Top of the Pops, 26th October 2017

After Post Malone's solo turn last week, it's his co-performer 21 Savage's turn to show that Post isn't the only one making bank from their mega-hit. 21 gives us an exclusive performance of rockstar plus one of his solo tracks from lower down the chart. We also have an unusual collabo-swap from friends of the show Little Mix and Ed Sheeran, the Mixers providing gorgeous backup harmonies on Perfect and Ed handling the CNCO Spanish bits on Reggaeton Lento surprisingly well (but still not that well).

Pink is doing well with her newly released album, and the tracks of the moment from Mabel, Khaled and Rita Ora round out the line-up. Plus Charlie Puth.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 19th October 2017

Nice, fresh line-up this week, with Giggs, Marshmello and Khalid, SZA on the Maroon 5 track and perhaps best of all, Stefflon Don. She performs her beautiful solo record, and also fills in for Sia alongside ZAYN in a rather special exclusive performance.

The two biggest songs of the moment, though, come from friend of the show Camila Cabello and our number 1 artiste Post Malone. Post brings us an album sampler as he has a ton of tracks in the chart just now.

Debuts: Donaeo.

Giggs ft. Donaeo - Linguo

Top of the Pops, 12th October 2017

All hail Post Malone, and indeed 21 Savage, as they take the final step to settle in the number 1 spot. Also breaking new ground are Chris and Kem and Mabel (with Kojo Funds) all making their TOTP debuts.

Ed Sheeran is back after a little while away with a two-song medley, but as touching as Perfect is, the show's real moment is the classic Tom Petty performance, shown in remembrance of the great man.

Debuts: Chris and Kem, Mabel, Kojo Funds.

Rudimental ft. James Arthur - Sun Comes Up

Up 2 to number 39

Chris & Kem - Little Bit Leave It

Highest New Entry - In at number 15

Yungen ft. Yxng Bane - Bestie

Mabel ft. Kojo Funds - Finders Keepers

J Balvin and Willy William - Mi Gente

Up 2 to number 14

Ed Sheeran - Perfect / Shape of You

Up 1 to number 1

PRESENTER: Duffy

Top of the Pops, 5th October 2017

Sam Smith holds firm at number 1, apparently only just keeping Post Malone and 21 Savage at bay (though they aren't on the show this week because they appeared last time). He's joined by fellow top ten entrants Camila Cabello, James Hype, Rita Ora and ZAYN (who's also joined by Ora, standing in for Sia).

We also have a lovely solo performance of Hurtin' Me by Stefflon Don, the debut of Big Shaq, and a moving return for Logic and Alessia Cara with their mental health anthem.

Debuts: Big Shaq.
