List of Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles in 1992

This is a list of singles that have peaked in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 during 1992.[1][2][3][4] TLC, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, En Vogue, and Michael Jackson each had three top-ten hits in 1992, tying them for the most top-ten hits during the year.

With the new chart methodology implemented on November 30, 1991, it had a drastic effect on the amount of top tens throughout the year. A total of 77 songs reached the top ten, a huge decline from 111 songs from the previous year, with 68 songs that peaked that year while the remaining nine peaked in 1991 or 1993. 13 songs hit number one that year, while 10 songs peaked at number two.

One effect the new chart methodology had were songs that spend a lot more weeks in the top ten than usual from the previous years. Fifteen songs spent twelve weeks or more in the top 10, the first to do so since early 1984. "End of the Road" spent a then-record 19 weeks in the top 10 in a single chart run, alongside a record 13-week stay at number one.
