Top of the Pops, 26th February 2026

A couple of cross-media events dominate the show this week (a bit like the Superbowl last week). First we have the Wuthering Heights film: a not-so-bratty Charli XCX performs two of her songs from the soundtrack. And then there's the BRIT Awards bounce for acts including Harry Styles, the K-Pop Demon Hunters, and even Olivia Dean, whose Sam Fender collab skips up to number 1 after around nine months on the chart.

Elsewhere there's a new entry for Bella Kay, a strong chart climb for Dominic Fike, and a second appearance for Bruno Mars's latest cheeky offering. Perhaps the most unexpected appearance is Milky, back from the 00s thanks to a new remix.

Top of the Pops, 5th February 2026

For the second week in a row the top 40 offers very few climbers, so several of the guests are probably quite surprised to have been invited. We've got a couple of the big hits from last year (or before?) from Ravyn Lenae and Chappell Roan, decent entries from M Huncho, Fredo and Fred Again, and a classy debut performance from Ella Langley.

Bucking the trend are two strong new entries from stalwarts the Arctic Monkeys and Harry Styles, the latter straight in at number 1.

Debuts: Ella Langley

Fred Again ft. Young Thug - Scared

In at number 55

Arctic Monkeys - Opening Night

In at number 16

Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas

Up 20 to number 51

Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club

Up 10 to number 48

Ravyn Lenae - Love Me Not
