Top of the Pops, 16th November 2023

After the deep cuts of last week, this week sees a lot of movement in the top ten, meaning that we catch up with long-running hits from Casso (a sweet candlelight version this week), Tyla and Tate McRae. International superstar Jung Kook is also resurgent, and Olivia Rodrigo hits the top 20 with yet another new track.

Longtime friend of the show Zara Larsson makes a welcome appearance, but of course the top spot is reserved for the Fab Four: Ringo appears in the studio to introduce a video montage.

After well over two months at the top, who is finally the person to knock off Miley Cyrus? Of course it's King Ed Sheeran, who wafts effortlessly in at number 1 with his latest hit. He's not the only new entrant here either - we have BTS star Jimin as well as Bakar and Paris Paloma.

A slight drop in pressure at the top of the chart allows us to catch up with some of the songs that have been racking up impressive recent runs in and around the top ten: Belters Only, Mimi Webb, Jax and MNEK, and especially Aitch who this time brings along Ashanti in person. She's still got it.

Top of the Pops, 17th March 2022

Fully half of the show this week is new British rap smashes: A1 and J1, Russ Millions, Arrdee and especially Dave who teleports in at the very top to mean that finally, no one is talking about Bruno.

This week's big chart movers are D-Block Europe, Tion Wayne and especially Mimi Webb, who drops directly into the top ten - could she be another GAYLE?

We've also got the latest Jax Jones banger, which has been climbing the chart for a while, plus reprises from Lost Frequencies (another new peak this week), Fireboy DML and Lauren Spencer-Smith.

This week there are two acts making their debuts: Arz and Oliver Tree. The resurgent Glass Animals hit yet another new high, while Central Cee (with samplee Pinkpantheress guesting in person this week) also climbs more or less as high as you can without being in the Ed Sheeran tier.

Top of the Pops, 2nd September 2021

What's better than nine weeks at number 1? King Ed Sheeran has the answer: nine weeks at number 1 AND the highest new entry. He performs both to close the show, but not before we all enjoy a rip-roaring line-up including friends of the show Clean Bandit, Joel Corry and Charli XCX, newcomer Clinton Kane and RnB MVP Doja Cat.

Top of the Pops, 26th November 2020

The big new hit this week is from Billie Eilish, who just misses out on dethroning Queen Ariana Grande but makes significant waves none the less. Also new to the show is CJ, who makes his big chart charge after hovering around the lower reaches for a few weeks.

James Arthur is never off the show lately and this week is no exception. Another of the stories of the year, 24KGolden, is also here to reprise his big hit, and Baccara are dug up out of the vault for some reason.

Top of the Pops, 5th November 2020

After several weeks of mostly slow climbers, today sees fireworks as three songs zoom straight into the top ten: friends of the show Little Mix, KSI, and right at the top Ariana Grande making her big return.

That pushes a lot of other songs downwards, meaning we're also able to feature several acts from lower down the top 40, including a rare sighting of actual guitars in the hands of Bring Me The Horizon. Central Cee makes his debut, and there are welcome pop-ins from Jax Jones and Sam Smith.

Top of the Pops, 23rd April 2020

The Weeknd is still at the top, quietly getting closer to having one of the all-time runs at number 1. How long can he hold it? Without much new material appearing to challenge him, maybe quite a long time.

We do have new-to-TOTP songs from Jones and Solveig's Europa project, Khalid and Disclosure, and the lockdown-appropriate hit from JP Saxe, one of three TOTP debuts this week. And Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion continue to make chart inroads.

Top of the Pops, 5th December 2019

Stormzy launches his bid for Christmas number 1, recruiting King Ed Sheeran and chart dark horse Burna Boy to help him. But it's looking like Tones & I may cling on, having first topped the chart back in October.

The new Kanye West album is out, so we have the man himself in the studio performing its three strongest-streaming tracks. Although Selena Gomez has outperformed all of them, zooming up the chart and into the top three.

We've also got friends of the show Coldplay returning with the very Coldplayesque Orphans, another riotous performance from Lizzo, and some terrible misogynistic din from Blackbear.

Top of the Pops, 5th September 2019

It must be Q4: Taylor Swift smashes into the chart with three tracks from her new album, the biggest of which she performs in person. King Ed Sheeran also takes a salmon-like leap up to the top spot.

Top of the Pops, 15th August 2019

She hasn't been away all that long, but it's nice to see Ariana Grande hasn't lost her ability to materialise in the upper reaches of the chart at will. King Ed Sheeran, alongside the mighty Stormzy, is also now making inroads with yet another of his wildly popular duets.

In other news, we get a couple of round-ups of some lower-down hits thanks to three-song medleys from Drake and new friend of the show Aitch. And with Shawn Mendes unavailable, it falls to Stormzy to serenade Camila Cabello in the top position.

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.

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.

Two earth-shaking entries rock the top five: Taylor Swift returning alongside Brendon Urie, and the mighty Stormzy knocking Lil Nas X off the chart pinnacle.

There's also Rita Ora featuring on a Kygo track, friend of the show Zara Larsson, and two and a half minutes of birdsong from the RSPB, so that's enjoyable.

Lewis Capaldi reaches a fairly elite seven weeks at the top of the chart, so he appears once again, this time with a two-song medley. As does friend of the show Khalid, the surprisingly reliable hitmaker also doing double duty.

Ava Max is finally invited to perform the follow-up to her surprise chart topper from January, and we also have an international flavour thanks to debutantes Blackpink and the Jax Jones/Martin Solveig Europa project.
