Top of the Pops, 20th March 2025

Jennie is making big waves this week: she performs two songs and invites friend of the show Dua Lipa to help her. We also have new chart peaks for Sabrina Carpenter (the latest one), Ravyn Lenae and Sonny Fodera with Clementine Douglas.

Sabrina Carpenter is still kept off the top by Eminem, but she does have the highest new entry this week, giving her two songs in the top 3. Speaking of follow-ups, RAYE is back with the sequel or coda to last year's all-conquering album. There are also debuts for Flex (UK) and Gracie Abrams.

Queen Taylor Swift drops in as well for a double header, although it's interesting that  the track from ages ago is actually higher in the chart than the one from her latest album.

Welcome to Drake vs Kendrick Lamar week! Top of the Pops presents a handy round-up of all the diss tracks that are climbing the chart in one manageable package. Also featured is a man who has collaborated with both, Future, so perhaps he can arbitrate if the result is in doubt.

On the pop side of things we have friend of the show Dua Lipa and a randomly returning Harry Styles, and on the authentic American troubadour side of things we have Benson Boone, newcomer Tommy Richman and arguably Shaboozey. Sabrina Carpenter continues to keep it classy at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 9th May 2024

The tortured poet wave has largely broken, meaning that a lot of songs shuffle up a few places, giving us a nice compendium of the top hits of the moment from Benson Boone, Dasha, Artemas and even Noah Kahan. The most impressive climb, though, has to be Sabrina Carpenter skipping up all the way to her first even number 1 single.

Taylor Swift isn't completely done either, though, and she's here with another track from her super new album. Friend of the show Dua Lipa is here too, and Natasha Bedingfield is back with a second resurrected track, this time Badger-assisted.

Top of the Pops, 25th April 2024

There's lots of chart activity this week, with friend of the show Dua Lipa and the first solo single from Perrie (Edwards) (from Little Mix) both crashing the top ten - but neither with as much of a jolt as Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso.

There are also chart inroads being made by David Guetta and the exciting new talent Chappell Roan, while Mark Ambor reaches another new chart peak. Clementine Douglas is here with a solo, Madonna-less version of Happier. And the world-weary stylings of Hozier are still at number 1.

Debuts: Chappell Roan, Perrie (as solo)

Top of the Pops, 7th March 2024

There's a nice BRIT Awards element to the show this week: Best International Artist SZA is here with the highest new entry, Critical Stitch-up Award winners the Last Dinner Party return, and Dua Lipa, Central Cee and Fred Again were also nominees.

In non-BRIT news we've got another, even more triumphant return for Natasha Bedingfield, a lights-out banger from Ella Henderson and a very special Irish folkified performance from Beyonce with help from the Mary Wallopers.

Top of the Pops, 29th February 2024

Divas upon divas this week. Friend of the show Dua Lipa has the highest new entry, Ariana Grande recruits Mariah Carey for a double diva version of her big-but-not-yet-huge comeback hit, and --yee haw!-- it's country diva Beyonce at number 1.

On the other side of things there's a big return for Calvin Harris and Rag 'N' Bone Man (the latter's first appearance in a couple of years) as well as a couple of debuts and yet another new peak for Teddy Swims. Can he get to the top two? The From The Vault slot is for Bob Marley, as the recent biopic sparks renewed interest in his evergreen catalogue; Could You Be Loved? in particular is a nice choice.

Debuts: Yung Filly, Djo

Dua Lipa - Training Season

Top of the Pops, 11th January 2024

It's the post-Christmas chart, which means that everyone is going UP, which means a high-quality show where everyone is in the top ten - a true rundown of what's popular right now. That means a lot of the strongest tracks from the second half of last year, but also Sophie Ellis Bextor riding the Saltburn wave, who takes the TOTP stage for the first time in a long time and shows the rest how it's done.

Other than that, Tate McRae has a big moment with two top 20 singles, and Noah Kahan finally takes the top spot after a few patient weeks waiting for Wham! to clear out of the way.

Debuts: None

Dua Lipa - Houdini

Top of the Pops, 23rd November 2023

Huge new entry this week for friend of the show Dua Lipa, but not quite as huge as Jack Harlow, who pips her to the top spot fair and square. It's a strong week for new hits, with Steflon Don, Pinkpantheress, Stray Kids and even Mazza L20 all bringing their fresh vibes to the studio. Continuity comes from Mitski and the still climbing Noah Kahan, who performs a new album track to go along with Stick Season.

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, 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.

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.

Legend in her own lifetime Taylor Swift is back on the show, soaring up the chart with Karma. Other big pop names who are featured include friend of the show Dua Lipa, and arguably the Jonas Brothers, who finally climb high enough to get on after a couple of months in the lower reaches of the chart.

Lil Durk is back for another bite, and Ellie Goulding ropes in J Hus to add a bit of grime flavour to Miracle in its seventh week on top. A Tina Turner tribute is in the From The Vault slot.

This week belongs to Calvin Harris, who is able to bring five famous friends to perform two tracks from his current album, if the audience isn't already exhausted by the likes of Bru-C, David Guetta and Becky Hill and Charli XCX.

Loads of new entries this week: international megatars BTS, Joji and friends of the show D-Block Europe are all here, plus OneRepublic reach a new chart peak and George Ezra bounces back into the top 30.

It's a big week for returns. Friend of the show Dua Lipa has been pretty quiet this year, but she appears here alongside Calvin Harris. But bigger than that, Lady Gaga is back on the show too! But bigger than that, Kate Bush is back in the chart! So we see one of her classic performances from the 80s.

It was also about time the Lizzo track got a second airing (and she sticks around to help out Jack Harlow), Tion Wayne and Benzz both reprise their recent hits, and Harry Styles is immovable at number 1.

In the new column are some of the stories of the year: Arrdee, Silk Sonic and Sam Fender, plus Post Malone's first TOTP appearance since he bestrode the world in 2019.

Top of the Pops, 21st October 2021

Many, many congratulations to Elton John and Dua Lipa for doing what many thought impossible and deposing King Ed Sheeran from number 1 - for the moment at least. Their track has a very old-school feel about it, not only because it's a combination of older songs but because it's climbed to number 1 by building popularity with the general public. Fancy.

Elsewhere we've got a debut from Ewan McVicar and a sort-of debut for Jesy Nelson, plus a double-header from Sam Fender who makes a bit of a chart breakthrough this week. The Willow and Tyler Cole (aka The Anxiety) track is also climbing impressively. And why is Adele back in the chart?

Yes, who better to knock Ed Sheeran off number 1 than King Ed Sheeran himself? He's not the only new entry on the show, though - Central Cee, CKay, Mimi Webb and another one from Drake are all represented too.

In other megastar news, Elton John and Dua Lipa are back and cruising regally into the top five. Rain Radio and l'esprit des 2020 Billie Eilish join them in making return visits.

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
