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. This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1980, as well as singles which peaked in 1979 and 1981 but were in the top 10 in 1980. The entry date is when the single appeared in the top 10 for the first time.
  One-hundred and forty-six singles were in the top ten in 1980. Ten singles from 1979 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "Antmusic" by Adam and the Ants, "Imagine" by John Lennon and "Happy Xmas" by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, the Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Center Choir were all released in 1980 but did not reach their peak until 1981. "Day Trip to Bangor" by Fiddler's Dram, "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney and "Brass in Pocket" by The Pretenders were the singles from 1979 to reach their peak in 1980. Twenty-eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1980.
context_section_description: The following table shows artists who achieved two or more top 10 entries in 1980, including singles that reached their peak in 1979 or 1981.
