Top of the Pops, 30th January 2025

Just like that, after a slow start, the 2025 chart picture explodes into colour. There's a richly deserved new number 1 from Lola Young, a big new entry for Central Cee, and exciting chart climbers from Doechii and Sam Barber. Plus a double header from international megastar Bad Bunny.

Sam Fender is also coming back up the chart, though his singles success doesn't yet match the size of his media profile or the live crowds he plays to. There's still a bit of 2024 continuity as well, from two of the artists of last year, Gracie Abrams and Teddy Swims.

More Barbie! This week it's the turn of Charli XCX, plus the OG Barbie girls Aqua in the From The Vault slot with a classic performance. Another theme of the summer has been ripping off/homaging Robert Miles, kept up this time by Bou and Slay. And another theme has been Dave and Central Cee at the top of the charts, which shows no sign of being discontinued.

Going international, we've got Travis Scott and Bad Bunny, as well as Noah Kahn and the New York resident ZAYN. Stormzy and RAYE's superstar team-up is the highest new entry.

Friends of the show Little Mix are back, assisted by Nicki Minaj this time. The multicollaborations seem endless at the moment: here's DJ Snake backing up two fairly big-name vocalists plus debutant Osuna, while even without French Montana the Sigala track is pretty much a party.

In a week with a lot of chart climbers, several tracks that have been around for a while get to make their TOTP debuts. Foremost is Cardi B, alongside her buds Bad Bunny and J Balvin - and Balvin makes it a two for one by guesting on the Liam Payne track as well.

David Guetta also makes good on a threat of some weeks' standing, performing his song with newcomer Brooks and also Flames - Sia isn't here but he blasts out a bit of the instrumental.

Post Malone storms the chart with fresh material, and Dua Lipa celebrates her fourth consecutive week on the show by bringing IDGAF out of mothballs alongside the song of the moment, One Kiss.
