Audio streaming data was incorporated into the chart in 2014, with 100 streams equivalent to one sale.[1] In 2017, the OCC introduced an exception for songs that had spent a certain time on the charts and whose consumption had declined, whereby these songs are calculated at a rate of 300 streams equivalent to a sale.[2] Ellie Goulding was the first artist to top the chart in the decade, with her cover of Joni Mitchell's song "River".

The following singles have all been number one in the United Kingdom during the 2020s.[3][4]
