Top of the Pops, 9th January 2025

Happy 2025 and we start with the strangest chart of the year, when all the Christmas songs melt away like snow, making way for a top ten best summarised as "bangers from the last four months". That means a high-quality show with Gigi Perez, Teddy Swims and Gracie Abrams and others all lined up to reprise their pre-Christmas hits.

Amid all that, there's a new entry for Ella Henderson, while Lola Young may have the most potential of the just-before-Christmas bubbler-unders.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 7th November 2024

Incredible scenes this week as the number 1 single is... not Sabrina Carpenter! Instead it's Gigi Perez, capping off one of the more impressive chart climbs of the year with (at least) a week at the very top. Sabrina is not to be defeated completely though, as newer hit Bed Chem is looming ominously in the lower reaches of the top ten.

Other big news includes a big new entry from Lady Gaga, and the release of Tyler the Creator's album, sampled here with two choice tracks. Addison Rae doubles up as well, adding new hit Aquamarine to the still-climbing Diet Pepsi.

Top of the Pops, 3rd October 2024

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2024

With Sabrina Carpenter still at the top and the returning Oasis charging into the top ten as well, here's another week where most of the top 40 is nudged down and some of the lower-charting hits get a chance to shine. That means the long-awaited return of friends of the show Clean Bandit, as well as slow climbers from Kid Laroi, Zach Bryan and Benson Boone (by name as well as by nature).

Gigi Perez is here with a reprise of popular word-of-mouth hit Sailor Song, and Billie Eilish gives us another look at the dreamy Birds Of A Feather.
