Top of the Pops, 25th July 2019

As the summer of britrap rolls on, this time it's Dave and Young T and Bugsey who are heading back up the charts, alongside a new entry from Krept and Konan. It's great that all these MCs are happy to support the show, rubbing shoulders with (and often outcharting) the likes of Camila Cabello and Justin Bieber, who guests with Billie Eilish this week.

One week off the top was enough for King Ed Sheeran, though, so now he's back at the top with the next song in the queue, the fairly lovely Beautiful People, alongside fellow friend of the show Khalid.

Lots of changes on the chart here. King Ed is finally deposed from number 1 by our new king and queen, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. There's a trio of strong new entries from Mist, Post Malone and D-Block Europe, and longtime climbers from Kygo, Freya Ridings, Miley Cyrus and especially AJ Tracey are all rewarded with new chart peaks. Tracey welcomes his sampled vocalist Jorja Smith onto the show to sing live in celebration, while Kygo gets leading soundalike singer Kelli-Leigh to pay tribute to Whitney.

Top of the Pops, 11th July 2019

There's a lot of polite shuffling about in the chart this week, which gives us the opportunity to showcase a few hits that have been bubbling under for a while: Dominic Fike, Camila Cabello and Martin Garrix are the beneficiaries.

The Glastonbury effect has been pretty muted this year but the Killers are back in the chart. The summer of britrap continues with an entry from Young T and Bugsey, plus last week's debutant Aitch making it two weeks on TOTP in a row, and the biggest chart movement comes from King Ed Sheeran, whose Beautiful People (aided by friend of the show Khalid) joins I Don't Care (this week co-performed by Lewis Capaldi) in the top five.

Debuts: Dominic Fike, Patrick Stump (without Fall Out Boy)

Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

Up 6 to number 20

Ed Sheeran ft. Khalid - Beautiful People

Highest New Entry - In at number 3

Mark Ronson ft. Camila Cabello - Find U Again

Up 6 to number 31

Martin Garrix ft. Macklemore and Patrick Stump - Summer Days

Up 7 to number 26

Young T and Bugsey ft. Aitch - Strike A Pose

Up 5 to number 22

From The Vault: The Killers - Mr Brightside

Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait

Up 1 to number 5

Ed Sheeran ft. Lewis Capaldi - I Don't Care

Top of the Pops, 4th July 2019

It might be American Independence Day but here on TOTP it's possibly the biggest week ever for UK rap. There are chart entries for Jay1 and Bugzy Malone, a longtime chart climber from AJ Tracey, and another super-strong new hit from the man of the moment Stormzy.

On the sung side of things, Becky Hill has a double bill and Mabel continues her impressive 2019, and the US flag is flown (alongside the Cuban and Canadian ones) by Camila Cabello. Ed is still at number 1 and he flies in three American collaborators this week.

Debuts: Aitch

AJ Tracey - Ladbroke Grove

Up 1 to number 21

Stormzy - Crown

Mabel - Mad Love

Up 3 to number 13
