Top of the Pops, 5th October 2017

Sam Smith holds firm at number 1, apparently only just keeping Post Malone and 21 Savage at bay (though they aren't on the show this week because they appeared last time). He's joined by fellow top ten entrants Camila Cabello, James Hype, Rita Ora and ZAYN (who's also joined by Ora, standing in for Sia).

We also have a lovely solo performance of Hurtin' Me by Stefflon Don, the debut of Big Shaq, and a moving return for Logic and Alessia Cara with their mental health anthem.

Debuts: Big Shaq.

Top of the Pops, 21st September 2017

What Taylor Swift can do, Sam Smith can also do. Too Good At Goodbyes drops in to say hello to the top spot, blowing everything else away. Other big new entries are from ZAYN (with the versatile Alessia Cara exclusively subbing for the absent Sia) and none other than Kelly Clarkson, while the new ones from friends of the show Jason Derulo and Rita Ora both creep into the top 30 for the first time.

If that's not enough, we have the delightful Stefflon Don, and the mental health anthem from Logic. His guest vocalist Khalid has a couple of other hits lower down the chart, so maybe we'll be seeing more of him in future weeks.

Debuts: Khalid, Young Thug.

Top of the Pops, 13th April 2017

We are favoured with a few special performances this week. Friends of the show Coldplay are here for a heartfelt, Chainsmokerless rendition of Something Just Like This. Skip Marley turns up without Katy Perry to turn Chained To The Rhythm into a raggamuffin riot. And Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson do a two-song medley, with Mr Marley popping up again to fill in for Sean Paul.

We've also got a run-down of the biggest hits of the day from Jax Jones, Alessia Cara and Julia Michaels, and a rare sighting of international megastar Kendrick Lamar. Captain Ed is still number 1.

Top of the Pops, 23rd March 2017

The post-Sheermageddon era, week 1. As demand for Divide eases somewhat, the more popular non-Ed tracks regroup and make modest rises, so this week's show is a bit of a showcase for most of the main current hits. That means Rag 'n' Bone Man, Coldplay and the 'Smokers, Jax Jones and the newish one from Zedd and Alessia Cara.

It also means Kygo and Selena Gomez, but Selena is elsewhere so who better to fill in than Captain Ed himself? He also closes the show with another album sampler - eight tracks from Divide have now been featured.

However, the biggest news for long-time fans is the return of the mighty Steps. They have this week's highest new entry, which is good for one more TOTP appearance.

Debuts: None.

Zedd ft. Alessia Cara - Stay

High Climber - Up 15 to number 23

Jax Jones ft. RAYE - You Don't Know Me

Up 5 to number 17

Steps - Scared of the Dark

Highest New Entry - In at number 37

Calvin Harris ft. Migos - Slide

Up 4 to number 19

Rag 'N' Bone Man - Human

Up 2 to number 14

Chainsmokers vs Coldplay - Something Just Like This

Up 3 to number 4

Kygo ft. Ed Sheeran - It Ain't Me

Up 3 to number 18

Top of the Pops, 9th March 2017

So far this year it's mostly been the Ed Sheeran show, but while this week's TOTP contains a certain amount of Ed, the week really belongs to Stormzy. His entire album has invaded the chart so he treats us to three tracks here, and also pops up at the end of the show for his feature on the Sheeran remix.

It's a little surprising that a new Calvin Harris track is the week's second or third biggest story, but he's here, undaunted, with all his collaborators (including a low-key TOTP debut for the feted Frank Ocean). We also have friends of the show Little Mix and Dua Lipa, another appearance from Rag 'N' Bone Man, and some solid numbers-making-up from Maroon 5.

Debuts: Frank Ocean, Ghetts, J Hus

Calvin Harris ft. Frank Ocean and Migos - Slide

In at number 10

Stormzy ft. Ghetts and J Hus - Big For Your Boots / Cold / Bad Boys

Up 11 to number 6 / Highest New Entry - In at number 21 / In at number 22

Rag 'N' Bone Man - Skin

Up 2 to number 18

Zedd ft. Alessia Cara - Stay

In at number 33

Little Mix - Shout Out To My Ex

Up 4 to number 32

Maroon 5 - Cold

Up 8 to number 24

Martin Garrix ft. Dua Lipa - Scared To Be Lonely

Up 1 to number 15

Ed Sheeran ft. Stormzy - Shape Of You

Eighth week at number 1

Top of the Pops, 18th February 2016

There are no new entries at all in the top 40 this week. However, there are a lot of climbers - many of them the same songs as were rising a fortnight ago, so we welcome back Little Mix, Zara Larsson, Alessia Cara, Jason Derulo and Ellie Goulding, as well as Lukas Graham who vault straight into the top spot. It's as pure pop a line-up as you'll see on the show, and many of the repeat performers are good enough to drop in little twists to change things up. Ellie Goulding is backed by a German oompah band.

Filling out the line-up are friends of the show Kygo and Coldplay, the latter fresh from their Superbowl triumph-style event.

Debuts: None.

Little Mix ft. Jason Derulo - Secret Love Song

Up 4 to number 7

Alessia Cara - Here

Up 1 to number 31

Kygo ft. Maty Noyes - Stay

Up 2 to number 22

Coldplay - Adventure Of A Lifetime

Up 7 to number 11

Zara Larsson - Lush Life

Up 3 to number 16

Ellie Goulding - Army

Up 8 to number 20

Jason Derulo - Get Ugly

Up 5 to number 12

Lukas Graham - 7 Years

Up 6 to number 1

Top of the Pops, 4th February 2016

Excitement: this week sees a big chart shake-up with a host of new faces. We say hello to Alessia Cara, Lukas Graham and Elle King, as well as welcoming back Zara Larsson for her first solo hit.

There's newness and familiarity in one from our highest new entry, a dance-banger Tracy Chapman cover from Jonas Blue, and friend of the show Ellie Goulding's longish-running minor hit finally rises high enough to get her back on the show. Shawn Mendes holds steady at number 1.

Debuts: Jonas Blue, Dakota, Alessia Cara, Lukas Graham, Elle King, Zara Larsson (as solo).
