Posted December 25, 201311 yr As the 2013 chart year (but not the sales year) has ended with the chart dated 28/12/13 (next Sunday's chart will carry a 2014 date despite being issued in 2013), I am listing all the singles to have entered the Top 75 during 2013, in a sort of Book Of British Hit Singles way. Most of the biographical comments have come from Wikipedia to save time, so I'm sure there are mistakes there, and of course there are often different interpretations of act credits, particularly where "featured artists" are concerned. Any updates/corrections etc. as usual gladly welcomed. Key : $ = US Number One, ✮ UK Million Seller, ➜ Still in Top 75 at the end of the chart year.
