With an audience back in the TOTP studio, it's fitting that Fred Again and the Blessed Madonna are here to take reflective view of the events of the last year. They're joined by fellow floor fillers Noizu and Boney M.

Our transatlantic megastars this week are The Weeknd, Doja Cat, SZA, and of course Olivia Rodrigo, who reprises Drivers License in a fun medley with her latest number 1. Perhaps most surprisingly, Eurovision winners Maneskin have a second song in the top 40. Bravo!
