Top of the Pops, 25th April 2024

There's lots of chart activity this week, with friend of the show Dua Lipa and the first solo single from Perrie (Edwards) (from Little Mix) both crashing the top ten - but neither with as much of a jolt as Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso.

There are also chart inroads being made by David Guetta and the exciting new talent Chappell Roan, while Mark Ambor reaches another new chart peak. Clementine Douglas is here with a solo, Madonna-less version of Happier. And the world-weary stylings of Hozier are still at number 1.
