Top of the Pops, 7th April 2022

It's one of those strange weeks where there isn't a lot of movement at the top of the chart, which means that the show is mainly populated by hits from the teens, 20s and 30s. That's no bad thing, though, since it gives recent hits from Russ Millions, Liilz and Becky Hill a second airing, and allows room to showcase the high climber from Potter Payper and the new one from Tate McRae.

The brightest star power comes from friend of the show Camila Cabello, who gives us a solo performance of Bam Bam and then sticks around to join in the lambada bits of the A1 and J1 song. Dave makes it a round four weeks at number 1.

Fully half of the show this week is new British rap smashes: A1 and J1, Russ Millions, Arrdee and especially Dave who teleports in at the very top to mean that finally, no one is talking about Bruno.

As the Christmas faves disappear with a poof, all the big non-Christmas hits of the time stampede back into the top chart places. That means a high-quality TOTP with almost every featured song being in the top ten.

Adele occupies the castle but Ed Sheeran is still hammering at the gates, this week deploying new single Overpass Graffiti to try to shift her.

With Olivia Rodrigo capsizing all the way down to number 18 this week, the top ten is finally showing some movement. One beneficiary is Nathan Evans, but we all get to enjoy a high-quality show featuring a lot of very big hits.

With KSI busy performing his new track with Yungblud, Anne-Marie brings us an acoustic version of Don't Play. There's also a double performance by Doja Cat (plus Saweetie) and a riotous exclusive from RAYE and her compadres D-Block Europe.

Top of the Pops, 4th March 2021

The top ten is fairly static this week, which means the show can feature some lower-down hits that have been waiting a few weeks for their chance. That means welcoming Duncan Laurence, as well as the latest hit from Ava Max. Glass Animals are back on the show and it's nice to see Ella Henderson, duetting here with Tom Grennan. Transatlantic star power comes from Cardi B, Doja Cat and of course the immovable Olivia Rodrigo at the top.
