I took the time to go through the top ten for every week of this decade so far and I compiled data involving rappers and their top ten hits, starting with the chart update for January 3, 2010. I only include Official Chart-recognized hits for each rapper.
You can revisit the US-equivalent to this thread here.

Songs listed below have a rapper as a featured artist and spent at least 2 week at #1.
Note: Songs by rappers featuring rappers are not listed below.
| Peak | Weeks At Peak | Song by Artist(s) | Weeks in Top 10 | Year(s) | | #1 | 5 | Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke f/ Pharrell Williams & T.I. | 14 | 2013 | | #1 | 2 | Price Tag by Jessie J f/ B.o.B | 10 | 2011 | | #1 | 2 | On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez f/ Pitbull | 8 | 2011 | | #1 | 2 | Payphone by Maroon 5 f/ Wiz Khalifa | 8 | 2012 | | #1 | 2 | Troublemaker by Olly Murs f/ Flo Rida | 8 | 2012/13 | | #1 | 2 | California Girls by Katy Perry f/ Snoop Dogg | 7 | 2010 | | #1 | 2 | Hall of Fame by The Script f/ will.i.am | 6 | 2012 | | #1 | 2 | R.I.P. by Rita Ora f/ Tinie Tempah | 4 | 2012 | | #1 | 2 | Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo f/ 2 Chainz | 4 | 2013 | | #1 | 2 | Shout by Shout for England f/ Dizzee Rascal & James Corden | 3 | 2010 |
One Weekers
Since the chart is mostly a sales-based chart (and now, as of 2014, has slight influence from streaming), there are a lot more songs that only manage to spend one week in the top ten so here's the highest peaking one weekers:
| Peak | Weeks at Peak | Song by Artist(s) | Weeks in Top 10 | Year | | #2 | 1 | Rockstar by Dappy f/ Brian May | 1 | 2012 | | #3 | 1 | Anaconda by Nicki Minaj | 1 | 2014 | | #5 | 1 | Spaceship by Tinchy Stryder & Dappy | 1 | 2011 | | #5 | 1 | Rap God by Eminem | 1 | 2013 |
Common Collaborators
David Guetta boasts the most top ten hits with rappers (6): "Club Can't Handle Me" with Flo Rida (#1), "Where Them Girls At" with Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj (#3), "Little Bad Girl" with Ludacris (#4), "Sweat" with Snoop Dogg (#4), "Play Hard" with Akon (#6), and "Turn Me On" with Nicki Minaj (#8).
Ariana Grande has the most #1 collaborations with rappers (2): "Bang Bang" with Nicki Minaj and "Problem" with Iggy Azalea.
Most Solo Hits As A Lead
"Most solo hits as a lead artist" means that there is no other artist featured on the track nor is there another artist who shares the lead credit, meaning hits from groups like "Macklemore & Ryan Lewis", "Jessie J, Ariana Grande, & Nicki Minaj", and "DJ Snake & Lil' Jon" do not count.

Please, if you post this on to another forum, link back to this thread. It isn't because I want credit, but instead if you ever stop updating the thread on another site, people will know where to come for the most recent update. I have plans on doing compiling the top tens for the 00s for the US then the UK.
If you see any errors, please point them out. Thank you!!!

Hm, I'll consider adding her since she is considered a rapper.
Also, if anyone could point out anyone who might not actually be a rapper, please tell me because I'm pretty unfamiliar with some of the UK rappers. If I'm missing any, please share too!

I found some time to update the thread.
So far, we have two hits from rappers this year: "FourFiveSeconds" by Rihanna, Kanye West, & Paul McCartney and "Ayo" by Chris Brown & Tyga. Both are currently charting in the top ten as well!
"FourFiveSeconds" is Kanye West's second top ten hit as a lead and third overall in the UK so far this decade. His other two hits are "****** in Paris" with Jay-Z and "E.T." by Katy Perry which he is featured on. "E.T." peaked at #3 and spent a total of five weeks in the top ten in 2011 while "****** in Paris" peaked at #10 and spent one week in the top ten in 2012.
"Ayo" is Tyga's second top ten hit and his first as a lead in the UK so far this decade. "Loyal" by Chris Brown, which he is featured on, peaked at #10 and spent one week in the top ten back in 2014.
Considering adding certifications to this thread and the US one. Gonna focus on other stuff first tho.
