Top of the Pops, 17th October 2024

There's still no stopping Miss 2024 Sabrina Carpenter: she powers through the six-week barrier to capture a seventh week at number 1 with Taste (to add to all those other weeks with her other hits already this year). And not only that: she fills in alongside Bruno Mars, as Lady Gaga is off promoting her Joker musical madhouse film.

Elsewhere we have the return of international megastar Jimin, a nice slowed-down candlelight performance from Jazzy, and a big new entry from KSI. Plus a new chart peak for Addison Rae and a look back into the past with Crowded House.

The reborn Linkin Park open and close the show this week, performing their big climber Heavy Is The Crown and also adding to a thrashed-up exclusive version of Sabrina Carpenter's sempiternal number 1 Taste. Also doubling up a friends of the show Coldplay, who throw in a bit of Yellow as a nice surprise alongside their current hit, and Nines, who has two hits making headway lower down the rundown.

The biggest new entry of the week comes from The Weeknd and the biggest non-Carpenter chart achievement has to be Noah Kahan, who celebrates a year on the hit parade for Stick Season.
