Top of the Pops, 28th March 2024

It's quite a male line-up this week, with only Ava Max flying the female flag - even the first lady of country and western Beyonce has been knocked off the top spot in favour of Benson Boone and his questionable gender politics. Still, there are fairly storming performances from hoary growlers Teddy Swims and Rag 'N' Bone Man, and a more polished offering from V.

Noah Kahan makes a surprise return to the show, and the show is somewhat stolen by none other than Mark Knopfler and a stage full of six-string virtuosi.

Heeeeere's some more new Ariana Grande, but she can't quite make it to the top and dislodge Beyonce, who is still here in a corn pone hat to recite the list of cliches from her country music mood board.

The big winner at the BRITs is also the big performer on Top Of The Pops this week: Best New Act (among other things) RAYE celebrates ten years in the biz with three chart climbers, performed in an exclusive medley.

Also performing two tracks are Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign, whose latest batch of hits seems to have more chart staying power than usual. And there are new chart peaks for Djo, and Benson Boone's throaty woman-as-object anthem. Beyonce remains at number 1 and is joined by another classic country act for extra authenticity.
