Top of the Pops, 16th April 2026

There's a zesty mix of old and new this week: refamiliarising the audience with Alex Warren's behemoth, Bruno Mars's cheeky groove and friend of the show Zara Larsson's continuing career renaissance; but also showcasing a fresh Harry Styles track, a new one from Anotr and an impressive chart charge from Ella Langley.

There are also two full-bodied solo performances of songs released as duets: Dave without Tems, and Olivia Dean with the inevitable Olivia-only exclusive of Rein Me In, which is still on top.

Top of the Pops, 19th March 2026

Nothing can stop Harry Styles, at least in his week of release, so American Girls crashes in at the top! Other American girls on the show, or women, include Bebe Rexha, Bella Kay, and Keyshia Cole who is back once again alongside Sean Paul.

There's also an exclusive Jennie-only version of Dracula, the return of Sombr, and friend of the show Zara Larsson continuing her resurgence.

Top of the Pops, 12th Feburary 2026

Dave and Tems are back up to number 1 this week, Dave performing a stripped-back solo version on the show. The biggest entry is from Noah Kahan, there's a resurgence from friend of the show RAYE, and not for the first time we have an Olivia Dean double bill.

Zara Larsson and Sonny Fodera are also chart climbing - Zara bringing a string section for a dramatic rendering of Midnight Sun.

Debuts: None

PRESENTER: Radzi Chinyanganya

Top of the Pops, 29th January 2026

A lot of fallers in the top 40 means that it's one of those weeks when the TOTP producers get to explore the lower reaches a bit. They find the evergreen People Watching from the hugely popular Sam Fender, a longtime bubbler-under from Addison Rae, and the first appearance in a long while from ASAP Rocky.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are going back up the chart for whatever reason, as are the Cure, who get the From The Vault slot. There are strong new showings from Gunna and friend of the show Zara Larsson, while Dave (with Tems of course) gets a richly deserved, or even somewhat belated, number 1 hit.

Debuts: None

Sam Fender - People Watching

Up 1 to number 43

ASAP Rocky - Helicopter

Top of the Pops, 8th January 2026

We're back after the Christmas break and it's the usual fairly silly post-Christmas chart, where anything with sleigh bells on it plummets downwards or disappears and everything else zooms back up. 

Generally this means a TOTP that acts as a round-up of the biggest hits from the end of the previous year - and we do have Olivia Dean, Dave, Sam Fender, Taylor Swift and our new number 1 hit from friend of the show RAYE. But there are some surprises as well - a resurgence for a Djo song from a couple of years ago, a top 30 re-entry for Tiffany, and a brand new track from good old Sabrina Carpenter.

Debuts: None

Olivia Dean - So Easy (To Fall In Love)

Back in at number 4

Sabrina Carpenter - Such A Funny Way

RAYE - Where Is My Husband?

Up 47 to number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 6th November 2025

Lots of new entries on the show this week, from Dave, chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi, hot young thing Skye Newman and perhaps most seismically Lily Allen, who performs a two-track sampler from her media-ensorcelling new album.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters manage an impressive little leap up to number 1, displacing Taylor Swift who nevertheless appears with a secondary overlapping hit. And from way down the chart, Le Sserafim take advantage of a lack of other chartbreakers to snatch their debut on the show.

Debuts: Le Sserafim

Lewis Capaldi - Almost

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 6th February 2025

Wow. After a lot of reprises so far this year, this week's show has almost a full house of new entries! That means British rap from Central Cee and Aitch, US rap from Travis Scott and Sexxy Red, pop from Tate McRae, dance from BL3SS, and even a bit of good old rock from Sam Fender. Nice selection, British public!

The only repeat performer is the still-fresh-feeling Lola Young, who makes it a fortnight at the top.

Top of the Pops, 2nd November 2023

Kenya Grace makes it three weeks at number 1, with the nearest featured competition being Noah Kahan's welcome surprise of a hit, just on the fringe of the top ten. Lower down Bastille are back in the chart for some reason, Olivia Rodrigo resurrects Vampire, and Kid Laroi has the highest new entry. But the most special performance is from Dave and Central Cee, who reprise their summer smash and finally reveal the identities of the nine girls they put in their Sprinter.

Debuts: ABRA

Olivia Rodrigo - Vampire

Up 1 to number 18

Kid Laroi ft. Jung Kook and Central Cee - Too Much

PRESENTER: John McEnroe

Top of the Pops, 7th September 2023

Dance music has had a great year so far, and this week two veterans of the field each have two tracks to perform - step forward MK (with a cheeky appearance for longtime friend of the show Rita Ora) and Chase and Status.

Burna Boy and Dave have a new track, and Casso, RAYE and the D-Block lads return with a nice chart jump, but the big accolades go to a trio of big name female singers: Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez both enter the chart and Olivia Rodrigo hops up to number 1.

Debuts: None

Burna Boy ft. Dave - Cheat On Me

PRESENTER: Emma Raducanu

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.

Debuts: Flowdan, Irah, Trigga, Takura

Jorja Smith - Little Things

Up 3 to number 14

Tenth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Miquita Oliver

Top of the Pops, 10th August 2023

The Barbie chart domination is now almost at pre-Christmas Christmas song levels - half of this week's line-up comes from the multi-platform entertainment phenomenon. Three songs crash the top five, although they still can't shift Dave and Central Cee from the very top.

The biggest non-Barbie offering is the new Travis Scott album, and he is here to perform a three-song sampler. Calvin Harris and Sam Smith have also teamed up again, and we pay tribute to Sinead O'Connor.

Debuts: Ryan Gosling

Calvin Harris ft. Sam Smith - Desire

In at number 18

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 3rd August 2023

More Barbie! This week it's the turn of Charli XCX, plus the OG Barbie girls Aqua in the From The Vault slot with a classic performance. Another theme of the summer has been ripping off/homaging Robert Miles, kept up this time by Bou and Slay. And another theme has been Dave and Central Cee at the top of the charts, which shows no sign of being discontinued.

Going international, we've got Travis Scott and Bad Bunny, as well as Noah Kahn and the New York resident ZAYN. Stormzy and RAYE's superstar team-up is the highest new entry.

Debuts: Noah Kahan, Bou, Slay

Top of the Pops, 27th July 2023

Barbiemania is starting to ramp up: after Dua Lipa last week, there are two tracks this week from the pink-hued doll movie. Also of note is the debut solo single from Jung Kook, and there are strong new entries from Becky Hill, J Hus, and Troye Sivan with his first real hit for a while.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

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.

Debuts: D.O.D.

Jorja Smith - Little Things

D.O.D. - So Much In Love

Sixth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 13th July 2023

Olivia Rodrigo makes a triumphant return, dropping in at number 2 and only being denied the top spot by the combined rap power of Dave and Central Cee. Elsewere Peggy Gou reaches another new peak and there's a strong showing from D-Block Europe after a quiet spell from them.

David Guetta and friend of the show Anne-Marie bring us a special two-song rave-up, and Taylor Swift edges into the top ten.

Debuts: None

Peggy Gou - (It Goes Like) Nanana

Fifth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Fiona Bruce

Top of the Pops, 6th July 2023

It's a strong rap week this week: not only are Dave and Central Cee immovable at the top, but the chart is crashed by Stormzy, Fredo and Gunna as well. Playboi Carti is also here alongside the Weeknd, though there's no Madonna this week unfortunately. Shania Twain more than makes up for it.

Guns 'N' Roses get enough Glastonbury bounce to make it into the From The Vault slot, Stephen Sanchez is back, and Ella Henderson gives us a lovely acoustic medley of her two current banger-style hits.

Debuts: None

Gunna - Fukumean

High Climber - Up 25 to number 22

Fourth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Radzi Chinyanganya

Top of the Pops, 29th June 2023

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are the big names this week, both seldom off the chart and making new forays with tracks that have been relatively unfeatured so far. Jorja Smith also reaches a new peak - could this be the real big hit she's promised for so long?

There are new entries for Leigh-Anne (welcome back Leigh-Anne!) and Peggy Gou, and a big leap for Tom Grennan, while Dave and Central Cee look pretty comfortable at the top.

Debuts: Leigh-Anne (as solo), Peggy Gou

Leigh-Anne - Don't Say Love

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: Idris Elba

Top of the Pops, 22nd June 2023

It's Dave and Central Cee's week again: Sprinter stays at the top and their two other collabs both reach new peaks just a little lower down. Not even a strong showing from J Hus and global superstar Drake can spoil their party.

Party vibes are also brought by the Jonas Brothers, Rudimental, and in unbelievably basic form, Nathan Dawe and Joel Corry. There's a rousing return for Sam Fender and a pretty surprising instance of Shania Twain as well.

Debuts: Byron Messia

Anne-Marie ft. Shania Twain - Unhealthy

Up 12 to number 36

J Hus ft. Drake - Who Told You

Second week at number 1 / Up 2 to number 12 / Up 3 to number 14

PRESENTER: Lauren Layfield

Top of the Pops, 15th June 2023

There are second appearances this week for three tracks that are showing more chart staying power than perhaps might have been expected: the Eurovision winner Loreen, plus Kylie Minogue and Lana Del Rey, who in recent years have often both seen their high chart entries drop down in subsequent weeks. Not this time!

There's also a healthy dose of dance music from Hannah Laing and Becky Hill (unbelievably, the dance queen's first appearance this year), as well as a sighting of Jorja Smith. It's always nice to welcome Madonna back to the show, but perhaps the biggest news is Dave and Central Cee's superstar team-up finally knocking Calvin and Ellie off the top.

Debuts: Hannah Laing, RoRo, Lewis Thompson

The Weeknd ft. Playboi Carti and Madonna - Popular

Hannah Laing ft. RoRo - Good Love

Top of the Pops, 1st December 2022

Taylor Swift is making a five-week run at the top of the chart look very effortless. At this point her biggest challenger might be Mariah Carey, who glides in at number 18 this week, or even Baddiel and Skinner if results go their way. They are in the From The Vault slot for now but might be tempted to appear in person if they climb higher?

In more normal news we have a very tempting selection of hits from the lower half of the top 40, including a welcome return for friend of the show RAYE and some interesting first appearances.

Debuts: 070 Shake, JVKE, Meekz, Clavish

RAYE ft. 070 Shake - Escapism
