The UK Singles Chart is a weekly record chart compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC) on behalf of the British record industry. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday, with the chart date given as the following Thursday.[1]
Audio streaming data was incorporated into the chart in 2014, with 100 streams equivalent to one sale.[1] In 2017, the OCC introduced an exception for songs that had spent a certain time on the charts and whose consumption had declined, whereby these songs are calculated at a rate of 300 streams equivalent to a sale.[2] Ellie Goulding was the first artist to top the chart in the decade with her cover of Joni Mitchell's song "River".
The following singles have all been number one in the United Kingdom during the 2020s:[3][4]

Notes
- ^ a b c d The artist, single, date of reaching number one and number of weeks at number one are those given by the Official Charts Company.
- ^ The record labels are those given by the OCC.[5]
- ^ This was originally issued as a single by EMI Records, the majority of whose catalogue was purchased along with Virgin Records by Universal Music Group (UMG). However, UMG did not purchase the catalogue of Kate Bush as the licence for her work was part of the Parlophone-deal arranged with Warner Music (WMG). Fish People[6] is Kate Bush's record label, who also issued a version with a re-recorded vocal in 2012, with the licensing rights currently belonging to Rhino Entertainment, the catalogue division of WMG.[7][8][9][10]
- ^ This was originally issued as a single by Rosebud, Eliza Rose's own independent record label and picked up by Warner Music UK a few weeks after charting.[11] After being listed solely under the Warner Music UK banner, the record label credit was changed for a third time to Warner Records X One House[12][13][14] during the record's stay in the UK charts
- ^ Asylum Records was jointly credited alongside Perfect Havoc, a dance record label founded by Adam Griffin and Robert Davies, on Joel Corry's number one hit.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
