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?

There's another strong showing for dance music this week: Sonny Fodera, MK, Peggy Gou and Chase & Status are all climbing the chart once more with tracks that have entertained us since midsummer. Chase & Status go all out this week with a double track performance and guest appearances from some true jungle legends.

There's also UK rap from Nines, US rap from Gunna, rock from Blink 182 and impassioned singing from Tom Odell. Doja Cat gives us an extra something from the album as she celebrates a month at the top of the chart.

Dance music has had a great year so far, and this week two veterans of the field each have two tracks to perform - step forward MK (with a cheeky appearance for longtime friend of the show Rita Ora) and Chase and Status.

Burna Boy and Dave have a new track, and Casso, RAYE and the D-Block lads return with a nice chart jump, but the big accolades go to a trio of big name female singers: Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez both enter the chart and Olivia Rodrigo hops up to number 1.

After last week's pink dominance, this week Doja Cat's return paints the TOTP studio red. Chase and Status also have a big climber to go alongside their now top ten hit alongside Becky Hill, and several hits from earlier in the summer are climbing back up the chart.

Dave and Central Cee make it ten weeks at the top - often the end of the road for number 1s due to the chart rules. They rope in some other guests to make the performance a memorable one.

Top of the Pops, 27th July 2023

Barbiemania is starting to ramp up: after Dua Lipa last week, there are two tracks this week from the pink-hued doll movie. Also of note is the debut solo single from Jung Kook, and there are strong new entries from Becky Hill, J Hus, and Troye Sivan with his first real hit for a while.

Top of the Pops, 15th June 2023

There are second appearances this week for three tracks that are showing more chart staying power than perhaps might have been expected: the Eurovision winner Loreen, plus Kylie Minogue and Lana Del Rey, who in recent years have often both seen their high chart entries drop down in subsequent weeks. Not this time!

There's also a healthy dose of dance music from Hannah Laing and Becky Hill (unbelievably, the dance queen's first appearance this year), as well as a sighting of Jorja Smith. It's always nice to welcome Madonna back to the show, but perhaps the biggest news is Dave and Central Cee's superstar team-up finally knocking Calvin and Ellie off the top.

Debuts: Hannah Laing, RoRo, Lewis Thompson

Beyonce is the big chart disruptor this week, smashing in with two new songs and boosting the already large hit Break My Soul at the same time. She performs a double-header here.

This week belongs to Calvin Harris, who is able to bring five famous friends to perform two tracks from his current album, if the audience isn't already exhausted by the likes of Bru-C, David Guetta and Becky Hill and Charli XCX.

Kate Bush is still at the top of the hill, though she's yet to be tempted into the studio: we have to make do with the video once again.

Top of the Pops, 12th May 2022

It's a very American show this week. There are two more products of the current endless US ballad factory from Benson Boone and Ruth B, plus a somewhat funner effort from Lizzo and the latest mega-team-up from Future and Drake (and Tems).

Top of the Pops, 21st April 2022

Harry Styles continues to fry all opposition with the force of his pure loveliness, even Jack Harlow who can only reach number 2 (still hugely impressive from him). Not too shabby either is Cat Burns, who makes the top five for the first time.

There's a raft of new tracks on the show this week, including Digga D, Vibe Chemistry and Becky Hill and Ella Henderson trying to out-belt each other, plus a Tyga/Doja Cat collaboration that's spent a few weeks in the lower reaches already. Doja sticks around to exclusively do the Fergie bits for Jack Harlow as well, which is nice.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

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.

Debuts: Potter Payper, Tiggs Da Author

PRESENTER: Miquita Oliver

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.

Top of the Pops, 21st October 2021

Many, many congratulations to Elton John and Dua Lipa for doing what many thought impossible and deposing King Ed Sheeran from number 1 - for the moment at least. Their track has a very old-school feel about it, not only because it's a combination of older songs but because it's climbed to number 1 by building popularity with the general public. Fancy.

Elsewhere we've got a debut from Ewan McVicar and a sort-of debut for Jesy Nelson, plus a double-header from Sam Fender who makes a bit of a chart breakthrough this week. The Willow and Tyler Cole (aka The Anxiety) track is also climbing impressively. And why is Adele back in the chart?

Lil Nas X is riding a wave this week, with two songs in the top ten. We also welcome an ebullient Taylor Swift, busy reclaiming the rights to more songs, as well as friends of the show The Weeknd and Becky Hill.

Top of the Pops, 9th September 2021

Momentarily taking some of the spotlight from King Ed Sheeran, none other than Kanye West blusters into town, riding a wave of three big instahits from his latest album. But even their star power might not quite match up to the combined wattage of Elton John and Dua Lipa. Or from a global perspective, BTS.

In addition, there's let another new track from hit machine Doja Cat, a David Guetta song that's been bubbling under for the last six weeks, and a very impressive chart climb by Glass Animals. And dancefloor royalty Becky Hill raises the tempo as always.

Top of the Pops, 12th August 2021

It's a bit of a catch-up week this week, as we welcome back some of the biggest tracks of the last month or so. That includes Jonasu, Becky Hill, Kid Laroi and Bieber, and of course King Ed Sheeran. The Weeknd too, who has been in or around the top ten for absolutely ages.

There are two new chart breakers, though. We welcome back the soul of the 2020s Billie Eilish, and there's a debut appearance for the exciting Pinkpantheress.
