Top of the Pops, 19th September 2024

There's still a bit of kick left in the brat summer: Charli XCX is on again with a solo version of her former number 1, plus a breezy interpolation of Apple. Chappell Roan has a double bill as well, but the biggest news of the week might be the storming new entry from Linkin Park.

Friend of the show RAYE is here as well, filling in for Lady Gaga alongside Bruno Mars as well as doing her guest turn on the Central Cee song. None other than Sabrina Carpenter is at the top.

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2024

With Sabrina Carpenter still at the top and the returning Oasis charging into the top ten as well, here's another week where most of the top 40 is nudged down and some of the lower-charting hits get a chance to shine. That means the long-awaited return of friends of the show Clean Bandit, as well as slow climbers from Kid Laroi, Zach Bryan and Benson Boone (by name as well as by nature).

Gigi Perez is here with a reprise of popular word-of-mouth hit Sailor Song, and Billie Eilish gives us another look at the dreamy Birds Of A Feather.

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 5th September 2024

This week, more than any yet, belongs to Sabrina Carpenter. Her third release in a row breezes into the number 1 slot, and the other two swarm up behind it leaving everyone else to battle it out for fourth. She performs a charming medley of all three year-defining songs on the show.

The rest of the chart sees a lot of downward shuffling, which means that the viewers get a deep dive into the lower reaches, with pretty interesting results. There's the new single from Coldplay, a quietly building old cover version by Disturbed, and a debut from Alex Warren. Oasis are in the From The Vault slot, and Billie Eilish and a stripped-down version of Free by just Ellie Goulding round out the line-up.

Debuts: Alex Warren

Coldplay - Feelslikeimfallinginlove / We Pray

Up 4 to number 29 / In at number 44

Billie Eilish - Wildflower

Up 2 to number 34

Ellie Goulding - Free

Up 1 to number 41

Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence

Alex Warren - Carry You Home

Up 4 to number 42

Teddy Swims - The Door

Up 1 to number 22

From The Vault: Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger
