Top of the Pops, 7th January 2021

It's a strange chart this week, as many Christmas faves get one last kick up the chart even as the pine-scented magic fades, while long runners from last year rub shoulders with hopefuls for 2021. Amid all that, Asian Dub Foundation and Stewart Lee are an entirely unexpected presence.

The glorious and ludicrously belated number 1 from Wham! aside, the editorial decision is to concentrate on non-Christmas material here, so there's room for friends of the show Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa, alongside bright young things CJ, Shane Codd and Kid Laroi. All this and the return of Ed Sheeran.
