Ellie Goulding and Calvin hold on at the top (stripped back solo performance from Ellie this week) but they are run close by Libianca, who peaks at number 2 after several months on the chart. Also continuing to climb is Bakar, while chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi has in incredible resurgence thanks to the release of his album.

As the days lengthen, George Ezra appears once again to satisfy his baying public, and there's a new banger from David Guetta and a reprise from Taylor Swift. Drake has the highest new entry.

Top of the Pops, 23rd March 2023

It's been a while since a massive track splatted into the top ten but that's what we have this week, as Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding smash down at number 3. It's not enough to best Miley Cyrus though, and her next-best competition seems to come from herself as River is the second highest new entry.

Further down we have Switch Disco with their own Robert Miles homage, well deserved returns from Ayra Starr, Coi LeRay and (at yet another new peak) Lizzy McAlpine, plus the first bit of drill for a while from Digga D. And lovely George Ezra pops in to celebrate the vernal equinox.

There are some huge leaps on the chart this week, not least from Pinkpantheress who enlists Ice Spice to give her song the top ten placing it deserves. There are also impressive jumps from dependable names George Ezra and Pink (her first appearance in a while), while Coi LeRay and a rebounding Sam Smith make smaller inroads.

We have to go all the way down to number 57 to find a new entry, though - welcome back, Rita Ora. Miley is looking very comfortable at number 1, and she brings along Olly Murs this week for a fun exclusive performance.

Harry Styles has made it to ten weeks at number 1. Chart compilation rules mean that a dip next week is quite likely, so he pulls out all the stops here and invites most of this week's performers and some other celebrity friends to join him on stage.

The Christmas season is more or less over but the chart lags behind slightly, meaning there's one final fling for the festive tunes from George Ezra, Olivia Dean and the Jonas Brothers. Elton John is also here in person so we get a double serving from him.

Well done also to Fireboy DML (plus King Ed) and Mabel for having non-Christmas songs that are climbing the chart. A good early sign for 2022?

This is the point where the charts really go Christmas crazy, so well done to GAYLE for almost making the very top with her decidedly un-Christmassy debut single. What a chart story that would have been, but number 2 is still a big deal and very well deserved. Congratulations also to Imagine Dragons and indeed Ed Sheeran for managing small chart climbs against the rising tide of sherry and trifle.

In festive news, we welcome new-for-this-year tracks from George Ezra and Olivia Dean, and invite self-appointed Mr Christmas Michael Buble to delight us with a medley of three of his American-style faves. It's Brenda Lee's turn in the From The Vault slot, and Adele hangs on to the top spot for now at least.

Top of the Pops, 25th April 2019

Who would have bet seven weeks ago that the track to depose Lewis Capaldi from number 1 would be performed by Billy Ray Cyrus? But that's what's happened, and the man himself is here alongside Little Nas X.

Singersongwritermania continues to grip the UK: Tom Walker charges to a new chart peak, Lewis Capaldi still has the best seller, and George Ezra has now been on the chart for an entire year with Shotgun.

Top of the Pops, 10th January 2019

We're over a week into January but the chart is still in retrospective mode, a clearout of Christmas hits making way for some of 2018's biggest tracks to climb back up the chart. There is some fresh material, though: Ariana Grande and Post Malone both have lower-charting companions to their bigger hits, and Jax Jones and kiddie deities Pinkfong both take slow-burning hits to new chart peaks.

The biggest story, though, is Ava Max, who capped off a long chart climb with a jump to number 1 just after Christmas and isn't ready to give up the top spot just yet.
