Top of the Pops, 20th February 2025

There's a mix of the old and new this week: Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan bring us some of the enduringly loved tracks from last year, while exciting chart inroads are made by Lisa, Alex Warren, and the perfect match of Kendrick Lamar and SZA.

It's a very 2024 show this week. All the big pop women of the moment are present: Charli, Chappell and Billie, plus relative newcomer Gracie Abrams at a new peak, total newcomer (as a solo artist) Jennie, and elder stateswoman and friend of the show Ariana Grande.

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 3rd October 2024

Sabrina Carpenter really is unshiftable at the top of the chart. The rest of the top ten are all locked behind her, so the highest other track featured this week is Gigi Perez, who reaches a new chart peak at 11.

Further down we have Coldplay with their MC Hammer tribute "We Pray", plus a solo debut for Addison Rae and a double-header for ace bubbler-under Alex Warren. Plus a welcome drop-in from international megastar Billie Eilish.

Fifth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Adam Driver

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2024

With Sabrina Carpenter still at the top and the returning Oasis charging into the top ten as well, here's another week where most of the top 40 is nudged down and some of the lower-charting hits get a chance to shine. That means the long-awaited return of friends of the show Clean Bandit, as well as slow climbers from Kid Laroi, Zach Bryan and Benson Boone (by name as well as by nature).

Gigi Perez is here with a reprise of popular word-of-mouth hit Sailor Song, and Billie Eilish gives us another look at the dreamy Birds Of A Feather.

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 5th September 2024

This week, more than any yet, belongs to Sabrina Carpenter. Her third release in a row breezes into the number 1 slot, and the other two swarm up behind it leaving everyone else to battle it out for fourth. She performs a charming medley of all three year-defining songs on the show.

The rest of the chart sees a lot of downward shuffling, which means that the viewers get a deep dive into the lower reaches, with pretty interesting results. There's the new single from Coldplay, a quietly building old cover version by Disturbed, and a debut from Alex Warren. Oasis are in the From The Vault slot, and Billie Eilish and a stripped-down version of Free by just Ellie Goulding round out the line-up.

Debuts: Alex Warren

Coldplay - Feelslikeimfallinginlove / We Pray

Up 4 to number 29 / In at number 44

Billie Eilish - Wildflower

Top of the Pops, 15th August 2024

Brat summer has definitely arrived! Charli XCX makes an Olympic pole vault to number 1, with a little help from Billie Eilish. She and Chappell Roan help friend of the show Benson Boone out with a fun reimagining of Beautiful Things as well.

With a lot of foot-shuffling in the middle of the chart, a few lower-down tracks can be featured: the new tracks from Sonny Fodera and Hanumakind, a joyful reprise from Coldplay, and a double header from bright young thing Gracie Abrams. Kehlani is also here to guest on the Jordan Adetunji track - their first TOTP appearance for five years.

Debuts: Hanumakind, Kalmi

Top of the Pops, 1st August 2024

Lots of people making moves on the charts this week. There are two big entries from former group members, for Jade (Little Mix) and Jimin (BTS). There are new chart peaks for adult-contemporary trendsetters Myles Smith and Benson Boone. There's a big rush, as the brat summer builds, for Charli XCX. And Billie Eilish hits number 2 and brings along another new track as a bonus.

Central Cee is here with another guest rapper to fill in for Lil Baby. But the most impressive of all is Miss 2024 Sabrina Carpenter, who knocks herself off the top to give Please Please Please a second run to follow the second run of Espresso. Wow.

Debuts: Jade (as solo)

Top of the Pops, 20th June 2024

Sabrina Carpenter is still kept off the top by Eminem, but she does have the highest new entry this week, giving her two songs in the top 3. Speaking of follow-ups, RAYE is back with the sequel or coda to last year's all-conquering album. There are also debuts for Flex (UK) and Gracie Abrams.

Queen Taylor Swift drops in as well for a double header, although it's interesting that  the track from ages ago is actually higher in the chart than the one from her latest album.

Debuts: Flex (UK), Gracie Abrams

Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 6th June 2024

The 2024 trend of rootsiness continues, with Zach Bryan entering the chart and a double performance from the man who might have started it all (?), Teddy Swims. Some variation is provided by Bring Me The Horizon's metalish rock and Central Cee's mid-Atlantic rap sound, plus Billie Eilish with another song from her album following the double bill last week.

None of that multifarious authenticity, however, can dislodge the incongruously breezy Sabrina Carpenter from number 1. Five weeks now!

Top of the Pops, 30th May 2024

It's a Billie Eilish week this week. Although she doesn't quite do enough to knock Sabrina Carpenter off the top (yet), she dominates the top ten with three hits from her new album, two of which are performed on the show. Also doubling up is Natasha Bedingfield, both of whose resurrected bangers are climing the chart this week.

There are also new tracks from Gunna and Tems, and reprises from NewEra and Hozier, plus a tribute to Amy Winehouse to fit in with the new film about her.

Heeeeere's some more new Ariana Grande, but she can't quite make it to the top and dislodge Beyonce, who is still here in a corn pone hat to recite the list of cliches from her country music mood board. Elsewhere it's a strong week for debuts - no fewer than four - and Billie Eilish, riding her Oscar recognition, brings us a special chamber orchestra version of What Was I Made For.

Debuts: 4Batz, Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners, Pozer, Dasha

Finally, Billie Eilish ascends to the number 1 spot and plants the pink Barbie flag atop the chart peak. Also making waves are Olivia Rodrigo with the second song from her new album, and a strong new entry from Fred Again.

In dance music news, Calvin Harris and Peggy Gou join the new one from Sonny Fodera, and there's a nice double bill from Taylor Swift.

Top of the Pops, 10th August 2023

The Barbie chart domination is now almost at pre-Christmas Christmas song levels - half of this week's line-up comes from the multi-platform entertainment phenomenon. Three songs crash the top five, although they still can't shift Dave and Central Cee from the very top.

The biggest non-Barbie offering is the new Travis Scott album, and he is here to perform a three-song sampler. Calvin Harris and Sam Smith have also teamed up again, and we pay tribute to Sinead O'Connor.

This week there are two acts making their debuts: Arz and Oliver Tree. The resurgent Glass Animals hit yet another new high, while Central Cee (with samplee Pinkpantheress guesting in person this week) also climbs more or less as high as you can without being in the Ed Sheeran tier.

Uptempo fun is provided by Joel, Jax, Charli and Saweetie, and look - Billie Eilish is back with her Bond theme now that the film has finally come out.

Yes, who better to knock Ed Sheeran off number 1 than King Ed Sheeran himself? He's not the only new entry on the show, though - Central Cee, CKay, Mimi Webb and another one from Drake are all represented too.

In other megastar news, Elton John and Dua Lipa are back and cruising regally into the top five. Rain Radio and l'esprit des 2020 Billie Eilish join them in making return visits.

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.

Debuts: Pinkpantheress

Top of the Pops, 22nd July 2021

Things really are getting football crazy now. After the Lightning Seeds and Fat Les last week, footy fever now propels Atomic Kitten and Neil Diamond into the top 20. That makes up a quarter of an unusually fresh line-up, with only the Jonasu song and of course Ed Sheeran at number 1 having been featured already this year.

It's perhaps surprising that it's taken until July for Stormzy to make his first 2021 appearance. He's one of a trio of huge names who return to the show this week, alongside Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish. Arguably BTS as well.

Debuts: None

BTS - Permission To Dance
