Top of the Pops, 4th December 2025

The rising Christmas tide can be ignored no longer, so this week's show features a round-up or montage of popular Christmas oldies, evergreen as a Norwegian pine. That's not the only chart story of the week, though: the latest Wicked film brings friend of the show Ariana Grande and her BFF Cynthia Erivo, and there are exciting entries for Tate McRae and Stray Kids.

EsDeeKid continues his breakout year, and RAYE almost climbs to the top, but not quite - Taylor holds firm with her Shakespearean musings.

Top of the Pops, 9th January 2025

Happy 2025 and we start with the strangest chart of the year, when all the Christmas songs melt away like snow, making way for a top ten best summarised as "bangers from the last four months". That means a high-quality show with Gigi Perez, Teddy Swims and Gracie Abrams and others all lined up to reprise their pre-Christmas hits.

Amid all that, there's a new entry for Ella Henderson, while Lola Young may have the most potential of the just-before-Christmas bubbler-unders.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 12th December 2024

Here we are at the last Top Of The Pops of the year and the chart is pretty much snowed in now - only the Wicked soundtrack, Chrystal, and the laudable anomaly of Gracie Abrams at number 1 are not in the festive category.

So, we've got oldies from Wham! and Brenda Lee, newies from Tom Grennan and Laufey, and a new version of an oldie from Mariah with full military support. Merry Christmas!
