Top of the Pops, 20th November 2025

Taylor Swift hops back up to number 1, allowing her to bring us a combined performance of The Fate Of Ophelia and secondary hit Elizabeth Taylor. The displaced act, K-Pop Demon Hunters, are on the show as well with their own secondary hit How It's Done.

New stuff comes from Fred Again and Digga, and there are new chart peaks for Kehlani's ballad and EsDeeKid's northwestern grime. Woman of the year Olivia Dean and the new most-likely-to Skye Newman recur as well.

Top of the Pops, 13th November 2025

We're a bit after Halloween now but because of the way the chart weeks work, this week is the peak of pumpkinmania - so we have Rockwell in the From The Vault slot and also Andrew Gold with his spooky skeletons. Perhaps scarier than that, though, is the righteous fury of Lily Allen whose ex-drubbings continue to climb.

There's a new entry for EsDeeKid and yet another decent sized hit from this year's breakout Olivia Dean - she performs in a fun spooky costume, as do the K-Pop Demon Hunters who now hit double digit weeks at the top.

PRESENTER: Scarlett Johansson

Top of the Pops, 6th November 2025

Lots of new entries on the show this week, from Dave, chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi, hot young thing Skye Newman and perhaps most seismically Lily Allen, who performs a two-track sampler from her media-ensorcelling new album.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters manage an impressive little leap up to number 1, displacing Taylor Swift who nevertheless appears with a secondary overlapping hit. And from way down the chart, Le Sserafim take advantage of a lack of other chartbreakers to snatch their debut on the show.

Debuts: Le Sserafim

Top of the Pops, 30th October 2025

Sam Fender ups the ante this week, being joined not only by the breakout chart star of the year (non-K-pop category) Olivia Dean, but also by Sir Elton John! TOTP magic right there.

Viewers are also delighted to receive a double performance from Tame Impala, the returns of Esdeekid and Kehlani, and the first appearance of Joji for three years. And there's yet another K-Pop Demon Hunters song.

PRESENTER: Lauren Layfield

Top of the Pops, 23rd October 2025

It's fair to say that the charts are female-dominated at the moment, but it's rare for every song on Top of the Pops to be female-led. It's no bad thing, though - especially this week when there are exciting new hits for Jisoo and especially Sienna Spiro, plus returning heavyweights RAYE and Sabrina Carpenter.

Tinashe finally appears with an exclusive solo version of No Broke Boys, and there's an equally special double showing from Olivia Dean, who has three songs in the top ten just now. But they're not as high up as the three songs of Taylor Swift - the week belongs to her once again.

Debuts: Jisoo, Sienna Spiro

Jisoo ft. ZAYN - Eyes Closed

In at number 37

Tinashe - No Broke Boys

Up 2 to number 18

Sienna Spiro - Die On This Hill

Taylor Swift - The Fate Of Ophelia

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Adrian Chiles

Top of the Pops, 2nd October 2025

With somewhat of a dearth of climbers in the top 40, the bookers this week have to delve down and find some deep cuts, which means unexpected opportunities for Esdeekid, friend of the show Anne-Marie, the returning Marino and Oskar Med K. Higher up there are a couple of big entries for RAYE and chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi. Lola Young brings us a double bill and the K-Pop Demon Hunters delight us with a fully animated big band version of Golden.

Debuts: Oskar Med K, Esdeekid, Rico Ace

RAYE - Where Is My Husband?

PRESENTERS: Alex Ward and Abbie Matthews

Top of the Pops, 25th September 2025

A lot of this show serves as a refresher on recent hits you might have missed: two from Sombr, two from Alex Warren, the always delightful Sam and Olivia duet, the recent number 1 from Chappell Roan. Then on the other hand we've got the latest entry from King Ed Sheeran, and entries into the top 40 for KATSEYE and the classy Kehlani ballad. The K-Pop Demon Hunters show no sign of budging from number 1.

Debuts: None

Seventh week at number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 18th September 2025

Top of the Pops this week is quite the parade of global megastars: Rihanna, Gaga, Sabrina, Calvin, Justin Bieber... and the popstar of the year so far Olivia Dean doesn't seem out of place in that company. Disco Lines reach another new chart peak, and there's a triple performance from the biggest stars of all, the K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Rihanna - Breakin' Dishes

PRESENTER: Lauren Layfield

Top of the Pops, 11th September 2025

It's one of those weeks where the chart tides are ebbing, meaning that several hits from outside the top 40 get featured. We've got Kehlani, Denon Reed and Cru2, and in keeping with the current K-Pop trend, KATSEYE - not all Korean, but very much in the K tradition.

The spotlight for the week, though, has to be on the big new entry for last year's queen Sabrina Carpenter. Plus for those who like their music critically acclaimed, a rare appearance from Tyler The Creator.

Debuts: Denon Reed, Cru2

KATSEYE - Gabriela

Up 7 to number 46

Sabrina Carpenter - Tears

Fifth week at number 1 / Up 3 to number 24

PRESENTER: Optimus Prime

Top of the Pops, 4th September 2025

If anything might overshadow the K-Pop Demon Hunters megastory it's surely got to be the return of Rihanna - only at number 40, but still. Charting higher and maybe arguably even a bigger star these days is Doja Cat, and Olivia Dean, with older hit Dive this time, makes it sort of three generations of pop queens.

Drake isn't here this week but his collaborator Central Cee delivers an exclusive solo version of Which One, there's the first sighting of Stray Kids in a couple of years, and King Ed Sheeran pops up too.

Debuts: None

Ed Sheeran - A Little More

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 28th August 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters chart onslaught continues: they remain at number 1, and other songs such as Your Idol continue to be magnetically drawn towards the chart's upper placings. Not only that, girl group Twice, who've previously been heard under the Demon Hunters umbrella, are now here performing in their own right.

In non-K-pop news, the highest new entry is another strong showing by the new golden girl Olivia Dean, Gunna and Burna Boy charge into the top 40, and there's a double bill from the quietly-very-successful-just-now Sombr.

Debuts: Twice (non-demon hunting)

Twice - Strategy

Up 10 to number 45

Top of the Pops, 21st August 2025

After a dip last week, the remarkable K-Pop Demon Hunters are back up to number 1 - and they perform yet another of their vast array of hits as well this week. The displaced Chappell Roan is still on the show, though, to reprise the evergreen Pink Pony Club.

We've also go the lastest top 20 entry from King Ed Sheeran, and the welcome returns of BlackPink, Fred Again and Olivia Dean (summer of Dean!). And Alex Warren. Oasis continue the residence in the From The Vault slot with another punchy hit from yesteryear.

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 14th August 2025

Chappell Roan comes out of nowhere to curtail the K-Pop Demon Hunters' stay at number 1 after a single week - but they are back anyway with their secondary top ten hit Soda Pop. Also showing good chart stamina are Rossi, Disco Lines (plus low-key superstar Tinashe) and the duetters of the moment Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. 

The summer of Oasis continues in the From The Vault slot, as their fan favourite Slide Away actually makes the top 40 for the first time.

Top of the Pops, 7th August 2025

This week the K-Pop Demon Hunters cap one of the all-time chart climbs by easing up the last few places to number 1 - congratulations to them. Just a bit lower down, Drake continues his impressive record of high chart entries, and we also have new hits by recent chart phenom Sombr and Miss Messy Lola Young.

With the K-Poppers and also Ozzy Osbourne (RIP) pushing everyone else down, there's room for a debut appearance by Marino down at number 50, and reprises of ever-popular hits from Myles Smith and King Ed Sheeran.

Top of the Pops, 31st July 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters continue their march up the chart, now with three songs in the top 20 and appearing on Top of the Pops for a fourth week in a row. Some chart shuffling allows repeat appearances for resilient mid-level hits from Pinkpantheress and Max Dean and co, and Sombr and Chappell Roan are also back.

Justin Bieber surprises a few people with a three-place nip up to the top spot, and there's a very strong new entry from Alex Warren, plus another hit of his that has Jelly Roll on it; they favour us with an energetic double performance.

Top of the Pops, 24th July 2025

Not for the first time this year there are two K-pop acts on the show, with BlackPink joining the Demon Hunters in the top 20. The biggest new entry of the week, though, is the ever-reliable Justin Bieber.

After their debut last week, the K-Pop Demon Hunters are back with two songs this time. Also returning are King Ed Sheeran and (now four in a row) Olivia Dean. Friend of the show Tate McRae is back as well, and international megastar Drake provides even more star power.

Perhaps surprisingly, Lewis Capaldi's drop allows MK and Chrystal to hop up to the top spot - well done to them!

Top of the Pops, 10th July 2025

There's a strong international flavour to the line-up this week: Lorde from New Zealand, CMAT from Ireland, the Demon Hunters from Korea, Alex Warren from the US and Rose from Korea (again). Presiding over all, though perhaps not the chart force he once was, is the UK's own King Ed Sheeran.

Scotland does pretty well too, with friend of the show Lewis Capaldi topping the chart and Calvin Harris also turning out. And here's Olivia Dean for the third week in a row: summer of Dean!
