List of UK top-ten singles in 1991
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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] Before 2004, the chart was only based on the sales of physical singles.[2][3] This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart during 1991, as well as singles which peaked in 1990 and 1992 but were in the top 10 in 1991. The entry date is when the single 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).

One-hundred and forty-six singles were in the top ten in 1991. Nine singles from 1990 remained in the top 10 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, while "Addams Groove" by MC Hammer, "Don't Talk Just Kiss" by Right Said Fred, "Justified & Ancient" by The KLF featuring Tammy Wynette, "Roobarb and Custard" by Shaft and "Too Blind to See It" by Kym Sims were all released in 1991 but did not reach their peak until 1992. "Pray by MC Hammer, "Sadeness (Part I)" by Enigma and "The Grease Megamix" by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John" were the singles from 1990 to reach their peak in 1991. Twenty-eight artists scored multiple entries in the top 10 in 1991. 2 Unlimited, Blur, Bryan Adams, Nirvana and The Prodigy were among the many artists who achieved their first UK charting top 10 single in 1991.
"Everything I Do (I Do It for You)" broke a record for number of weeks at number-one that had stood since the 1950s, and still remains a record as of 2018. The Bryan Adams song was featured on the soundtrack to the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and was at the top of the charts from 7 July until it was knocked off by U2's "The Fly" on 27 October. The single sold over 1.5 million copies, spent sixteen weeks at number-one and five more weeks in the top ten.
The first number-one single of the year was "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" by Iron Maiden. Overall, seventeen different singles peaked at number-one in 1991, with Brian May and Roger Taylor (3, including singles with Queen and Hale and Pace) having the most singles hit that position.
