Top of the Pops, 29th September 2022

A big welcome back for friend of the show Anne-Marie! Aitch guests on her song, and he's also here on his own track alongside King Ed Sheeran, so it all joins up. Also returning are international stars BlackPink with their second hit of the year, and Rosa Linn, who's showing a lot of staying power for a Eurovision hit.

Our debutant this week Montell Fish, and unqualified congratulations must go to David Guetta and Bebe Rexha for jumping up to number 1, whatever the material is like.

Top of the Pops, 22nd September 2022

Lewis Capaldi is back! He smashes in at number 1 and it's instantly like he's never been away. Aside from him there's not too much movement near the top of the chart, so we're able to feature some of the tracks that have been toiling lower down for a while: Rema, Oxlade and the returning Nicky Youre and Charli XCX are all beneficiaries of this.

On the other hand there's no dearth of established names: Lizzo, Nicki Minaj and (popping back up in the From The Vault slot) Coldplay are all featured too.

Debuts: Rema, Oxlade

Lizzo - 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)

Up 4 to number 34

Top of the Pops, 15th September 2022

It's a big welcome back for two of Britain's remaining bands, the Arctic Monkeys and the 1975. And a huge turnaround for Tom Odell, who is storming back up the chart after ages on the edges. Other than that it's something of a catch-up week, with repeat appearances for some of the biggest hits of the moment from Luude, Central Cee and Steve Lacy. Eliza Rose proves it wasn't a fluke and makes it two weeks at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 1st September 2022

We've had a summer with a fair few long-running hits but things get shaken up a bit as we go into the autumn. Nicky Youre is a new face, BlackPink are back after a long gap, Fred Again has crept into the top 40 and there's a big new hit from Aitch and King Ed Sheeran. Even Harry Styles hasn't been on for a bit.

Some continuity is provided by a second appearance from Rosa Linn and the immovable constant of LF System at number 1, still holding Eliza Rose at bay.

Debuts: Nicky Youre, Dazy

Nicky Youre vs Dazy - Sunroof

Up 4 to number 29

BlackPink - Pink Venom

In at number 22

Harry Styles - Late Night Talking

Up 5 to number 12

Fred Again vs Swedish House Mafia - Turn On The Lights

Up 7 to number 40

Rosa Linn - Snap

Up 3 to number 23

Eliza Rose - BOTA (Baddest Of Them All)

Non-mover at number 2

Aitch ft. Ed Sheeran - My G
