Top of the Pops, 22nd January 2026

Toes are tapping this week to the huge new entry from Bruno Mars, though he can't get especially close to Djo at the top, who appears with a double bill this week. Sienna Spiro makes it two TOTPs in a row as her secondary hit You Stole The Show is climbing, as does Zara Larsson, who performs this week alongside Pinkpantheress.

There are 2025 reprises from Sonny Fodera, Kehlani and EsDeeKid, while more new material comes from Zach Bryan.

Top of the Pops, 18th December 2025

We've found three non-Christmas hits to open the show with this week: Zara Larsson is randomly back in the chart, Olivia Dean cannot be defeated even by Santa, and Sonny Fodera is doing remarkably well, though still barged out of the top 50.

After that it's wall-to-wall tinsel, with a new one from Gwen Stefani, another four-oldie round-up, a modern classic from Leona Lewis and even an appearance from King Ed Sheeran. Wham! process imperiously to the top spot, as is their right.

Top of the Pops, 27th November 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters take a week off this week, but the animated fun rolls on as the cast of Hazbin Hotel make their debut on the show. They aren't the highest new entry though - that honour goes to wuthering expert Charli XCX, with Lewis Capaldi not far behind.

Friends of the show Tate McRae and Sonny Fodera are also in attendance, as are man of the year contender Sombr and undisputed woman of the year Olivia Dean. There's a faint sound of jingling bells in the chart this week, but we'll save all that until December.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are the biggest news this week, dropping in seemingly out of nowhere with a top ten smash. Post Malone's album is out as well, so he performs a triple bill sampler of its three rootin' tootin' hits.

Elsewhere there are new chart peaks for Sonny Fodera and Hanumakind, a flying visit from Taylor Swift, and a rousing debut from Gigi Perez. Chase and Status are still cracking heads at the top.

Brat summer has definitely arrived! Charli XCX makes an Olympic pole vault to number 1, with a little help from Billie Eilish. She and Chappell Roan help friend of the show Benson Boone out with a fun reimagining of Beautiful Things as well.

With a lot of foot-shuffling in the middle of the chart, a few lower-down tracks can be featured: the new tracks from Sonny Fodera and Hanumakind, a joyful reprise from Coldplay, and a double header from bright young thing Gracie Abrams. Kehlani is also here to guest on the Jordan Adetunji track - their first TOTP appearance for five years.

Top of the Pops, 16th November 2023

After the deep cuts of last week, this week sees a lot of movement in the top ten, meaning that we catch up with long-running hits from Casso (a sweet candlelight version this week), Tyla and Tate McRae. International superstar Jung Kook is also resurgent, and Olivia Rodrigo hits the top 20 with yet another new track.

Longtime friend of the show Zara Larsson makes a welcome appearance, but of course the top spot is reserved for the Fab Four: Ringo appears in the studio to introduce a video montage.

A fourth new number 1 in four weeks! Doja Cat celebrates by inviting Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective to back her for a very special performance of Paint The Town Red. Also exclusively changing things up is Sam Smith, with a lovely candlelight version of their Calvin Harris banger.

Kenya Grace makes a strong debut but the highest entry comes from the good-as-ever Kylie Minogue. And Florence + the Machine are so impressed with the resurgent popularity of Dog Days Are Over that they come along to perform their archival hit in person.

Top of the Pops, 17th August 2023

After last week's pink dominance, this week Doja Cat's return paints the TOTP studio red. Chase and Status also have a big climber to go alongside their now top ten hit alongside Becky Hill, and several hits from earlier in the summer are climbing back up the chart.

Dave and Central Cee make it ten weeks at the top - often the end of the road for number 1s due to the chart rules. They rope in some other guests to make the performance a memorable one.

PRESENTER: Miquita Oliver

Top of the Pops, 20th July 2023

Staying power is the theme this week: Kylie Minogue, friend of the show Dua Lipa and Jorja Smith all reap the rewards of long, measured climbs up the chart. Nobody has more chart stamina at the moment than Dave and Central Cee though, and they celebrate six weeks at number 1 with an exclusive version of their track featuring a couple of handy guests.

Centre stage, though, goes to Taylor Swift as she showcases two hit tracks from her latest re-recorded album.
