Top of the Pops, 18th September 2025

Top of the Pops this week is quite the parade of global megastars: Rihanna, Gaga, Sabrina, Calvin, Justin Bieber... and the popstar of the year so far Olivia Dean doesn't seem out of place in that company. Disco Lines reach another new chart peak, and there's a triple performance from the biggest stars of all, the K-Pop Demon Hunters.

There's a strong international flavour to the line-up this week: Lorde from New Zealand, CMAT from Ireland, the Demon Hunters from Korea, Alex Warren from the US and Rose from Korea (again). Presiding over all, though perhaps not the chart force he once was, is the UK's own King Ed Sheeran.

Scotland does pretty well too, with friend of the show Lewis Capaldi topping the chart and Calvin Harris also turning out. And here's Olivia Dean for the third week in a row: summer of Dean!

Top of the Pops, 22nd May 2025

Some quietly impressive chart climbs this week: Sombr's secondary hit reaches a new peak, and number 1 resident Alex Warren is now just one place short of having two top ten hits at once. Lusty-lunged Benson Boone and Tate McRae are also making progress.

The highest new entry this week comes from Calvin Harris, while Florence and MOLIY also supply dance bangers. And Drake is still hanging about.

Top of the Pops, 10th October 2024

The reborn Linkin Park open and close the show this week, performing their big climber Heavy Is The Crown and also adding to a thrashed-up exclusive version of Sabrina Carpenter's sempiternal number 1 Taste. Also doubling up a friends of the show Coldplay, who throw in a bit of Yellow as a nice surprise alongside their current hit, and Nines, who has two hits making headway lower down the rundown.

The biggest new entry of the week comes from The Weeknd and the biggest non-Carpenter chart achievement has to be Noah Kahan, who celebrates a year on the hit parade for Stick Season.

Linkin Park - Heavy Is The Crown

Top of the Pops, 22nd August 2024

After a summer of Sabrina stability, and a week of Charli, there's more upheaval at the top of the chart as Chase and Status and Stormzy smash into the number 1 spot. It's a pretty dance-heavy week all around in fact, with Adam Port, BL3SS, the Blessed Madonna and the lord of the floor Calvin Harris (again with princess Ellie Goulding) all appearing. The other Madonna, Madonna, is also featured in the from the vault slot.

But despite all that, the show is possibly stolen by a resurgent Jade, performing the slow, angelic, dramatic version of Angel Of My Dreams with piano and orchestra.

Debuts: None

Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding - Free

Up 3 to number 35

Jade - Angel Of My Dreams

Up 8 to number 10

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 28th March 2024

It's quite a male line-up this week, with only Ava Max flying the female flag - even the first lady of country and western Beyonce has been knocked off the top spot in favour of Benson Boone and his questionable gender politics. Still, there are fairly storming performances from hoary growlers Teddy Swims and Rag 'N' Bone Man, and a more polished offering from V.

Noah Kahan makes a surprise return to the show, and the show is somewhat stolen by none other than Mark Knopfler and a stage full of six-string virtuosi.

Debuts: None

Calvin Harris ft. Rag 'N' Bone Man - Lovers In A Past Life

Up 5 to number 14

Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes - Going Home

Top of the Pops, 29th February 2024

Divas upon divas this week. Friend of the show Dua Lipa has the highest new entry, Ariana Grande recruits Mariah Carey for a double diva version of her big-but-not-yet-huge comeback hit, and --yee haw!-- it's country diva Beyonce at number 1.

On the other side of things there's a big return for Calvin Harris and Rag 'N' Bone Man (the latter's first appearance in a couple of years) as well as a couple of debuts and yet another new peak for Teddy Swims. Can he get to the top two? The From The Vault slot is for Bob Marley, as the recent biopic sparks renewed interest in his evergreen catalogue; Could You Be Loved? in particular is a nice choice.

Debuts: Yung Filly, Djo

Dua Lipa - Training Season

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.

Debuts: Ryan Gosling

Top of the Pops, 1st June 2023

Calvin Harris is back in the studio for the proper rave-up version of Miracle as it reaches six weeks at the top. Other dance bangers are brought by Anne-Marie, Rudimental and Switch Disco, and the latter two join Calvin to do a three-way euphoric remix of As It Was as Harry Styles celebrates 60 consecutive weeks on the chart, most of them in the upper reaches.

Two big names have new entries this week: Lana Del Rey and Kylie Minogue both do well with their fresh material. David Kushner is also back with his Hozier-style, inexplicably popular balled.

Top of the Pops, 11th May 2023

It's a big week for Nines, who appears with two new tracks, guest stars in tow - and his hit Tony Soprano from last week is riding high as well. More fresh sounds come from Tyler the Creator, while at the other end of the scale are Glass Animals whose phenomenon of a track has now spent well over two years on the chart.

Friend of the show Zara Larsson is welcomed back, we remember Carlos Santana for some reason, and Calvin and Ellie make it four at the top.

Top of the Pops, 4th May 2023

Once again there are several new entries this week, the pick of them being from newcomer Nines. Lower down Jax Jones and Cupid are both doing well after quite a while on the chart already, and internet personality HSTikkyTokky appears to bewilder the TOTP audience.

Calvin and Ellie pop back up to number 1 following last week's Capaldi surge, and Ellie helps out Rema on an exclusive version of Calm Down too.

Debuts: Cupid, Nines, Hstikkytokky, General G

Top of the Pops, 13th April 2023

In a slightly surprising development, Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding leap up to replace Ed Sheeran at the top after only a week! Elsewhere on the chart a few fallers from near the top mean that some long-running hits get to shuffle up a bit - not least Harry Styles who celebrates a year on the hit parade with a special steel drum-assisted performance.

We're also able to give a first exposure to some hits that have been quietly climbing for a while now, so welcome Tom Grennan, Meghan Trainor, Nathan Dawe and friend of the show Zara Larsson. Mimi Webb also gives us a special extra-dubby version of Red Flags.

Debuts: Bshp

Top of the Pops, 23rd March 2023

It's been a while since a massive track splatted into the top ten but that's what we have this week, as Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding smash down at number 3. It's not enough to best Miley Cyrus though, and her next-best competition seems to come from herself as River is the second highest new entry.

Further down we have Switch Disco with their own Robert Miles homage, well deserved returns from Ayra Starr, Coi LeRay and (at yet another new peak) Lizzy McAlpine, plus the first bit of drill for a while from Digga D. And lovely George Ezra pops in to celebrate the vernal equinox.

Debuts: Switch Disco

The Top of the Pops summer of dance continues, with LF System still at the top and David Guetta, Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Luude and Bru-C joining in the up-tempo fun. Cian Ducrot balances things out a bit with a ballad, and Nicki Minaj brings the highest new entry and a record number of complaints.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 28th July 2022

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. The presence of Drake adds another megastar to the pile, while Steve Lacy makes an assured debut.

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 9th June 2022

It's a big week for returns. Friend of the show Dua Lipa has been pretty quiet this year, but she appears here alongside Calvin Harris. But bigger than that, Lady Gaga is back on the show too! But bigger than that, Kate Bush is back in the chart! So we see one of her classic performances from the 80s.

It was also about time the Lizzo track got a second airing (and she sticks around to help out Jack Harlow), Tion Wayne and Benzz both reprise their recent hits, and Harry Styles is immovable at number 1.

Debuts: None

There are several new entries this week, including the queen of the 2020s Billie Eilish and a pair of British rappers, Arrdee and Tion Wayne. Man of the moment Tom Grennan is also here alongside Calvin Harris.

Chart continuity comes from friends of the show Little Mix, with an acoustic version of their Galantis-assisted hit, plus the year-plus chart run of Harry Styles, who this week performs the track on bongos and panpipes. Anne-Marie and Niall are also back, and of course Olivia Rodrigo is still making it look easy at the top of the chart.

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 24th September 2020

She may have had one of the albums of the year, but we haven't seen that much of friend of the show Dua Lipa on TOTP lately. She puts that right this week, sneaking into the line-up as Hallucinate rises to number 31. Also breaking the surface is Dermot Kennedy, while Simba and Gunna make rather flashier inroads.

Paul Woolford and Diplo have quietly floated up into the top ten so they make a third appearance in six weeks, while Cardi B and Megan remain at the top, glee unabated.

Debuts: Don Tolliver, Nav.

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh (in the royal box in an empty theatre)

Top of the Pops, 10th September 2020

It's a strange chart this week: almost nobody has climbed more than three places. The exceptions are Clean Bandit and the new entry from Calvin Harris and friend of the show The Weeknd, so they beam in as much energy as is humanly possible over a remote connection.

Huge congratulations also to Cardi and Megan, who perform as much of their song as the censors allow to celebrate reaching the top.

Debuts: None.

Little Mix - Holiday

Up 3 to number 18

Clean Bandit ft. Mabel and 24KGoldn - Tick Tock
