Top of the Pops, 6th March 2025

Tate McRae's album is out, and after building her following for a while she has a strong chart showing; she performs the biggest hit and the biggest new one. Also new is the Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco track, while Aitch and Bou rave their way into the top 40 for the first time.

Kendrick Lamar holds steady at number 1, just pipping eternal number 2 artiste Chappell Roan, and Lady Gaga keeps her place in the top 5.

Top of the Pops, 13th February 2025

Some nice climbs this week: friend of the show The Weeknd entering the top ten, Doechii and Chappell Roan entering the top 20, and the banger from Aitch and Bou scraping into the top 40. Grammy winner Charli XCX is here too, and Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss also returns to the chart.

Wow. After a lot of reprises so far this year, this week's show has almost a full house of new entries! That means British rap from Central Cee and Aitch, US rap from Travis Scott and Sexxy Red, pop from Tate McRae, dance from BL3SS, and even a bit of good old rock from Sam Fender. Nice selection, British public!

The only repeat performer is the still-fresh-feeling Lola Young, who makes it a fortnight at the top.

Top of the Pops, 1st February 2024

Immovable at the top just now, Noah Kahan also has this week's highest new entry, so Sam Fender joins him in a double bill to close the show. Just before that Sophie Ellis-Bextor celebrates her continued resurgence with a special contemporary update of Murder On The Dancefloor.

There's also a debut for Songer, a return for friend of the show Becky Hill, and a slightly rum collaboration from The Weeknd. And were it not for Bextor, Natasha Bedingfield would be attracting quite a lot of attention for her own triumphant comeback - can she breach the top ten?

PRESENTER: Lauren Layfield

Top of the Pops, 12th January 2023

It's the weird post-Christmas chart where all the tinsel gets cleared out and the normal music floods back in to take its place. That means newish material from Central Cee and SZA, older 2022 bangers from Anne-Marie and Venbee and Goddard, and a very old, hoary and well-tested number from Tom Odell.

All the congratulations in the world to RAYE. It's been a long journey but here she is at the top.

Top of the Pops, 24th November 2022

The show is bristling with exclusives and one-off performances this week. No less names than Stormzy and Taylor Swift (with Lana Del Rey along for the ride) both perform two-track showcases of their recent albums, while Aitch and Anne-Marie stick around after doing their own song to join David Guetta and breathe new life into his Blue reimagining, UK style.

To add to that, there are chartbreakers from Bugzy Malone and Tiesto, and warm welcomes back for the tracks of the moment from Oliver Tree and Dermot Kennedy.

Debuts: Teedee

Top of the Pops, 13th October 2022

Who should have the highest new entry this week but King Ed Sheeran, as unstoppable as ever. KSI and the good old Arctic Monkeys also have new chart hits, DV4D reaches a new peak, and we welcome back Cian Ducrot and friend of the show Anne-Marie. Sam Smith and Kim Petras are still at number one with the scariest, perviest dirge to hit the top since Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Top of the Pops, 29th September 2022

A big welcome back for friend of the show Anne-Marie! Aitch guests on her song, and he's also here on his own track alongside King Ed Sheeran, so it all joins up. Also returning are international stars BlackPink with their second hit of the year, and Rosa Linn, who's showing a lot of staying power for a Eurovision hit.

Our debutant this week Montell Fish, and unqualified congratulations must go to David Guetta and Bebe Rexha for jumping up to number 1, whatever the material is like.

Top of the Pops, 1st September 2022

We've had a summer with a fair few long-running hits but things get shaken up a bit as we go into the autumn. Nicky Youre is a new face, BlackPink are back after a long gap, Fred Again has crept into the top 40 and there's a big new hit from Aitch and King Ed Sheeran. Even Harry Styles hasn't been on for a bit.

Some continuity is provided by a second appearance from Rosa Linn and the immovable constant of LF System at number 1, still holding Eliza Rose at bay.

Top of the Pops, 2nd June 2022

The chart this week belongs to Harry Styles, who pulls off a rare 1-2-3 clean sweep; he performs all three tracks here. In addition, Mimi Webb joins King Ed Sheeran for a special performance of Bam Bam, and music legends N-Dubz make their long-awaited TOTP debut if you can believe that.

Top of the Pops, 28th April 2022

A slight drop in pressure at the top of the chart allows us to catch up with some of the songs that have been racking up impressive recent runs in and around the top ten: Belters Only, Mimi Webb, Jax and MNEK, and especially Aitch who this time brings along Ashanti in person. She's still got it.

The highest new entry is from Lauren Spencer-Smith, and Harry Styles marks his third week at the top with a performance themed around Disney's Lion King.

Top of the Pops, 24th March 2022

There's lots of fresh material climbing the chart this week. There are new entries from Aitch and Megan Thee Stallion, a huge leap for Liilz and Ziezie, and slow-climbing tracks finally getting some attention from Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Becky Hill and friend of the show Camila Cabello.

King Ed Sheeran treats us to a solo hit as well as jerkily performing his bit of the Cabello number, while Dave holds on at number 1.

Debuts: Liilz

Top of the Pops, 17th February 2022

The show couldn't be much more varied this week: we've got dance-pop, pop-pop, US rap, UK rap, US rock, UK rock, and a show tune to cap it all off. Even Liam Gallagher pops up for the first time in a year or so.

PRESENTER: Lorraine Kelly

Top of the Pops, 8th July 2021

King Ed Sheeran is back, and his chart position could probably have been predicted: Olivia Rodrigo's seemingly immovable object finally meets the true irresistible force. Less predictable this year has been the runaway success of Maneskin, who are back with their third hit this week and also guest with friends of the show Little Mix for a rockin' heartbreak anthem.

Tones & I has been in the chart's lower reaches for a while, so it's good to be able to feature her current single. There's also a debut for Jonasu and a classy trio of new entries from Aitch, Tyler the Creator and Doja Cat.

Debuts: Jonasu

Tones & I - Fly Away

Up 9 to number 33

PRESENTERS: Abz Breen and Richie Neville

Top of the Pops, 15th October 2020

We've got several urban-type chartbreakers this week, from Bryson Tiller (with the obligatory Drake feature), Wes Nelson and Hardy Caprio, and most of all an Aitch-assisted D-Block Europe. More reflectively, Shawn Mendes reappears with Wonder, and friend of the show Dua Lipa is levitating back up the chart with more of her future-nostalgic sounds.

24KGoldn and Iann Dior are unmoveable at the top. Sigala and James Arthur are also back.

Debuts: Wes Nelson.

Top of the Pops, 19th March 2020

Well. With concerts, events and gatherings of all kinds being cancelled, Top of the Pops errs on the side of prudence and does the (almost) unthinkable: drops the studio. Instead we get a mix of archive footage (The Weeknd), concert footage (Eminem) and jolly low-fi Skype-type pop-ins (Dua Lipa, the welcome return of Anne-Marie, Da Beatfreakz in a multi-window Zoom-style scenario).

The week's relatively rich crop of debutants will have to wait for their big studio moments, but it can't be helped.

Debuts: Tay Keith, Deno, 24KGoldn

Anne-Marie - Birthday

PRESENTERS: Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden (in their kitchens)

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2020

We're still ground to a halt near the top of the chart, so most of the interest is lower down, including a couple of rare invitees from outside the top 40. Not that that means a drop in star power: BTS are a pretty big name after all.

The exception is Eminem (with beyond-the-grave support from Juice WRLD) who crashes in at the top spot. Still got it.

Debuts: None

Young T and Bugsey ft Headie One - Don't Rush

Top of the Pops, 31st October 2019

A few long-running hits finally get over the TOTP appearance threshold: Lizzo's Good As Hell (an Ariana Grande remix will do it), Maroon 5's Memories and Riton's Turn Me On. Meduza and Goodboys are also making some serious inroads and friend of the show Aitch is here once again, but not even King Ed Sheeran can knock Tones & I off the summit.

Debuts: Vula

Ed Sheeran and Camila Cabello - South Of The Border

Top of the Pops, 17th October 2019

Fear not, Ed Sheeran fans: the king only misses one week before coming back with the next song on his collabo conveyor belt, this time featuring Cardi B and friend of the show Camila Cabello. But Tones & I is holding on to the top spot for now, despite strong competition from Travis Scott.

Dave, Aitch and Jorja Smith provide yet another strong britrap/britrnb contingent, and we have three songs from Summer Walker, whose album has had a big impact slightly further down the chart.

Debuts: Summer Walker

Aitch ft. Ziezie - Buss Down

Up 5 to number 20

PRESENTERS: Harry and Jamie Redknapp

Top of the Pops, 10th October 2019

There are a lot of familiar faces on the show this week - Sam Smith, chart mastodon Lewis Capaldi, Post Malone, friend of the show Aitch - but one thing we did NOT expect was the number 1. Tones & I leaps like Katarina Johnson-Thompson to take the top spot, so maximum credit to her.

Debuts: None

Post Malone - Circles

Lewis Capaldi - Bruises

Highest Re-Entry - In at number 11
