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] 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.[2][3] Since 2014, the singles chart has been based on both sales and streaming.
This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart during 2014, as well as songs which peaked in 2013 and 2015 but were in the top 40 in 2014. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 40 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).
Three-hundred and thirty-eight singles were in the top forty this year. One single from 2012 and fifty-one singles from 2013 remained in the top 40 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, or re-entered during the year. "Alive" by Chase & Status featuring Jason Banks, "Clarity" by Zedd featuring Foxes, "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J, "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, "Little Me" by Little Mix "Sail" by Awolnation, "Show Me" by Kid Ink featuring Chris Brown, "Trumpets" by Jason Derulo, "Turn Back Time" by Sub Focus and "What Now" by Rihanna all first charted in 2013 but reached their peak in 2014.
Additionally, "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl and "Mr Brightside" by The Killers returned to the chart at the end of 2013 and rose to a higher position at the start of 2014, having peaked in previous years.
The list of singles that charted in 2014 but did not peak until 2015 include "7/11" by Beyoncé, "Blame" by Calvin Harris featuring John Newman, "Changing" by Sigma featuring Paloma Faith, "Hold Back the River" by James Bay, "Take Me to Church" by "Hozier.
One-hundred and seven artists had multiple entries in the top forty in 2014, with the five members of One Direction - Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik - having the most entries (8). Artists featured on the charity singles "Do They Know it's Christmas?" by Band Aid 30 and "God Only Knows" by Brian Wilson and Various Artists get an individual credit for these singles. Singles that reached the top ten this year are featured here but also included in their own article.
