Top of the Pops, 17th October 2024

There's still no stopping Miss 2024 Sabrina Carpenter: she powers through the six-week barrier to capture a seventh week at number 1 with Taste (to add to all those other weeks with her other hits already this year). And not only that: she fills in alongside Bruno Mars, as Lady Gaga is off promoting her Joker musical madhouse film.

Elsewhere we have the return of international megastar Jimin, a nice slowed-down candlelight performance from Jazzy, and a big new entry from KSI. Plus a new chart peak for Addison Rae and a look back into the past with Crowded House.

The reborn Linkin Park open and close the show this week, performing their big climber Heavy Is The Crown and also adding to a thrashed-up exclusive version of Sabrina Carpenter's sempiternal number 1 Taste. Also doubling up a friends of the show Coldplay, who throw in a bit of Yellow as a nice surprise alongside their current hit, and Nines, who has two hits making headway lower down the rundown.

There's still a bit of kick left in the brat summer: Charli XCX is on again with a solo version of her former number 1, plus a breezy interpolation of Apple. Chappell Roan has a double bill as well, but the biggest news of the week might be the storming new entry from Linkin Park.

PRESENTER: Sir Ed Davey

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2024

With Sabrina Carpenter still at the top and the returning Oasis charging into the top ten as well, here's another week where most of the top 40 is nudged down and some of the lower-charting hits get a chance to shine. That means the long-awaited return of friends of the show Clean Bandit, as well as slow climbers from Kid Laroi, Zach Bryan and Benson Boone (by name as well as by nature).

Gigi Perez is here with a reprise of popular word-of-mouth hit Sailor Song, and Billie Eilish gives us another look at the dreamy Birds Of A Feather.

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 5th September 2024

This week, more than any yet, belongs to Sabrina Carpenter. Her third release in a row breezes into the number 1 slot, and the other two swarm up behind it leaving everyone else to battle it out for fourth. She performs a charming medley of all three year-defining songs on the show.

The rest of the chart sees a lot of downward shuffling, which means that the viewers get a deep dive into the lower reaches, with pretty interesting results. There's the new single from Coldplay, a quietly building old cover version by Disturbed, and a debut from Alex Warren. Oasis are in the From The Vault slot, and Billie Eilish and a stripped-down version of Free by just Ellie Goulding round out the line-up.

Debuts: Alex Warren

Coldplay - Feelslikeimfallinginlove / We Pray

Up 4 to number 29 / In at number 44

Billie Eilish - Wildflower

Up 2 to number 34
