Top of the Pops, 9th October 2025

All change in the chart this week: the K-Poppers are unseated at the top by none other than the woman of the year Olivia Dean - richly deserved. There are also big new entries from Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and Doja Cat, and RAYE has a full band reprise of the song that made her, Escapism.

On the male side of things there's a new one from Myles Smith and a debut appearance for Tkandz and CXSPER.

If anything might overshadow the K-Pop Demon Hunters megastory it's surely got to be the return of Rihanna - only at number 40, but still. Charting higher and maybe arguably even a bigger star these days is Doja Cat, and Olivia Dean, with older hit Dive this time, makes it sort of three generations of pop queens.

Drake isn't here this week but his collaborator Central Cee delivers an exclusive solo version of Which One, there's the first sighting of Stray Kids in a couple of years, and King Ed Sheeran pops up too.

Top of the Pops, 20th February 2025

There's a mix of the old and new this week: Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan bring us some of the enduringly loved tracks from last year, while exciting chart inroads are made by Lisa, Alex Warren, and the perfect match of Kendrick Lamar and SZA.

Huge amounts of new material this week - not just friend of the show Ariana Grande with her long-awaited return, and not even just 21 Savage with a chartbusting new song collection, but also entries from D-Block Europe, Flo Milli, and further down the chart, Ella Henderson and Nathan Evans.

A bit of continuity comes from a resurgent Tom Odell, and Noah Kahan, who is quietly putting together a very respectable run on top of the chart.

Top of the Pops, 30th November 2023

It's quite a week for the big pop name: Taylor is here with two tracks, Tate McRae keeps the chart positions high with her follow-up to Greedy, friend of the show Olivia Rodrigo is here again and even Doja Cat is back to open up for us.

Top of the Pops, 9th November 2023

It's a bit of a crazy week, with the combined entries of Taylor Swift (in the studio in person this week with her new old song at number 1) and various Halloween favourites pushing everything else down and making climbers few and far between. That means a second performance for mid-level hits from big names Doja Cat and Drake, and surprise showcases for Tems and K A D. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, Wheatus are back! They get Doja Cat to do the girl bit on their song.

Top of the Pops, 12th October 2023

There are some big names with new entries this week, not least King Ed Sheeran who is back with the lead track from his seventh album, albeit a little lower in the chart than he's used to. Jung Kook of BTS fame charts much higher, while newcomers Mitski and Billy Gillies also charge up the countdown.

The likeable Issey Cross and Tate McRae are both back, and Doja Cat enlists British soul legend Gabrielle for another exclusive performance.

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.

There's also UK rap from Nines, US rap from Gunna, rock from Blink 182 and impassioned singing from Tom Odell. Doja Cat gives us an extra something from the album as she celebrates a month at the top of the chart.

Top of the Pops, 21st September 2023

It's quite a moment this week as none other than the Rolling Stones are welcomed back to the Top of the Pops studio after decades away. More familiar faces (to younger viewers) are Leigh-Anne with a respectable second solo hit, BTS's V making his solo debut, and the chart queen of the moment Olivia Rodrigo. None of them can knock Doja Cat off the top, though, and she has another outlandish red-themed performance to delight the viewers.

Debuts: ANOTR, Abel Balder

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, 31st August 2023

It's a Barbie switchover at the top of the chart, as friend of the show Dua Lipa replaces Billie Eilish in the number 1 position. A strong challenge comes from Doja Cat, who storms into the top 5.

There are newly featured songs from Luke Combs and Issey Cross, repeat showings from Troye Sivan and Stormzy and RAYE, and a bizarre mashup from Anne-Marie and Shania Twain as they keep breaking off from their country song to do bits of the Haddaway homage Don't Hurt Me.

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

It's a week for patient climbers: Doja Cat, Burna Boy and Bru-C all reach new chart peaks, while LF System complete a very impressive journey to the top spot. The highest new entry isn't even in the top 40, but credit to Tiesto and Charli XCX regardless and they feature here in an energetic performance.

Top of the Pops, 30th June 2022

Big new entries from Drake and to a lesser extent Beyonce have pushed most of the other songs down the chart, so we have to delve a long way to find performers - but we strike gold with fresh tracks from Doja Cat and a triumphantly returning Chase and Status.

It's pretty dance-heavy this week even apart from Beyonce's bandwagon jump: Sigala reach a new peak with their latest hit and LF System inch their way into the top three. Tom Grennan will please fans of more singer-songwriterly material.

Debuts: Talia Mar

Chase and Status - Mixed Emotions

Top of the Pops, 16th June 2022

Harry Styles has made it to ten weeks at number 1. Chart compilation rules mean that a dip next week is quite likely, so he pulls out all the stops here and invites most of this week's performers and some other celebrity friends to join him on stage.

In other news we have a rare solo hit from Burna Boy, the return of friend of the show Doja Cat alongside megastar scruff Post Malone, and a little bit of Shotgun from George Ezra because why not.

Top of the Pops, 21st April 2022

Harry Styles continues to fry all opposition with the force of his pure loveliness, even Jack Harlow who can only reach number 2 (still hugely impressive from him). Not too shabby either is Cat Burns, who makes the top five for the first time.

There's a raft of new tracks on the show this week, including Digga D, Vibe Chemistry and Becky Hill and Ella Henderson trying to out-belt each other, plus a Tyga/Doja Cat collaboration that's spent a few weeks in the lower reaches already. Doja sticks around to exclusively do the Fergie bits for Jack Harlow as well, which is nice.

Top of the Pops, 28th October 2021

What a week for new releases. Not only does Adele glide serenely to number 1, but there's a new Coldplay album as well. They perform two tracks from it, giving friend of the show Selena Gomez her first appearance in 2021. Dermot Kennedy makes an impressive chart leap of his own, standing out amid a sea of big names: Lil Nas X, the Weeknd, Doja Cat, Justin Bieber and indeed Ed Sheeran at a more modest chart position than usual.

Debuts: None

Top of the Pops, 9th September 2021

Momentarily taking some of the spotlight from King Ed Sheeran, none other than Kanye West blusters into town, riding a wave of three big instahits from his latest album. But even their star power might not quite match up to the combined wattage of Elton John and Dua Lipa. Or from a global perspective, BTS.

In addition, there's let another new track from hit machine Doja Cat, a David Guetta song that's been bubbling under for the last six weeks, and a very impressive chart climb by Glass Animals. And dancefloor royalty Becky Hill raises the tempo as always.

Debuts: Mistajam
