Top of the Pops, 25th March 2021

With Olivia Rodrigo capsizing all the way down to number 18 this week, the top ten is finally showing some movement. One beneficiary is Nathan Evans, but we all get to enjoy a high-quality show featuring a lot of very big hits.

With KSI busy performing his new track with Yungblud, Anne-Marie brings us an acoustic version of Don't Play. There's also a double performance by Doja Cat (plus Saweetie) and a riotous exclusive from RAYE and her compadres D-Block Europe. Topic and A7S are also back, but it seems 9pm might be past ATB's bedtime these days.

A new Drake album (or content-dump) is released, shaking up the chart as usual; he performs two of the tracks here as a nice sampler. There are also big entries from Justin Bieber, our own AJ Tracey, and the super-duo Silk Sonic.

The Tiesto track has been climbing relentlessly for several weeks now, so it's good to invite him back for a reprise. Ella and Tom are also back again with their cheeky ditty, and we say helloooooo to the enigmatic Masked Wolf.

With Olivia Rodrigo scaling the business end of the all-time list of number 1 runs, we revisit hits from Travis Scott, Central Cee and the unsinkable Nathan Evans, and welcome newer material from Tom Grennan and RAYE (plus produce of the moment Joel Corry, of course).

Top of the Pops, 4th March 2021

The top ten is fairly static this week, which means the show can feature some lower-down hits that have been waiting a few weeks for their chance. That means welcoming Duncan Laurence, as well as the latest hit from Ava Max. Glass Animals are back on the show and it's nice to see Ella Henderson, duetting here with Tom Grennan. Transatlantic star power comes from Cardi B, Doja Cat and of course the immovable Olivia Rodrigo at the top.
