Top of the Pops, 14th April 2022

Harry Styles splats in at the top of the chart and pushes everything else down, meaning that you have to delve right down to the lower reaches to find climbers. They're a pretty good collection, though: not one but two new Rodrigo-alikes in Elley Duhe and Dylan Conrique, and longtime bubbler-unders from Charlie Puth and Sigala.

The big new hits come from Shawn Mendes and Lil TJay, as well as the triumphant homecoming performance from Harry of course.

Debuts: Dylan Conrique, Elley Duhe

Top of the Pops, 3rd February 2022

The biggest new entry this week is from drill star Digga D and his mate StillBrickin: they turn up and bring the fire as we'd expect. Chart inroads are also made by Mr New Year himself, Years and Years, former number 1 artiste Gunna, and the lovable Charlie Puth.

Lost Frequencies and Belters Only are both invited back as their tracks continue to hit new peaks, the latter bringing us a special candlelight version. Meat Loaf is remembered in the From The Vault slot, and the Encanto crew hold firm at the top.

Top of the Pops, 26th October 2017

After Post Malone's solo turn last week, it's his co-performer 21 Savage's turn to show that Post isn't the only one making bank from their mega-hit. 21 gives us an exclusive performance of rockstar plus one of his solo tracks from lower down the chart. We also have an unusual collabo-swap from friends of the show Little Mix and Ed Sheeran, the Mixers providing gorgeous backup harmonies on Perfect and Ed handling the CNCO Spanish bits on Reggaeton Lento surprisingly well (but still not that well).

Pink is doing well with her newly released album, and the tracks of the moment from Mabel, Khaled and Rita Ora round out the line-up. Plus Charlie Puth.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 13th July 2017

The headline this week has to be the return of Drake: Signs makes its way into the top 20, and he also blesses us with his own exclusive take on number 1 fixture Despacito. We also have Pharrell doing a solo version of Feels, two members of One Direction (Liam with a stripped down version of Strip That Down) and our newest friend of the show, Camila Cabello.

Top of the Pops, 22nd June 2017

Great news: Justin Bieber is here to do his verse on immovable number 1 Despacito! Because he has another hit alongside David Guetta, who's also here, bouncing up and down behind the decks. Camila Cabello appears once again, this time alongside Major Lazer, and Ed Sheeran happens to have a song climbing the chart, the slightly neglected Castle On The Hill, so he's here too.

Debuts: Travis Scott.

Top of the Pops, 1st June 2017

The Puerto Rico contingent are still bringing the fiesta to the number 1 spot, though the last remaining One Directioner Liam Payne runs them close-ish with his new Sheeran-penned, Sheeran-alike, I-can't-believe-it's-not-Sheeran track Strip That Down.

Other than that it's US solo starlets alternating with the producer-plus-feature production line; Cheat Codes and Demi Lovato even tick both boxes. Needless to say Ariana Grande isn't in the studio, but we play a tribute video to accompany her re-entry One Last Time.

Debuts: Liam Payne (as solo).

Liam Payne - Strip That Down

Top of the Pops, 11th May 2017

Huge, old-style new entry incoming: DJ Khaled and a bunch of people but, to be fair, mainly Justin Bieber smash their way in at number 1. Khaled is here and, while he hasn't brough all his buds, Justin is in the building. Hooray! Not only that: since he's here, he's also good enough to take the stage with Demi Lovato and do the male voice bits in her song that sound more or less like him anyway on the record.

Also invading our airspace are Ellie Goulding and Charlie Puth, and there are longer runners from Disciples, Anne-Marie (who just can't say goodbye) and J Hus. Mr Hus also injects a bit of newness into an exclusive version of Rag 'n' Bone Man's modern classic.

Debuts: Quavo.

Kygo ft. Ellie Goulding - First Time

Top of the Pops, 1st September 2016

The exclusives keep on coming. Lil Wayne's posse cut from Suicide Squad is climbing the chart once more so he combs the studio for extra vocalists and ends up with a one-off feat. Craig David, Sean Paul and Ellie Goulding. Wow. Craig David cannot contain himself and so lends his vocals to Major Lazer's number one hit as well, in Justin Bieber's absence.

There's a rare appearance from Sia, another resurfacing of the Puth and Gomez hit, and a nice run-out for relative newcomer Anne-Marie.

Debuts: None.

Major Lazer ft. Craig David - Cold Water

Fifth week at number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 11th August 2016

At the risk of the universe imploding, we have girlband M.O. and rubberised Dane MØ on the same show this week. For safety, we put them at opposite ends of the line-up, so the girls get to open proceedings while their near-namesake takes full vocal duties on Cold Water - we can't expect Bieber to be available every week, can we?

We may not have young Justin but we do have something quite special: the reigning queen of pop Rihanna is here, alongside Calvin Harris, for a three-song superhit medley. There are also a few welcome debuts and fresh material from Twenty One Pilots.

Debuts: Halsey, Anne-Marie, Joel Adams.

M.O. - Who Do You Think Of?

Up 7 to number 18

Top of the Pops, 14th July 2016

Drake's still at number one, I'm afraid, but once again Top of the Pops finds a way to keep the One Dance performances fresh. This week we have Drizzy's featured performer Wizkid mashing it up with Tinie Tempah, whose Mamacita he also guests on in the chart this week.

Freshness also emanates from MK and Becky Hill, and to a lesser extent Charlie Puth, while tried and trusted tracks from Adele, Major Lazer and friend of the show Ariana Grande join them on the TOTP stage. The latest Chainsmokers track is also doing surprisingly well, isn't it?

Debuts: None.

MK ft. Becky Hill - Piece Of Me

Up 4 to number 39

Top of the Pops, 3rd March 2016

All very marginal climbers this week, but a nice range of styles and --wait for it-- Rihanna is finally here, complete with Drake, to perform Work in its fifth week on the chart. Justin Bieber adds to the megastar count, and star-in-the-making Zara Larsson brings MNEK along for a double hit of her current tracks.

Top of the Pops, 11th February 2016

A 90s-style chart leads to a fevered vision of what 90s TOTP would have been like if they hadn't relaxed their rules. Apart from a straight-in chart topper from ZAYN, almost nobody (with the admirable exception of Craig David) is climbing the top 40, so most performers come from the lower reaches.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, as we're able to welcome some more leftfield performers than usual, including Twenty One Pilots and G-Eazy. Friends of the show Coldplay also sneak in with their Superbowl song.

Debuts: Twenty One Pilots, ZAYN (as solo).

Craig David and Big Narstie - When The Bassline Drops

Up 4 to number 10

Charlie Puth - One Call Away

Top of the Pops, 20th August 2015

It's a deep-cut week on TOTP: most featured songs this week come from placings in the 20s and 30s. Not that that's a bad thing - it allows space for medleys from Galantis and friend of the show The Weeknd, as well as the hot newie from Selena Gomez and old reliables from Birdy and James Bay.

That oldest of old reliables Ed Sheeran is also back, with Photograph, and with the dashing Chris Brown unavailable for his Rita Ora feature, who can we call on? Step forward... Ed Sheeran again! Puth and Trainor are sparky and sparkly in the number 1 slot.

Debuts: None.

Selena Gomez - Good For You

High Climber - Up 17 to number 29

Galantis - Runaway (U & I) / Peanut Butter Jelly

Top of the Pops, 30th April 2015

Lots of activity in the chart this week. There are returns for the slowly climbing Major Lazer and Kygo, who also drops in a newer hit from lower down the chart. Nick Jonas is back, Conor Maynard flies the British flag and we even have an Oscar winner in Jennifer Hudson. Wiz Khalifa celebrates his second week at number one, and this time we're pleased to welcome him and Charlie Puth to the UK for a studio performance.

Top of the Pops, 23rd April 2015

Somewhat unusually, there are only two top ten hits on the show this week, from Dr Kucho and new number 1 artiste Wiz Khalifa (only the video for him as he's out of the country). Never fear, though, as the lower reaches of the chart bring us a Mumfords medley, an exclusive, never-to-be-repeated Skrillex/Lethal Bizzle collaboration, the delightful Meghan Trainor, and Kodaline.

Why have the Killers re-entered the top 75? Dunno, but it's nice to watch a clip of them in their prime nonetheless.

Debuts: Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth, Dr Kucho, Gregor Salto, Diztortion, Skrillex.

Mumford and Sons - Believe / The Wolf
