context_page_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. Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles. New Musical Express magazine published the United Kingdom record charts for the first time in 1952. NME originally published only a top 12 but this was gradually extended to encompass a top 20 by October 1954. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1952, as well as singles which peaked in 1953 but were in the top 10 in 1952. The entry date is when the single appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
  Twenty-three singles were in the top ten in 1952. "Takes Two to Tango" by Louis Armstrong, "Comes A-Long A-Love" by Kay Starr, "Walkin' to Missouri" by Tony Brent and "You Belong to Me" by Jo Stafford were all released in 1952 but did not reach their peak until 1953. Eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1952. Al Martino, Nat King Cole, Guy Mitchell and Frankie Laine were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 1952.
