Top of the Pops, 28th November 2024

A few Christmas favourites are starting to encroach into the chart, but Top of the Pops is holding its festive horses for now.

Elsewhere there are strong showings for tracks from the recent albums by Tyler the Creator and Linkin Park, an oddball 80s reswizzling by PAWSA, and Gracie Abrams continuing her dream autumn at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 7th November 2024

Incredible scenes this week as the number 1 single is... not Sabrina Carpenter! Instead it's Gigi Perez, capping off one of the more impressive chart climbs of the year with (at least) a week at the very top. Sabrina is not to be defeated completely though, as newer hit Bed Chem is looming ominously in the lower reaches of the top ten.

Other big news includes a big new entry from Lady Gaga, and the release of Tyler the Creator's album, sampled here with two choice tracks. Addison Rae doubles up as well, adding new hit Aquamarine to the still-climbing Diet Pepsi.
