Top of the Pops, 6th August 2015

There's a very special performance this week, as the people behind two of the tracks of the summer, Major Lazer and OMI, team up for a reggae crossover mashup combined performance of them both. British female soloists named after animals are well represented by Birdy, Foxes and Ella Hen-derson,  and enthusiastic Americans Walk The Moon are also welcomed back. Friend of the show The Weeknd appears too - we can't keep him away!

Top of the Pops, 19th June 2014

Football looms large here. Mr Worldwide Pitbull jets in with his two co-vocalists in tow to bring us the official World Cup song, while Three Lions climbs high enough for us to show an original performance from those hopeful days in '96. More surprisingly, the late Rik Mayall's Noble England has entered the top ten, so is played over a thoughtful montage.

But it's Ella Henderson who lifts the trophy this week and makes her Top of the Pops debut. Raleigh Ritchie and Skepta also appear for the first time, and the line-up is completed by a slow burner from Foxes and Zedd.

Top of the Pops, 15th May 2014

Only two new entries make it on to the show this week, so there is room for reprises of some older hits: Mr Probz is back, and Gary Barlow brings along some banjo and jug players to perform a special way-out-west version of Let Me Go. At the more sophisticated end of the scale we have Pharrell plus backing dancers doing Marilyn Monroe, and a rare appearance from the inimitable Ms Keys. Friend of the show Jason Derulo is in the building too, without Snoop Dogg but instead recruiting a game Gary Barlow to fill in on the "wiggle wiggle wiggle" bits.

Top of the Pops, 6th March 2014

It's Pharrell's week once again. Not only is the impish hat-donner now on a near-unprecedented third run at number one with a song newly anointed as a million-seller, he's also the ten-gallon musical brain behind Paloma Faith's new top ten entry; he duly larks around in the background of Paloma's performance before inviting her to join his own. New to TOTP this week are John Legend and American Authors, and international diva Beyonce drops by (with another sparkly dress) as her Brits-performed track rises another place.

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.

Fatboy Slim ft Riva Starr - Eat Sleep Rave Repeat
