Top of the Pops, 15th September 2022

It's a big welcome back for two of Britain's remaining bands, the Arctic Monkeys and the 1975. And a huge turnaround for Tom Odell, who is storming back up the chart after ages on the edges. Other than that it's something of a catch-up week, with repeat appearances for some of the biggest hits of the moment from Luude, Central Cee and Steve Lacy. Eliza Rose proves it wasn't a fluke and makes it two weeks at number 1.

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

High Climber - Up 16 to number 20

Top of the Pops, 13th August 2020

As the wave of Taylor Swift that hit last week subsides, most other tracks bob back up a few places. For Top of the Pops, that means we get a high class week with several top ten tracks featured, including long-running hits from Regard and RAYE, AJ Tracey and the dashing Chris Brown. The Harry Styles track even scales a new peak, once again, after six months on the list. Is it impossible that it could eventually make number one?

We've got chart breakers from Miss 2019 Billie Eilish and Bewdley's own Becky Hill, and the infectiously delighted Joel Corry and MNEK make it three weeks at the top.

Debuts: None

Becky Hill vs Sigala - Heaven On My Mind

Up 6 to number 17

Top of the Pops, 23rd July 2020

It's quite a quiet chart week this week, though there is interest in the shape of new hits from Halsey (and in memory of Juice WRLD), D-Block Europe and Bewdley's own Becky Hill. We also have classy returning performances from Ava Max and RAYE, and a second look at that new TikTok-type version of Dancing In The Moonlight.

Jason Derulo racks up a third week at number one, this time performing an acoustic version of Savage Love without young Jawsh for a bit of variety.

Incredible chart scenes this week as the novelty hit of the minute by Lil Dicky leaps up to number one! Over in the world of more grown up music, friend of the show The Weeknd has his album out and brings us three tracks from it, and with Keala Settle unavailable, Ke$ha pops up for an exclusive performance of her enduring hit from The Greatest Showman.

There's also a strong British-urban showing thanks to MoStack and Yxng Bane, while Dua Lipa and Jason Derulo round out the line-up.

Top of the Pops, 29th March 2018

The highest new entry this week is a novelty single: Lil Dicky and the dashing Chris Brown turn TOTP Thursday into Freaky Friday. Also making chart inroads are XXXtentacion, Khalid and Normani (of Fifth Harmony, or possibly ex-Fifth Harmony), and the indestructible Sigala.

We have a couple of special exclusives, too. Florida Georgia Line are back with a solo rendition of Let Me Go, their Hailee Steinfeld co-credit, and Maren Morris leaves the DJs at home to bring us an acoustic version of The Middle.

PS If you're wondering where Rudimental have got to, the problem is that they've been a non-mover for weeks and weeks, stuck behind Drake. Apart from the number 1 we only feature chart climbers, so they haven't been on much. Sorry, hat guy, but those are the rules.

Debuts: Lil Dicky.

Florida Georgia Line - Let Me Go

Up 1 to number 32

XXXtentacion - Sad! / Moonlight

Up 8 to number 20 / In at number 31

Top of the Pops, 14th September 2017

Double Taylor this week: a second week at number one and a second track in the top ten means a second peformance for the TOTP fans. Swift heads up a strong transatlantic contingent including Justin Bieber and a returning Maroon 5 and Chris Brown (boooo), while the UK has Charli XCX and Yungen. Plus the pan-European duo of J Balvin and Willy William with this week's dose of reggaeton.

Top of the Pops, 8th May 2014

Molly's Children of the World gets a pre-Eurovision TOTP showing as it storms into the chart at number 48, while five other female acts are also climbing the hit parade. Perhaps going some way to cancelling out the Chris Brown appearance, which in fairness has been a long time coming as his hit, now finally invading the top 10, has been around the top 20 for weeks. The new old MJ song is played over a montage of previous TOTP highlights, and the succession of in-at-the-top bangers continues with Calvin and a troupe of mixed-gender backing dancers.

Tove Lo - Stay High

Up 2 to number 7

Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This

High Climber - Up 30 to number 20

Molly - Children Of The Universe
