles from 2005 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "When I'm Gone" by Eminem was the only song from 2005 to reach its peak in 2006. Forty-two artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2006. Amy Winehouse, Fall Out Boy, Lily Allen, Ne-Yo and Timbaland were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2006. The 2005 Christmas number-one, "That's My Goal" by 2005 X Factor winner Shayne Ward, remained at number-one for the first three weeks of 2006. The first new number-one single of the year was "When the Sun Goes Down" by Arctic Monkeys. Overall, twenty-five different singles peaked at number-one in 2006, with McFly (2) having the most singles hit that position. (en)
