Top of the Pops, 17th August 2023

After last week's pink dominance, this week Doja Cat's return paints the TOTP studio red. Chase and Status also have a big climber to go alongside their now top ten hit alongside Becky Hill, and several hits from earlier in the summer are climbing back up the chart.

Dave and Central Cee make it ten weeks at the top - often the end of the road for number 1s due to the chart rules. They rope in some other guests to make the performance a memorable one.

Barbiemania is starting to ramp up: after Dua Lipa last week, there are two tracks this week from the pink-hued doll movie. Also of note is the debut solo single from Jung Kook, and there are strong new entries from Becky Hill, J Hus, and Troye Sivan with his first real hit for a while.

Top of the Pops, 22nd June 2023

It's Dave and Central Cee's week again: Sprinter stays at the top and their two other collabs both reach new peaks just a little lower down. Not even a strong showing from J Hus and global superstar Drake can spoil their party.

Party vibes are also brought by the Jonas Brothers, Rudimental, and in unbelievably basic form, Nathan Dawe and Joel Corry. There's a rousing return for Sam Fender and a pretty surprising instance of Shania Twain as well.

Top of the Pops, 8th June 2023

Legend in her own lifetime Taylor Swift is back on the show, soaring up the chart with Karma. Other big pop names who are featured include friend of the show Dua Lipa, and arguably the Jonas Brothers, who finally climb high enough to get on after a couple of months in the lower reaches of the chart.

Lil Durk is back for another bite, and Ellie Goulding ropes in J Hus to add a bit of grime flavour to Miracle in its seventh week on top. A Tina Turner tribute is in the From The Vault slot.

It's been a longish climb, but the latest fizzer from chart heavyweight Lewis Capaldi has made it all the way to the top. He's run fairly close by friends of the show Dua Lipa and The Weeknd.

We've also got a couple of special performances: a double header from the ever more impressive Billie Eilish, and a new album sampler from man of the moment J Hus. Maroon 5 and Harry Styles bring the pop disco.

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.

Top of the Pops, 20th June 2019

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, 13th June 2019

It's a most peculiar chart this week: a completely static top twelve, then several impressive new entries, and some nice climbers all together after that. The biggest beneficiary is of course King Ed Sheeran; this week he invites friend of the show Jess Glynne to fill in for Bieber in a nice exclusive.

We're also delighted to welcome back Katy Perry, and there's a nice britrap contingent as well as the latest relationship wreckage anthem from Lewis Capaldi.

Top of the Pops, 21st March 2019

The man of the moment is Dave, who has three new entries in the top 11 and performs all of them in a six minute rap party. Also bringing the posse is Wiley, who has Sean Paul, Idris Elba and Stefflon Don all present for the remix of Boasty.

Lewis Capaldi shows no sign of leaving the number 1 spot, and also looking very long-lived are Panic At The Disco, still in the top 40 after well over six months.

Debuts: Idris Elba (as performer), Burna Boy

Panic At The Disco - High Hopes

Top of the Pops, 1st February 2018

SMASH! King Ed Sheeran's run at number 1 is over, and who else should do the deed but our other leading chart wizard, Drake? He comes straight in at the top.

There is grime all over the rest of the show, with Steel Banglez, Yungen, Mostack, Not3s, Mabel and J Hus representing the best of British youth. Some contrast is provided by Portugal The Man's peppy number, and the US is represented by G-Eazy, Halsey and a French Montana double hit.

Top of the Pops, 25th May 2017

Fonsi and Yankee hold on at the top and, in the absence of Bieber, it's the full Spanish original version this week. ¡Olé! There's a strong new entry game too, with Maggie Linderman, Paramore (in their TOTP debut!) and the reinvented Miley Cyrus all debuting new-to-TOTP hits.

If you like exclusive performances, you'll love what Disciples and Rag 'n' Bone Man are doing this week: they combine their two long running hits into one brain-scouring mashup. Plus Harry Styles gives us his album sampler, and J Hus, who also has several tracks in the top 75 donchano, medlifies two of them as well.

Debuts: Maggie Lindemann, Mostack, Mist, Paramore, Kyle.

Maggie Lindemann - Pretty Girl

Top of the Pops, 11th May 2017

Huge, old-style new entry incoming: DJ Khaled and a bunch of people but, to be fair, mainly Justin Bieber smash their way in at number 1. Khaled is here and, while he hasn't brough all his buds, Justin is in the building. Hooray! Not only that: since he's here, he's also good enough to take the stage with Demi Lovato and do the male voice bits in her song that sound more or less like him anyway on the record.

Also invading our airspace are Ellie Goulding and Charlie Puth, and there are longer runners from Disciples, Anne-Marie (who just can't say goodbye) and J Hus. Mr Hus also injects a bit of newness into an exclusive version of Rag 'n' Bone Man's modern classic.

Debuts: Quavo.

Kygo ft. Ellie Goulding - First Time

Top of the Pops, 27th April 2017

TOTP has a decidedly urban feel this week, as J Hus, Future and this week's chart dominator Kendrick Lamar all roll up. Plus of course Ed Sheeran returns to number 1 with the more urban-flavoured of his two hits; have we all forgotten poor Castle on the Hill now?

The rest of the show is female-dominated. Larsson, Gaga, Lovato and Michaels are as good a pop star line-up as you'll find anywhere, I'd say. And who thought that Cheat Codes would be back? It's nice, too, that half the show is made up of fresh material.

Debuts: Future

Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson - Symphony

Up 2 to number 2

Kendrick Lamar - Humble / DNA / Element

Up 1, fourteenth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 16th March 2017

It's the moment we'd all awaited with bated breath: Captain Ed Sheeran releases his album and dominates the top 20, leaving little room for anything else and in particular making it very hard for other songs to climb the chart. But it's certainly historic. We're pretty restrained here on TOTP and stick to just four Ed songs, viz, his still-dominant number 1 and his three highest entries. These form a fun triptych where he meets a girl in the world's most authentic Irish bar, falls head over heels in love, then gets dumped and loveably slags off her new fella.

Aside from that, we've actually managed to cobble together a fairly watchable show. There are biggish new entries from Lorde (hugely anticipated) and Little Mix (friends of the show), plus lower-down climbers from Julia Michaels, J Hus, Bruno Mars and Martin Jensen's unkillable dance track. Fresh, diverse, what more could you ask for?

Debuts: None.

Little Mix - No More Sad Songs

In at number 39

Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl / Perfect / New Man

Highest New Entry - In at number 2 / In at number 4 / In at number 5

Julia Michaels - Issues

Bruno Mars - That's What I Like

Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You

Ninth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Ellie Goulding

Top of the Pops, 9th March 2017

So far this year it's mostly been the Ed Sheeran show, but while this week's TOTP contains a certain amount of Ed, the week really belongs to Stormzy. His entire album has invaded the chart so he treats us to three tracks here, and also pops up at the end of the show for his feature on the Sheeran remix.

It's a little surprising that a new Calvin Harris track is the week's second or third biggest story, but he's here, undaunted, with all his collaborators (including a low-key TOTP debut for the feted Frank Ocean). We also have friends of the show Little Mix and Dua Lipa, another appearance from Rag 'N' Bone Man, and some solid numbers-making-up from Maroon 5.

Debuts: Frank Ocean, Ghetts, J Hus

Calvin Harris ft. Frank Ocean and Migos - Slide

In at number 10

Stormzy ft. Ghetts and J Hus - Big For Your Boots / Cold / Bad Boys

Up 11 to number 6 / Highest New Entry - In at number 21 / In at number 22
