Top of the Pops, 23rd April 2020

The Weeknd is still at the top, quietly getting closer to having one of the all-time runs at number 1. How long can he hold it? Without much new material appearing to challenge him, maybe quite a long time.

We do have new-to-TOTP songs from Jones and Solveig's Europa project, Khalid and Disclosure, and the lockdown-appropriate hit from JP Saxe, one of three TOTP debuts this week. And Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion continue to make chart inroads.

Debuts: JP Saxe, Simba, DTG

Up 1 to number 27

Jax Jones and Martin Solveig ft RAYE - Tequila

Top of the Pops, 8th October 2015

The top of the charts this week belongs to Sam Smith and his toe-tappin' Bond song, and the singer of the moment is also happy to help out friend of the show Pia Mia on a unique and bewitching version of her long-running hit Do It Again. Weirdly, though, Smith's vocals on the Disclosure track are sung this week by Lorde, who combines it with her own new brothers feature Magnets.

The tempo is kept ebullient by Walk The Moon and Little Mix, and super-regular TOTP featuree The Weeknd is also back again, along with Ed Sheeran.

Debuts: Shut Up And Dance, Nick Brewer, Bibi Bourelly.

Top of the Pops, 13th August 2015

This week there's one of those supremely awkward appearances by a studio covers group that's somehow ended up in the chart - in this case Silento. To be fair, though, Joe Stone's performance isn't that much better, featuring some awkwardly shuffling backing dancers in the absence of Montell Jordan, whose track it basically is.

Some class is restored, though, by the jet-setting glamour of Calvin Harris, the indefinable charm of Shaggy, and a salute to the late and much-loved Cilla Black in the From The Vault slot.

Debuts: Mohombi, Faydee, Costi, Silento, Joe Weller, Emil, Joe Stone.

Calvin Harris ft. Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love

Up 4 to number 2

Shaggy ft. Mohombi, Faydee and Costi - I Need Your Love

Up 9 to number 36

Silento - Watch Me

High Climber - Up 44 to number 19

Joe Weller ft. Emil - Wanna Do

In at number 28

Joe Stone - The Party (This Is How We Do It)

In at number 17

From The Vault: Cilla Black - Anyone Who Had A Heart

Back in at number 41

Disclosure ft. Sam Smith - Omen

Up 16 to number 13

One Direction - Drag Me Down

Straight in at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 20th February 2014

A truckload of new tracks make up most of the show this week, although one of them was also performed last week in its rip-off version; Zedd and Hayley turn up in person today to knock it into a cocked hat. Further continuity comes from Katy B and the all-conquering Clean Bandit, back for a fourth time with another irrepressible rendition. Soul Queen Mary J Blige also pops in to add some regal glitter.

Zedd ft. Hayley Williams - Stay The Night

Highest New Entry - Straight in at number 2

Up 7 to number 22

Katy B - Crying For No Reason

Up 2 to number 5

Top of the Pops, 15th August 2013

Tinie Tempah ft. 2 Chainz - Trampoline

In at number 3 - With dancers on actual trampolines, playing tambourines, dressed as tangerines.

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks

High Climber - Up 15 to number 19 - Iceland's answer to Mumford and Sons are back in the chart and in your living room (or portable multimedia device).

Le Youth - Cool

Up 14 to number 35 - Top 40 and TOTP debut for this "electronic musician, DJ and producer" (says Wikipedia). Here in his capacity as electronic musician.

Rudimental - Right Here

Up 10 to number 14 - The Rude boys have already been on a couple of times, but this is their first appearance without a credited vocalist to assist them.They smash it.

Disclosure - F for You

Up 8 to number 20 - Memories of the Artful Dodger's classic 90s performances come flooding back as the Disclosure brothers both play instruments whose combined output can only make up about 1% of the song. Where is the rest of the music coming from?

Birdy - Skinny Love

Up 1 to number 44 - Birdie pops in unexpectedly as Skinny Love climbs up the chart for the 50th time. The crowd and the viewers fall in love with it all over again.

Pink - True Love / Just Give Me A Reason

Up 1 to number 17 - Pink's Nate Ruess vehicle Just Give Me A Reason is convecting upwards in the lower depths of the chart this week, so Pink comes on to sing her bits from that duet and her current hit as well. With a snap costume change in between.

Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop

Straight in at number 1 - Miley's number 1! But she's not in the country sadly, so we have to content ourselves with the video, edited to remove a decent portion of the rump-shaking. She can't stop us stopping her.

PRESENTER: James Masterton
