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.

Friend of the show Ariana Grande leaves the Wicked stuff behind and brings us two brand new songs from her new album, including the highest new entry of the week. Also new are Nemzzz and Central Cee, and there has been for some reason a resurgence of interest in Dire Straits.

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.

Out of nowhere, Eminem tops the chart! Wow. The show also features new or newish songs from Fred Again and Charli XCX, repeat visits for the enduring hits from Mark Ambor and Blessed Madonna, and a couple of double-headers from Gunna and (in a rather extravagant performance) Chappell Roan. Oh, and Taylor Swift stops by to open the show.

Top of the Pops, 23rd May 2024

The year's trend so far for hits by earnest beardy guys is showcased particularly well this week, with longish runners Mark Ambor and Michael Marcagi joined by Myles Smith and, more alarmingly, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen (maybe not all of them have beards, but they are beardy in spirit).

However there is tonal variation provided by Chappell Roan and Eurovision's triumphant Nemo. And the ever perky Sabrina Carpenter remains at the top.

Debuts: Morgan Wallen, Nemo, Myles Smith

Top of the Pops, 25th April 2024

There's lots of chart activity this week, with friend of the show Dua Lipa and the first solo single from Perrie (Edwards) (from Little Mix) both crashing the top ten - but neither with as much of a jolt as Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso.

There are also chart inroads being made by David Guetta and the exciting new talent Chappell Roan, while Mark Ambor reaches another new chart peak. Clementine Douglas is here with a solo, Madonna-less version of Happier. And the world-weary stylings of Hozier are still at number 1.

Buoyed by the release of her album, Beyonce skips back up to number 1! She's in the studio this week performing the track of the moment once again, alongside her 21st century, non-weakness-admitting version of Jolene, which seems very her.

Also with a second hit is Benson Boone, one of several impressive chart climbs this week that also include the Blessed Madonna, Mark Ambor, Meghan Trainor and even Jungle. Rudimental are back as well, and Natasha Bedingfield pops up again as Unwritten's impressive second life continues.

Given their ubiquity just lately it would be a bit of a shock if the Last Dinner Party weren't on Top of the Pops - but here they are to open the show. Just pipping them as a high climber, though, is YG Marley, so he could be one to watch.

Megan Thee Stallion completes a trio of new entries, complementing some of the bigger hits from last year from Casso, Tate McRae and Sonny Fodera which take their 2023 momentum into a second month. But once again the week belongs to Noah Kahan, though the story of the year so far Teddy Swims is gaining on him.

There's another strong showing for dance music this week: Sonny Fodera, MK, Peggy Gou and Chase & Status are all climbing the chart once more with tracks that have entertained us since midsummer. Chase & Status go all out this week with a double track performance and guest appearances from some true jungle legends.
