Top of the Pops, 25th June 2015

Celebrating his fourth week at number 1, Jason Derulo also becomes the latest vocalist to put his spin on Uptown Funk as it climbs the chart yet again. And speaking of exclusive performances, David Guetta also invites Little Mix to take the Minaj role on Hey Mama, and they don't do a bad job.

Top of the Pops, 18th June 2015

Something for everyone here: a few old friends, a few new friends, a couple of exclusives. With Justin Bieber absent, his former associate Selena Gomez fills in the cut-up vocals on Where Are U Now, and the often-available Jessie J does similar duty for Martin Garrix.

Top of the Pops, 11th June 2015

It's an unusually high-flying week this week: every single act on the show is in the top 20. That includes new incomers from boy band Lawson and sing-and-rap act Natalie La Rose ft. Jeremih, and longer runners from Fetty Wap, Major Lazer and Kygo. Jason Derulo holds firm at the top, one-week chart toppers being the exception so far this year.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 28th May 2015

A Taylor Swift TOTP appearance always feels like an event, and this week's is no exception. She and Kendrick Lamar have the highest new entry and turn up in some style with a performance inspired by the video - including on-stage cameos from Ellie Goulding and Cara Delevingne.

Elsewhere it's Ella Eyre's turn to ably fill in for Bieber on the Skrillex/Diplo (aka Jack U) track, while Jessie J and Ne-Yo climb the charts and fun debutants are flown in from as far away as Australia and YouTube World.

Fourth week at number 1

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 30th October 2014

A week of consolidation in the chart sees several songs make micro-climbs, allowing them to come back for a second (or in some cases umpteenth) week. There's an electrifying new entry from Fuse ODG and we dig Tracy Chapman out of the vault, but once again the week is all about that Meghan Trainor (on video though, not in the studio).

Fuse ODG ft. Angel - TINA

PRESENTER: Abs from Five

Top of the Pops, 2nd October 2014

Even into October, the Summer of Heartfeltness continues: we have a second consecutive week without Sam Smith (?!) but his absence is more than made up for by further helpings of George Ezra and friend of the show Ed Sheeran. There's some good old-fashioned pop-dance as well, mind - a trio of pop queens sit at number 1, and Ariana Grande also gets the most out of her plan ticket and performs her own hit Break Free as well. Next week's likely number 1 is not here yet, but Power Music Workout represent the song with their cheeky ripoff, a troupe of hired dancers playing it for laughs.

Not sure why Cilla Black is lurking in the chart's lower reaches, but From the Vault digs her out so that we can speculate.

Debuts: Power Music Workout.

Ariana Grande - Break Free

Up 4 to number 24

George Ezra - Blame It On Me

Up 3 to number 7

Shift K3Y - I Know

In at number 25

Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud

High Climber - Up 39 to number 13

Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang

Top of the Pops, 1 May 2014

Helped by the school holidays, interest in Disney's Frozen has surged once again, sending three of the chart phenomenon's songs including the mighty Let It Go back up the top 40. Kristen Bell and friend of the show Idina Menzel drop by once again to do them justice. Most other performers this week are new entries, including a Robin Thicke-less DJ Cassidy, TOTP debutants Indiana, Joel Compass and Cash Cash, and the latest new number 1, Mr Probz.

Top of the Pops, 26th September 2013

Second TOTP appearance for the Wanted this week, but the big news is two appearances from US megastars - Linkin Park and Nicki Minaj, who appears without Chris Brown who was otherwise engaged. Plinky plonky singers Christina Perri and Birdy both appear with possibly X-Factor-related chart ascents, while Jason Derulo crashes in at the top with 2 Chainz along for the ride.

PRESENTER: Marvin Humes

Top of the Pops, 20th June 2013

It's back! Welcome to the first episode of the all-new, same old Top of the Pops. Since this is the grand re-commissioning, I've assumed that every artist we ask makes the effort to turn up. That won't be the case in all the weeks to come, but for now let's enjoy the perfect line-up for this week.

 

Jessie J ft Dizzee Rascal - Wild

Up 2 to number 6 - Who better to kick off the show than your friend and mine, Jessie J? Sadly Big Sean is unavailable, so instead we get a lean, trimmed-down Jessie and Dizzee performance to get things jumping.

Wiley ft Angel and Tinchy Strider - Lights On

Highest New Entry - In at number 9 - The fast tempo continues as Wiley, Angel and Tinchy take the stage.

Leah McFall - I Will Survive

Up 8 to number 16 - Something a bit unusual here. Leah is too busy with preparations for The Voice final to come on TOTP, so we run the tape of her crowd-pleasing original performance of this song, mixed with clips of her journey through The Voice and Will I Am pratting about.

Passenger - Let Her Go

Up 1 to number 3 - Here's this week's slowie. The lights dim, the candles come out and the audience gather round the small, square stage to sway and dab at their eyes.

Mariah Carey and Miguel - #Beautiful

Up 1 to number 23 - Both Mariah and Miguel miraculously make it in for a top-class performance that's sure to send this one soaring up the chart next week.

Bruno Mars - Treasure

Up 2 to number 13 - Here's something you won't get anywhere else. Previous single When I Was Your Man is also making its way back up the chart this week, so Bruno favours us with a medley of both songs. He wears a hat.

From the Vault: Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Summertime

Up 5 to number 36 - This week's oldie is this much-loved summer classic. The custodians of the tape vault dig out a fun performance from 1991, which looks all the better by comparison with the Prince's current exploits in sci-fi funfest After Earth.

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed

High Climber - Up 46 to number 7 - Taylor and Ed bring the emotion for an intense performance of their duet.

Psy - Gentleman

Up 34 to number 17 - He couldn't miss the relaunch of the greatest show on TV. Zooming back up the chart especially for us, Psy tears the house down with a lavishly staged performance of his second best song, involving confetti cannons, two dozen dancers and an on-stage limo.

Robin Thicke ft Pharrell - Blurred Lines

Third week at number 1 - No Hayden Panetierre this time, but Robin and Pharrell both turn up to close the show.

PRESENTER: Steve Jones
