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] 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] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 2004, as well as singles which peaked in 2003 but were in the top 10 in 2004. 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).

Bono of the band U2 was part of the Band Aid 20 collective, who recorded the best-selling single of 2004, "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song spent four weeks at the top of the chart from 11 December 2004.
Swedish DJ Eric Prydz took his dance track "Call on Me" to number-one for a total of five weeks. It was ranked as the fourth best-selling song of the year.
Jamelia's biggest hit of her four top ten's (other than her Band Aid 20 appearance) was the number 2 single "Thank You". Two other singles reached the top 10: "See It in a Boy's Eyes" (5) and "DJ"/"Stop" (9).
"Dry Your Eyes" was a number-one single for new artist The Streets from Birmingham. His other single "Fit but You Know It" ranked at number four.
Dizzee Rascal was a featured act on the Band Aid 20 single, and also reached number 10 with his song "Stand Up Tall".
Joss Stone was another artist with the Band Aid single in her discography. She added to this with her first solo top 10 "You Had Me".

Two hundred and ten singles were in the top ten in 2004. Ten singles from 2003 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year.[4] Hey Ya! by Outkast was the only single from 2003 to reach its peak in 2004.[5] Sixty-five artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 2004. Dizzee Rascal, Kanye West, Kasabian, Maroon 5 and Snow Patrol were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 2004.

The 2003 Christmas number-one, "Mad World" by Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules (which was recorded for the 2001 film Donnie Darko), remained at number-one for the first week of 2004.[6] The first new number-one single of the year was "All This Time" by 2003 Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus. The release sent McManus into the Guinness Book of Records as the first Scottish female to reach the top of the charts with their debut single.[7] Overall, thirty different singles peaked at number-one in 2004, with Busted (3) having the most singles (including their appearance on Band Aid 20's "Do They Know It's Christmas?") hit that position.[8][9][10]

Background

Multiple entries

Two hundred and ten singles charted in the top 10 in 2004, with 200 singles reaching their peak this year (including the re-entry "Mysterious Girl" which charted in previous years but reached a peak on its latest chart run).

Thirteen artists recorded four or more top 10 singles across the course of 2004. Of these, seven artists totals included an appearance on the Band Aid 20 charity single, which reached number-one. Two of Busted's other three singles in 2004 also peaked at the top spot, with "Who's David"[8] and ""Thunderbirds"/"3AM""[9] both landing the coveted position. "Air Hostess" just missed out, reaching number-two in May.[16] Jamelia's biggest solo hit of the year was "Thank You" which lost out on number-one to Peter Andre's "Mysterious Girl" in March.[17] She scored two further top tens with "See It In A Boy's Eyes" (5) in July and double-A side "DJ"/"Stop" (9) in November.[18]

Kelis herself had two solo hits in 2004, as well as featuring on Enrique Iglesias single "Not In Love", which peaked at number five.[31] "Milkshake" took second spot behind "All This Time" by Michelle McManus in January[32] and "Trick Me" reached the same position in June.[33]

Duncan James from the band Blue reached number two with his debut solo single "I Believe My Heart" (featuring Keedie)[14] and had three top 10 hits with the band: "Breathe Easy",[29] "Bubblin' and "Curtain Falls".[34] McFly's first single, "5 Colours in Her Hair" reached number-one,[35] while follow-ups "Obviously",[30] "That Girl",[36] "Room on the 3rd Floor" all made the top 10.[37]

Notes

Michelle debuted at number-one with "All This Time" in January, but her first chart credit was with her fellow Pop Idol series 2 finalists on "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" at the end of 2003.[7][44] This also included Sam and Mark, whose single "With a Little Help from My Friends"/"Measure of a Man" marked their debut as a duo.[39]

Twisted X was a supergroup created by the radio station XFM. The song "Born in England" featured several artists who had previously appeared in the UK top 10 (Supergrass and The Libertines) as well as several debutants (James Nesbitt, Bernard Butler and The Delays).[15] Duncan James from Blue debuted with a solo single in 2004, "I Believe My Heart", which was recorded as a duet with Keedie. Another former boyband member - Brian McFadden of Westlife - reached number-one with his first solo single, "Real to Me", while a second song "Irish Son" entered at number 6.

Band Aid 20 was a new iteration of the original Band Aid and Band Aid II supergroups, recording a new version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in aid of crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Shaznay Lewis, formerly of All Saints, peaked at number 8 with her debut solo single "Never Felt Like This Before". She also performed on the Band Aid 20 single.[45] Róisín Murphy had appeared in the chart before with Moloko but she featured on "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in her own right.[46] Tom Hannon (of The Divine Comedy),[47] Coldplay's Chris Martin, Tim Wheeler (Ash) and Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Chaplin (both from the band Keane) had similarly charted with their groups before Band Aid 20.[48]

Songs from films

Original songs from various films entered the top 10 throughout the year. These included "Thunderbirds" (from Thunderbirds),[9] "We Are" (Spider-Man 2),[49] "Car Wash" (Shark Tale)[50] and "Misunderstood" (Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason).[51]

Charity singles

A number of singles recorded for charity reached the top 10 in the charts in 2004. The Sport Relief single was "Some Girls" by former S Club 7 member Rachel Stevens, peaking at number two on 24 July 2004.[25]

Girls Aloud recorded the Children in Need single for 2004, a cover of The Pretenders song "I'll Stand by You". It was their seventh successive top 10 single and reached number-one on 27 November 2004.[52]

A group of artists came together under the banner of Band Aid 20 and released the single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in aid of the Darfur region of Sudan. It was the third version of the song to hit the charts after Band Aid and Band Aid II in the 1980s. The song featured artists including Bono, Busted, Daniel Bedingfield, Jamelia and Paul McCartney.[53] It was the Christmas number-one single for 2004, topping the chart for four weeks from 11 December 2004.[54][55]

Best-selling singles

Band Aid 20 had the best-selling single of the year with "Do They Know It's Christmas?". The song spent six weeks in the top 10 (including four weeks at number one), sold over 1.06 million copies and was certified platinum by the BPI.[56] "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)" by Eamon came in second place, selling more than 552,000 copies and losing out by around 454,000 sales.[11] DJ Casper's "Cha Cha Slide",[31] "Call on Me"[57] from Eric Prydz and "Yeah!"[29] by Usher featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris made up the top five. Singles by Michelle McManus,[7] Anastacia,[29] Peter Andre featuring Bubbler Ranx,[17] Britney Spears[58] and Frankee (a response song to Eamon called "F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)")[38] were also in the top ten best-selling singles of the year.[59]
