Add article description

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] Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles with airplay figures and digital downloads excluded from the official chart.[2][3] 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).

All Saints (group member Nicole Appleton pictured) recorded "Pure Shores" for the soundtrack of the film The Beach, scoring a number-one hit. It ended up as the second best selling single of 2000. The group topped the charts again later in the year with "Black Coffee".
Baha Men spent twelve consecutive weeks in the UK top 10 with their single "Who Let the Dogs Out", which peaked at number two. It went on to become the year's fourth best selling single.
S Club 7 had four top 10 singles in 2000, including the number-one hit "Never Had a Dream Come True", released as the official single for this year's Children in Need.
Craig David (pictured in 2018) had a total of five top 10 singles this year, including two number-ones: "Fill Me In" and "7 Days".
Eminem (pictured in 2014) secured four UK top 10 hits this year, including two number-ones: "The Real Slim Shady" and "Stan".

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,[4] "Two in a Million"/"You're My Number One" by S Club 7[5] and "Say You'll Be Mine"/"Better the Devil You Know" by Steps[6] 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.[7] The first new number-one single of the year was "The Masses Against the Classes" by Welsh band Manic Street Preachers.[8] Overall, forty-three different singles peaked at number-one in 2000, with Westlife (4) having the most singles hit that position.[7][9]

Australian singer Minogue's biggest hit of the year was July's "Spinning Around" which spent a week at the top.[29] Her other entries were "On a Night Like This", missing out on being her second number one of the year by one position, and "Please Stay", a single week in tenth spot.[30] Her fourth single to chart was "Kids" at the end of the year with Robbie Williams - the song peaked at number one.[31]
