Top of the Pops, 6th July 2023

It's a strong rap week this week: not only are Dave and Central Cee immovable at the top, but the chart is crashed by Stormzy, Fredo and Gunna as well. Playboi Carti is also here alongside the Weeknd, though there's no Madonna this week unfortunately. Shania Twain more than makes up for it.

Guns 'N' Roses get enough Glastonbury bounce to make it into the From The Vault slot, Stephen Sanchez is back, and Ella Henderson gives us a lovely acoustic medley of her two current banger-style hits.

Top of the Pops, 26th January 2023

It's a weird top ten this week, with almost every song standing still, which means that some songs from lower down the top 30 get their chance to shine: step forward JVKE, Tiesto and Joel Corry, plus new hits from Fredo, Mimi Webb and Libianca.

Miley Cyrus provides some action at the top of the chart by splatting in at number 1, and we've got a very special performance as David Guetta pays homage to his lifelong inspiration Eiffel 65.

Top of the Pops, 19th August 2021

Lots to get excited about this week. The highest new entry is the new one from the reliably hitmaking The Weeknd, and there are also new breakers from Wizkid, Sleepy Hallow and KSI, while Rain Radio and DJ Craig Gorman hit a new peak.

Top of the pops, 10th June 2021

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!

The Weeknd - Save Your Tears

Top of the Pops, 11th February 2021

Big chart moves from Fredo this week, with the Dave feature spearheading a trio of new entries. We've also got fun returns from Travis Scott and Doja Cat, and Glass Animals are here with their song that's been bubbling under for a few weeks.

The Olivia Rodrigo legend grows by the week, though. She's still there at the top.

Top of the Pops, 4th February 2021

For the second week in a row the show starts with Wellerman, but this time it's the hastily assembled dance banger version featuring Nathan Evans. In non-shanty news, friend of the show The Weeknd is back, as is megastar Justin Bieber and new face Sabrina Carpenter. But aside from the Rodrigo monolith at number 1, the starriest performance of the week might be Billie Eilish teaming with Rosalia down at number 35.

Top of the Pops, 21st November 2019

The britrap train just doesn't stop: four new entries this week, from the returning KSI and serial hitmakers J Hus, Fredo and Dave, and Dave does a double performance because one of his older hits is climbing back up the chart as well.

On the sung side of things we have that nice Niall Horan as well as Maroon 5, and nothing can shift Tones & I from the top.

Debuts: S-X, Arizona Zervas

KSI ft. Rick Ross, Lil Baby and S-X - Down Like That

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2019

Once again more than half the line-up this week is britrap and related music - 2019 has really been the year for it. Meanwhile Post Malone seems to have abandoned US-rap for the moment, dropping in at number 11 with a soft rock song instead.

In other genres, Rita Ora fronts Jonas Blue's dance ditty as it reaches a new high position, and chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi flies the flag for hoary balladeering.

Debuts: None

Aitch - Taste (Make It Shake)

Up 3 to number 3

PRESENTERS: Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer

Top of the Pops, 22nd August 2019

Another week, another peak for Dominic Fike, though it's anyone's guess whether he can climb the last two places needed for a truly historic chart ascent. Also still doing well are Sam Smith, who is also this week's contestant on Sing With Camila, Mist, and the bulletproof Lewis Capaldi.

She's been killing it all year under the radar, but this is actually the first week that Lizzo's had the chart power to get on Top of the Pops. She's here and as ebullient as you'd expect.

Debuts: Lizzo

Up 3 to number 3

Lizzo - Truth Hurts

Up 2 to number 36

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 18th July 2019

Lots of changes on the chart here. King Ed is finally deposed from number 1 by our new king and queen, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. There's a trio of strong new entries from Mist, Post Malone and D-Block Europe, and longtime climbers from Kygo, Freya Ridings, Miley Cyrus and especially AJ Tracey are all rewarded with new chart peaks. Tracey welcomes his sampled vocalist Jorja Smith onto the show to sing live in celebration, while Kygo gets leading soundalike singer Kelli-Leigh to pay tribute to Whitney.

Debuts: None

That's five weeks at the top now for Ed Sheeran, and this week he gives us another exclusive performance with good ol' Brendon Urie in the Bieber role; Urie is here to perform his half of the resurgent Taylor Swift track.

Britrap continues to make a strong chart showing as well. This week it's Mostack with two chart climbers, and he brings the usual gaggle of collaborators with him. And we have some interesting new entries from Mabel and Liam Gallagher.

Top of the Pops, 14th February 2019

Lots of chart movement again here: a first top ten hit for Billie Eilish, and now two impressive climbers for Lewis Capaldi (and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie), plus resurgences for the roughly equally terrible PinkFong and Bastille.

Ariana Grande is at the top and not going anywhere, while Mabel performs a unique version of Don't Call Me Up using antique instruments.

It's a big week for Dave and Fredo: Funky Friday is climbing the top ten again, Fredo has another hit to perform, and Dave fills in for French Montana rapping on the Sigala track.

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

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
