Top of the Pops, 24th October 2024

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. Not to mention Sabrina Carpenter, who has a new hit Bed Chem alongside her number 1 residency.

A slight drop in pressure at the top of the chart allows us to catch up with some of the songs that have been racking up impressive recent runs in and around the top ten: Belters Only, Mimi Webb, Jax and MNEK, and especially Aitch who this time brings along Ashanti in person. She's still got it.

The highest new entry is from Lauren Spencer-Smith, and Harry Styles marks his third week at the top with a performance themed around Disney's Lion King.

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

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

Becky Hill - Run

Up 3 to number 22

Russ Millions ft. Buni and YV - Reggae and Calypso

Fourth week at number 1

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.

Debuts: Liilz

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 16th December 2021

One may have doubted whether it was possible, but the charts are even more Christmassy this week than they were last week. Elton and Ed are of course number 1, and the parade of festive faves has a pretty long tail: even though a lot of them are by oldies who aren't necessarily available to come on the show, we can delve down and find Leona Lewis and Camila Cabello to bring the Christmas cheer.

And fair play to D-Block Europe, SZA and ABBA for having hits with songs that aren't so Christmas-adjacent. D-Block do have their Santa hats on.

Debuts: None

D-Block Europe ft Central Cee and AJ Tracey - Overseas / Make You Smile

Up 1 to number 11 / In at number 42

ABBA - Little Things

In at number 61

SZA - I Hate U

Up 16 to number 31

From The Vault: Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Up 18 to number 20

Elton John - Step Into Christmas

Up 14 to number 16

Ed Sheeran and Elton John - Merry Christmas

Straight in at number 1

PRESENTER: Jools Holland

Top of the Pops, 5th August 2021

Dave's album is out this week, so there's an exclusive performance of two tracks from him, with Stormzy in tow as well. Speaking of longtime friends of the show, can you believe it's well over a year since Rita Ora was on? And there's a super team-up by Anne-Marie and Little Mix.

From the US come Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Camila Cabello. There's a debut appearance for Rain Radio, and King Ed Sheeran remains on his throne, looking down on the rest of the chart below him.

Top of the Pops, 5th March 2020

New chart peaks this week for Becky Hill's latest one, and for Halsey, and indeed for the tireless Joel Corry. The star power comes (mainly) from Harry Styles and Dua Lipa, plus friend of the show Camila Cabello, and we pay tribute to the memory of posthumous chart leaper Pop Smoke. The Weeknd brings us a secondary track alongside his new romantic megahit to close the show.

PRESENTERS: Jimmy Carr and Rachel Riley

Top of the Pops, 20th February 2020

Superduo Future and Drake are back in the studio, between them just about eclipsing Justin Bieber's star on a pretty stacked TOTP. The highlight must be the two of them guesting on a souped-up exclusive performance from friend of the show Camila Cabello.

We've also got new stuff from Joel Corry, both new and old stuff from Selena Gomez, and a second week up top for the 1980s stylings of The Weeknd.

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 23rd January 2020

After a couple of eventful weeks the upper reaches of the chart have slowed down a bit, but there's plenty of action outside the top 20. Camila Cabello and Selena Gomez are both charging up, and British urban artists Darkoo and AJ Tracy both make mini-climbs - the latter brings us an exclusive all star remix of his 2019 behemoth.

Nearer the top we've got the high new entry from Future, and a Sheeranless version of Stormzy's number 1 (with a bit of number 21 mixed in).

Top of the Pops, 14th November 2019

It's six weeks at the top now for Tones & I, moving into elite territory. Dua Lipa breezes past everyone else, but can't unseat the mighty Australian, but gives us an imperious and ebullient performance nonetheless.

Harry Styles is back, making it three earnest troubadours on the show this week, and there's a chartbreaker double bill from Krept and Konan.

Top of the Pops, 31st October 2019

A few long-running hits finally get over the TOTP appearance threshold: Lizzo's Good As Hell (an Ariana Grande remix will do it), Maroon 5's Memories and Riton's Turn Me On. Meduza and Goodboys are also making some serious inroads and friend of the show Aitch is here once again, but not even King Ed Sheeran can knock Tones & I off the summit.

Top of the Pops, 17th October 2019

Fear not, Ed Sheeran fans: the king only misses one week before coming back with the next song on his collabo conveyor belt, this time featuring Cardi B and friend of the show Camila Cabello. But Tones & I is holding on to the top spot for now, despite strong competition from Travis Scott.

Dave, Aitch and Jorja Smith provide yet another strong britrap/britrnb contingent, and we have three songs from Summer Walker, whose album has had a big impact slightly further down the chart.

Top of the Pops, 29th August 2019

It's a showcase of mostly long-running hits this week, none more so than AJ Tracey, who changes things up by performing the remix this time round. New material comes from Tracey's samplee Jorja Smith, who brings along Burna Boy to perform our highest new entry. And Shawn Mendes is back to give us the standard version of his duet with Camila Cabello.

Sixth week at number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 22nd August 2019

Another week, another peak for Dominic Fike, though it's anyone's guess whether he can climb the last two places needed for a truly historic chart ascent. Also still doing well are Sam Smith, who is also this week's contestant on Sing With Camila, Mist, and the bulletproof Lewis Capaldi.

She's been killing it all year under the radar, but this is actually the first week that Lizzo's had the chart power to get on Top of the Pops. She's here and as ebullient as you'd expect.

Debuts: Lizzo

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 15th August 2019

She hasn't been away all that long, but it's nice to see Ariana Grande hasn't lost her ability to materialise in the upper reaches of the chart at will. King Ed Sheeran, alongside the mighty Stormzy, is also now making inroads with yet another of his wildly popular duets.

In other news, we get a couple of round-ups of some lower-down hits thanks to three-song medleys from Drake and new friend of the show Aitch. And with Shawn Mendes unavailable, it falls to Stormzy to serenade Camila Cabello in the top position.

Debuts: Social House

Top of the Pops, 8th August 2019

There are a few songs around that have just kept building and building. Here's AJ Tracey, now up to number 4 after 22 weeks on the chart, and Dominic Fike makes the top ten for the first time after 13 weeks. Lower down, Ellie Goulding and Juice Wrld have finally climbed high enough to get their TOTP invitation too.

We've also got dance from Joel Corry, rap from Dave and newcomer Lil Tecca, and the sultry Canadio-Latin number 1 from Shawn and Camila.

Camila Cabello (plus Shawn Mendes) skips back up to number 1, making it five weeks in a row on the show for the Americo-Cuban chanteuse. Also returning are Kygo (with Kelli-Leigh doing the Whitney bit again), Katy Perry, Stormzy and the long-running Freya Ridings.

Top of the Pops, 25th July 2019

As the summer of britrap rolls on, this time it's Dave and Young T and Bugsey who are heading back up the charts, alongside a new entry from Krept and Konan. It's great that all these MCs are happy to support the show, rubbing shoulders with (and often outcharting) the likes of Camila Cabello and Justin Bieber, who guests with Billie Eilish this week.

One week off the top was enough for King Ed Sheeran, though, so now he's back at the top with the next song in the queue, the fairly lovely Beautiful People, alongside fellow friend of the show Khalid.

Debuts: None

Lots of changes on the chart here. King Ed is finally deposed from number 1 by our new king and queen, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. There's a trio of strong new entries from Mist, Post Malone and D-Block Europe, and longtime climbers from Kygo, Freya Ridings, Miley Cyrus and especially AJ Tracey are all rewarded with new chart peaks. Tracey welcomes his sampled vocalist Jorja Smith onto the show to sing live in celebration, while Kygo gets leading soundalike singer Kelli-Leigh to pay tribute to Whitney.

Top of the Pops, 11th July 2019

There's a lot of polite shuffling about in the chart this week, which gives us the opportunity to showcase a few hits that have been bubbling under for a while: Dominic Fike, Camila Cabello and Martin Garrix are the beneficiaries.

The Glastonbury effect has been pretty muted this year but the Killers are back in the chart. The summer of britrap continues with an entry from Young T and Bugsey, plus last week's debutant Aitch making it two weeks on TOTP in a row, and the biggest chart movement comes from King Ed Sheeran, whose Beautiful People (aided by friend of the show Khalid) joins I Don't Care (this week co-performed by Lewis Capaldi) in the top five.
