Top of the Pops, 23rd January 2025

In a lot of cases the big hits of 2025 are still the big hits of 2024: Pawsa and Chrystal are back again and Gracie Abrams is still on top.

It's a Billie Eilish week this week. Although she doesn't quite do enough to knock Sabrina Carpenter off the top (yet), she dominates the top ten with three hits from her new album, two of which are performed on the show. Also doubling up is Natasha Bedingfield, both of whose resurrected bangers are climing the chart this week.

Top of the Pops, 25th April 2024

There's lots of chart activity this week, with friend of the show Dua Lipa and the first solo single from Perrie (Edwards) (from Little Mix) both crashing the top ten - but neither with as much of a jolt as Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso.

There are also chart inroads being made by David Guetta and the exciting new talent Chappell Roan, while Mark Ambor reaches another new chart peak. Clementine Douglas is here with a solo, Madonna-less version of Happier. And the world-weary stylings of Hozier are still at number 1.

2024's parade of gravelly-voiced, whiskey-soaked, wizened troubadors rolls on with none other than Hozier making a slightly unexpected vault into pole position. Only a little behind him are Artemas, Dasha and Djo, all on impressive runs.

Spring has sprung and we have a very fresh show this week with a ton of new entries - Future, Hozier and Olivia Rodrigo in the top ten, and NewEra and Artemas lower down. Even Benson Boone at the top of the chart is able to pair his track of the moment with a new offering.

Lots of non-movers and dippers in the chart this week, so we uncover some hidden and not-so-hidden gems from outside the Top 40 - a twosie from 5 Seconds Of Summer and that old sludger from Hozier. Maroon 5 and Fifth Harmony also pop up to take advantage of the chart's tranquility.

Florence + The Machine have been floating around the lower reaches of the chart for a while now, waiting for a week without too many climbers higher up so that they can get on the show. This is that week, so welcome Florence, along with a returning Rita Ora, new guys Krept & Konan, and a triumphant chart-bestraddling performance from Lost Frequencies.

Multi-week chart climber OMI has now reached the top, so he is welcomed into the studio once again for a valedictory performance. There are also two debuts from artists who would have been heavily featured if TOTP had been on during the wilderness years: Justin Bieber and the ever ebullient Carly Rae Jepsen; it's a pretty ebullient week, in fact, with Meghan Trainor also featured.

The January slow period is over and we have four new entries in the studio, including TOTP debuts for Karen Harding, Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo. Even so, there's still room for Hozier and James Bay, who both reach new chart peaks this week, and a re-showed vintage performance from Jay-Z and Linkin Park.

Top of the Pops, 8th January 2015

We're back after the (genuinely made and broadcast) Christmas TOTP and with the chart in its annual gift-voucher period, several of the year's biggest hits are climbing once again. Hence medleys from year-defining acts George Ezra (celebrating the number 1 album) and Bandit/Glynne, as well as the quietly popular Guetta/Martin combo, alongside more current hits from Philip George and Blonde.

John Newman pops in without Calvin Harris for a solo rendition of Blame, accompanied by six people dressed exactly like him doing the same irresistible dance moves. And the number one is Mark Ronson, but sadly we can only show the video. Our producers are working frantically to get him in the studio should he hold on at the top next week.
