Top of the Pops, 25th July 2024

England's continued football success propels Baddiel, Skinner and Broudie into the top ten once again. That isn't the oldest hit featured this week, though, as Bruce Springsteen's 80s obelisk Dancing In The Dark makes the From The Vault slot.

At the opposite end of the recency spectrum there are high entries from Eminem, Ice Spice and Central Cee. Dasha and Taylor Swift drop in once again, and Sabrina Carpenter is still giving us that her espresso at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 18th July 2024

As the brat summer sets in, Charli XCX performs two tracks from her era-defining album. There are some fairly superstar names on too, including Eminem and Lana Del Rey and not forgetting Sabrina Carpenter who replaces herself at number 1 this time.

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.

Top of the Pops, 13th June 2024

Out of nowhere, Eminem tops the chart! Wow. The show also features new or newish songs from Fred Again and Charli XCX, repeat visits for the enduring hits from Mark Ambor and Blessed Madonna, and a couple of double-headers from Gunna and (in a rather extravagant performance) Chappell Roan. Oh, and Taylor Swift stops by to open the show.

Top of the Pops, 19th January 2023

Lewis Capaldi makes an athletic leap up to number 1 this week in quite a changeable chart. Miguel, Stephen Sanchez, Skrillex and Metro Boomin' all have TOTP premieres for their new hits, and Eminem is back in the top 40 for some reason.

Top of the Pops, 19th March 2020

Well. With concerts, events and gatherings of all kinds being cancelled, Top of the Pops errs on the side of prudence and does the (almost) unthinkable: drops the studio. Instead we get a mix of archive footage (The Weeknd), concert footage (Eminem) and jolly low-fi Skype-type pop-ins (Dua Lipa, the welcome return of Anne-Marie, Da Beatfreakz in a multi-window Zoom-style scenario).

The week's relatively rich crop of debutants will have to wait for their big studio moments, but it can't be helped.

Debuts: Tay Keith, Deno, 24KGoldn

Anne-Marie - Birthday

Up 3 to number 33

Aitch ft AJ Tracey and Tay Keith - Rain

PRESENTERS: Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden (in their kitchens)

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2020

We're still ground to a halt near the top of the chart, so most of the interest is lower down, including a couple of rare invitees from outside the top 40. Not that that means a drop in star power: BTS are a pretty big name after all.

The exception is Eminem (with beyond-the-grave support from Juice WRLD) who crashes in at the top spot. Still got it.

Debuts: None

Young T and Bugsey ft Headie One - Don't Rush

Top of the Pops, 18th October 2018

It's always impressive when a collaboration between more than about three artistes gets them all to turn out on the TOTP stage. This week we have two examples - from Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Willy William, and Fredo, Young T and Bugsey - so A+ for effort to them. Fredo actually manages two appearances on his TOTP debut, including the number 1 single alongside Dave.

We're also strong in the singing department, thanks to Rita Ora, Becky Hill and Halsey, and the serious star power comes from Eminem, who's been on a few times lately.

Debuts: Fredo, Young T, Bugsey, Lil Baby, Gunna

Jason Derulo vs David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj and Willy William - Goodbye

Top of the Pops, 27th September 2018

Sam Smith brings some stability to the top spot, and in his third week up there brings us an exclusive David Guetta remix of the nation's track of the hour, the flaxen haired Frenchman being here anyway to perform his evergreen hit with Anne-Marie.

We've also got something old from George Ezra, something new from Dean Lewis and Machine Gun Kelly, and something (probably fairly) blue from Eminem.

Debuts: Dean Lewis, Joyner Lucas

Dean Lewis - Be Alright

Up 5 to number 22

Top of the Pops, 13th September 2018

Another new number 1: this time it's the low-key banger from Calvin Harris and Sam Smith nipping ahead of the competition. Though perhaps bigger chart waves are made by Eminem, The Ringer spearheading a trio of new entries from his latest album.

Elsewhere, Freya Ridings finally makes the cut in her eighth week on the chart, and there are reprises of long-running hits from B Young, CamelPhat and friend of the show Anne-Marie (sans Guetta this time). And there's a special appearance from supergroup LSD: Labrinth, Sia and Diplo if you're wondering.

Debuts: Freya Ridings, LSD (as a group)

Top of the Pops, 25th January 2018

Perfect drops from the top but Ed Sheeran remains unbowed: he is now there with his good buddy Eminem and their hit River (we just show the video). Fresher blood comes from Sigrid and several cast members from The Greatest Show, whose soundtrack is proving a runaway hit.

Dua Lipa and Camila Cabello both have breakthrough weeks with follow-ups to the defining hits of the last quarter, and we remember Dolores O'Riordan in the From The Vault slot.

Debuts: Sigrid, Zac Efron, Zendaya.

Sigrid - Strangers

Top of the Pops, 11th January 2018

Happy New Year! It's the crazy post-Christmas chart where literally every single song is a climber, which combined with the lack of a regular show last week means that the entire top 7 is eligible to be featured. How many of them could you guess? You'd probably get Ed Sheeran, Eminem and Rita Ora, but MK and Big Shaq provide a couple of curveballs.

Lots of climbers also means lots of acts with multiple hits, so Clean Bandit give us an all star best of 2017 medley, and Camila Cabello drops a bit of her new single in alongside the evergreen Havana. The one new hit comes from Keala Settle, with her show-stopper from the film The Greatest Showman.

Debuts: Keala Settle.

MK - 17

Up 16 to number 7

Rita Ora - Anywhere

Up 4 to number 4

Keala Settle - This Is Me

Top of the Pops, 23rd November 2017

After a long, slow chart climb, friends of the show Clean Bandit see their latest hit I Miss You finally come on the TOTP radar. They are here with guest vocalist Julia Michaels, who also fills in for the absent Beyonce on an exclusive version Eminem's big new entry.

Also making new ground are Big Shaq, who reaches the top ten for the first time, NF, Lil Pump, and Elbow, who are on the show for the first time ever. For her third week at number 1, Camila Cabello gives Havana the full acoustic mariachi treatment.

Top of the Pops, 7th November 2013

Lots of new entries this week, including chart debs Mad and Foxes, while Rizzle Kicks finally get the chance to do Skip To The Good Bit for us after a few weeks in the top 40. The late Lou Reed's From the Vault slot isn't an actual TOTP clip, but a tribute montage. Eminem and Rihanna can't make it and have no video, so it's a montage for them too, drawing on Love The Way You Lie, Russian Roulette, Cleaning Out My Closet and other atmospheric clips. Amazingly, we're still waiting for Rihanna's first studio appearance on the revamped TOTP.
