Top of the Pops, 27th February 2020

If you were wondering when Billie Eilish would top the chart, well, the answer is now. Her Bond-assisted newie drops in at number 1 (and the second highest entry of the week comes from the last Bond singer, Sam Smith, too).

Lewis Capaldi is still in the top ten, now on a barely believable Chasing Cars-type run, but Mabel isn't doing badly for chart longevity either, albeit a bit lower down. New stuff comes from the mighty Bieber and newcomer Doja Cat.

Debuts: Doja Cat

High Climber - Up 14 to number 38

Top of the Pops, 20th February 2020

Superduo Future and Drake are back in the studio, between them just about eclipsing Justin Bieber's star on a pretty stacked TOTP. The highlight must be the two of them guesting on a souped-up exclusive performance from friend of the show Camila Cabello.

We've also got new stuff from Joel Corry, both new and old stuff from Selena Gomez, and a second week up top for the 1980s stylings of The Weeknd.

Top of the Pops, 13th February 2020

As possibly expected, friend of the show The Weeknd leaps a place to displace chart mastodon Lewis Capaldi at the top - but Capaldi is still in the top ten with last year's hit, so both are on the show. Dua Lipa has a big new entry as well, and Roddy Ricch is back with a mate in tow - another future chart topper, maybe?

Elsewhere chart inroads are made by KSI and Saint JHN, and Halsey hangs in mid-chart like she has done for a while. And how about Arizona Zervas - the guy just won't go away.

Ariona Zervas - Roxanne

Up 1 to number 9

Dua Lipa - Physical

It's been a longish climb, but the latest fizzer from chart heavyweight Lewis Capaldi has made it all the way to the top. He's run fairly close by friends of the show Dua Lipa and The Weeknd.
