Top of the Pops, 30th October 2014

A week of consolidation in the chart sees several songs make micro-climbs, allowing them to come back for a second (or in some cases umpteenth) week. There's an electrifying new entry from Fuse ODG and we dig Tracy Chapman out of the vault, but once again the week is all about that Meghan Trainor (on video though, not in the studio).

The big chart news this week is Nico & Vinz's Isinbayeva-like leap to number 1, and they are here to celebrate. Friends of the show Clean Bandit are also back, this time with a very special one-off performance of Rather Be with the Paloma Faith on vocals; the inimitable Paloma is also climbing back up the chart with Only Love Can Hurt.

Top of the Pops, 26th June 2014

For the first time in three months or more the number one song stays on at the top, so well done Ella Henderson. Ed Sheeran's Sing slips down the chart but album track One is rising so he keeps up the momentum for his imminent album - but his songwriterly acousticness has competition from newcomer George Ezra. 5 Seconds of Summer perform a mix of two poptacular hits, and indie rock, pop-dance, dance-pop and afro-urbo-pop are represented as well.

Ed Sheeran - One

High Climber - Up 27 to number 20

The Kooks - Around Town

In at number 35

George Ezra - Budapest

Back in at number 4

At last, we Radio 1 listeners will be able to turn our radios back on without fear of hearing yet more about the Big Weekend that we aren't going to. But the event's aftershocks do rumble TOTP this week, as Katy Perry and Pharrell to name but two float back up the charts.

Friends of the show Coldplay's album debuts at number 1 and sends three of its tracks into the singles countdown as well, so Chris Martin's and co bring us an album sampler. Sean the Paul, here as guest on Fuse ODG's track, fills in for Snoop on the Jason Derulo joint for another TOTP one-off.

The first Top of the Pops of the new year sees an influx of shiny new hits spearheaded by the rootin' tootin' number 1 from Pitbull and Ke$ha.

Top of the Pops, 1st August 2013

Not many new entries this week, which means a lot of climbers and the chance for a few long-lived hits to get their turn on the show. Look out for a surprise duet near the end!

One Direction - Best Song Ever

Highest New Entry - In at number 2 - And what better way to kick off any episode of Top of the Pops than with everybody's favourite five eager beavers, jigging about to the general delight of the studio audience.

Demi Lovato - Heart Attack

Up 3 to number 33 - No, she wasn't on last week, that was Selena Gomez. Another polished performance from another pristine popstrel. And a great light show.

Rudimental ft. Ella Eyre - Waiting All Night

Up 9 to number 25 - Not the first time on for Rudimental but a TOTP debut for the talented Ella Eyre. The singer is front and centre in this performance, clouds of dry ice obscuring the Rude boys as they skulk in the shadows.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

Up 3 to number 18 - This uncharacteristically enduring Arctics hit gets a second airing as it climbs back into the top 20. The boys are happy to come on again, turning up the intensity for the second pound through.

Fuse ODG - Antenna

Up 2 to number 22 - And another returning face to restore the party vibe. With four female dancers wearing antennae this time around.

From the Vault: Toploader - Dancing in the Moonlight

Up 36 to number 27 - A huge leap up the chart for this pukka classic sends our tape delvers deep into the archive to retrieve this footage from the year 2000.

Ed Sheeran with Demi Lovato - Everything Has Changed

Up 1 to number 12 - Taylor is out of the country again, so who better to fill in than the versatile Demi Lovato? She and Ed have great chemistry, making eyes at each other throughout this fun reinterpretation.

Avicii ft. Aloe Blacc - Wake Me Up

Second week at number 1 - The euroDJ and his soulful pal return for a second performance, and this time Aloe Blacc wears a top hat, an enormous fur coat and white loafers. You've changed, Aloe.
