Top of the Pops, 24th November 2016

Christmas is clearly getting close. The show this week is unusually dominated by artists who tend to sell more than stream; those, in other words, whose albums are gearing up for the December market. Not completely dominated, though - I don't think Zay Hilfiger and Zayion McCall fall into that category, for example.

A couple of neat exclusives bookend the show. First, Mark Morrison rocks up in person to breathe life into his resurrected, re-jigged hit alongside Fetty Wap and Nevada. And then Robbie Williams, most of whose songs seem to be about his daughter these days, makes a very apt guest appearance on Clean Bandit's parent-centric Rockabye. You'll only see it here, folks.

Debuts: Nevada, Zay Hilfiger, Zayion McCall.

It's another laugh riot as one man fun machine James Arthur celebrates his third week at number 1 by not only performing a skanked-up version of Say You Won't Let Go, but also guesting with Dua Lipa on an exclusive version of Blow Your Mind (Mwah). Not that the joint isn't already jumping after the return of Bruno Mars and a beautiful solo run-through of former number 1 Closer by Halsey.

Friends of the show Clean Bandit are back as well, and Hailee Steinfeld continues to climb the chart as Emeli Sande rebounds.

The way the chart works nowadays means that five of the songs performed on the show two weeks ago now return to the show - more than half the line-up. To keep things fresh, most of the artistes in question change up their arrangements, including a lovely candlelight performance from friend of the show Ellie Goulding and a reggaeton remix from Grande and Minaj with a cameo from the legendary Don Omar.

It's not all continuity, though - there are big returns from megastars Calvin Harris and Emeli Sande, and the slow burner from Matoma and Becky Hill finally rises high enough to make the cut in its eighth week on the chart.

Debuts: Matoma, Don Omar.

Martin Garrix ft. Bebe Rexha - In The Name Of Love

Up 1 to number 10

Emeli Sande - Hurts

In at number 22

The Brit Awards effect is muted this year: Smith (high) and Ezra (husky) are both on, but they seem to be on most weeks. Instead, dance music is taking the middle placings by storm and the highest honours go to Princess Ellie and Dame Kelly Clarkson.

Top of the Pops, 28th November 2013

There's something of a Children In Need theme this week: big supporter Barlow is at number 3 with his Mumford-a-thon, while Ylvis and Ellie Goulding also performed on the show (though Goulding sings Burn this week, in a special candlelight mix). Mixmaster Avicii brings us a medley of two hits old and new, while JLS get emotional in what might be their last ever TOTP appearance, throwing their shirts to the fans at the end. But the grand finale is lady-of-the-moment Lily Allen, who has the honour of singing two top ten hits, including the number 1, in seamless combination.

Ylvis - The Fox
