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. Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles with airplay figures and digital downloads excluded from the official chart. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2000, as well as singles which peaked in 1999 but were in the top 10 in 2000. 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). Two hundred and twenty-three singles were in the top ten in 2000. Thirteen singles from 1999 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year. "Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo" by Mr Hankey, "Two in a Million"/"You're My Number One" by S Club 7 and "Say You'll Be Mine"/"Better the Devil You Know" by Steps were the singles from 1999 to reach their peak in 2000. Forty-nine artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2000. Blink-182, Coldplay, Nelly, Pink and Sia were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2000. The 1999 Christmas number-one, "I Have a Dream"/"Seasons in the Sun" by Westlife, remained at number-one for the first three weeks of 2000. The first new number-one single of the year was "The Masses Against the Classes" by Welsh band Manic Street Preachers. Overall, forty-three different singles peaked at number-one in 2000, with Westlife (4) having the most singles hit that position.
