Top of the Pops, 18th September 2014

Blame, blame, blame. George Ezra and friend of the show John Newman are both discussing it this week - Newman in a solo performance because Calvin Harris is off DJing somewhere. We also enjoy an energising turn from Fall Out Boy, and a treat from Christina Aguilera: she is in the building for her feature on the Great Big World song, so who better to take the mic with Clean Bandit for a very special performance of Rather Be. Morose-voiced overgrown choirboy Sam Smith also pops in for the fourth week in a row, by virtue of having multiple tracks climbing the list lately.

Debuts: Fall Out Boy, Ten Walls.

Top of the Pops, 27th February 2014

It's been a Britsy week. Five of our acts here are Brit Award winners or performers, including Bastille and Rudimental reprising their team-up from the ceremony itself (and even our presenter, Duffy, is a three-time former winner). Katy Perry even brings most of her set from the Brits show along with her. Non-Brit tracks include newies from Tegan and Sara and A Great Big World, plus a long-running mid-hit from Idina Menzel. Critics' Choice Sam Smith actually has four songs in the top 75, but this week is all about Money On My Mind.

Top of the Pops, 16th January 2014

A couple of rare treats this week. First Beyonce jets in to bring us (most of) not one but two tracks from her barricade-storming new album. Second, the Gaga/Aguilera diva double both appear to sing the revamped version of Do What U Want which is currently giving the track a second wind. Elsewhere there is a high banger concentration; Pharrell isn't here in person so we enjoy the video for Happy.
