Top of the Pops, 26th November 2020

The big new hit this week is from Billie Eilish, who just misses out on dethroning Queen Ariana Grande but makes significant waves none the less. Also new to the show is CJ, who makes his big chart charge after hovering around the lower reaches for a few weeks.

James Arthur is never off the show lately and this week is no exception. Another of the stories of the year, 24KGolden, is also here to reprise his big hit, and Baccara are dug up out of the vault for some reason.

Top of the Pops, 5th November 2020

After several weeks of mostly slow climbers, today sees fireworks as three songs zoom straight into the top ten: friends of the show Little Mix, KSI, and right at the top Ariana Grande making her big return.

That pushes a lot of other songs downwards, meaning we're also able to feature several acts from lower down the top 40, including a rare sighting of actual guitars in the hands of Bring Me The Horizon. Central Cee makes his debut, and there are welcome pop-ins from Jax Jones and Sam Smith.

Debuts: Central Cee.

Top of the Pops, 13th September 2018

Another new number 1: this time it's the low-key banger from Calvin Harris and Sam Smith nipping ahead of the competition. Though perhaps bigger chart waves are made by Eminem, The Ringer spearheading a trio of new entries from his latest album.

Elsewhere, Freya Ridings finally makes the cut in her eighth week on the chart, and there are reprises of long-running hits from B Young, CamelPhat and friend of the show Anne-Marie (sans Guetta this time). And there's a special appearance from supergroup LSD: Labrinth, Sia and Diplo if you're wondering.

Top of the Pops, 16th August 2018

A strange week. Partly because of a chart attack by Travis Scott (who performs his biggest two tracks tonight) there are very few climbers in the top 40, so we delve down into the lower reaches and dig up some sparklers. These include several tunes that have been patiently awaiting their breakthroughs for a while, from the likes of CamelPhat, Anne-Marie and Steel Banglez.

Drake holds steady at the top, and Juice Wrld continues to mope his way towards the top ten.

Debuts: Hardy Caprio, One Acen

David Guetta ft. Anne-Marie - Don't Leave Me Alone

Up 4 to number 42

Bazzi ft. Camila Cabello - Beautiful
