Top of the Pops, 14th March 2024

The big winner at the BRITs is also the big performer on Top Of The Pops this week: Best New Act (among other things) RAYE celebrates ten years in the biz with three chart climbers, performed in an exclusive medley.

Also performing two tracks are Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign, whose latest batch of hits seems to have more chart staying power than usual. And there are new chart peaks for Djo, and Benson Boone's throaty woman-as-object anthem. Beyonce remains at number 1 and is joined by another classic country act for extra authenticity.

Top of the Pops, 22nd February 2024

US music royalty is here in abundance this week, with Beyonce off the dance bandwagon and on the country bandwagon, Kanye on the show for the first time in a while, and Taylor Swift reprising Cruel Summer in an exclusive mix played on glacial synths and percussion.

Top of the Pops, 9th September 2021

Momentarily taking some of the spotlight from King Ed Sheeran, none other than Kanye West blusters into town, riding a wave of three big instahits from his latest album. But even their star power might not quite match up to the combined wattage of Elton John and Dua Lipa. Or from a global perspective, BTS.

In addition, there's let another new track from hit machine Doja Cat, a David Guetta song that's been bubbling under for the last six weeks, and a very impressive chart climb by Glass Animals. And dancefloor royalty Becky Hill raises the tempo as always.

Debuts: Mistajam

Top of the Pops, 16th July 2020

We're swamped with new entries this week, mostly from the world of rap, both British and US, but also including the third banger from Joel Corry - it's starting to look like the first one wasn't a fluke. Ty Dolla $ign and co make the most impressive use of the multi-way Zoom functionality, with an unexpected TOTP debut from FKA Twigs.

The chart story of the week has to be the late Pop Smoke, whose album places three hits in the top 40 and one in the top ten. Jason and Jawsh hang on for a second week at the top.

Top of the Pops, 7th November 2019

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, 20th September 2018

It's a high-performing week here on TOTP, with every song featured being taken from the top 15 of the chart. That includes the highest new entry from Kanye West, who deigns to appear with Lil Pump in tow. And longer-running hits from Bastille, Loud Luxury, friend of the show Jess Glynne and the rest.

Another week, another Diplo supergroup. This time it's Silk City who crash the chart thanks mainly to Dua Lipa, although co-producer Mark Ronson isn't actually hereo on the show.

Top of the Pops, 14th June 2018

It's quite a varied week: we have guitar experimentation from the 1975, sincere bawling from Tom Walker, UK urban from newcomer AJ Tracey and Not3s, and even sometime presenter Dappy with his music hat back on.

The climax of the show, though, has to be top megastar Kanye West celebrating the success of his latest album with an extended, ranty two-song performance.

Debuts: Ay Em, AJ Tracey

Jess Glynne - I'll Be There

Up 3 to number 2

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 12th March 2015

Tons of new entries this week and not many climbers in the upper reaches, so we have room for a presumable future hit from Calvin Harris and Haim and a once again resurgent Imagine Dragons, among other varied delights.

Queen Taylor favours us with a visit, but she can't go on for too long because Kanye West is also here and he has two current hits to fit in. Anyway the week belongs to Years and Years as King receives its coronation.

Debuts: Alex Adair, Marlon Roudette.

Alex Adair - Make Me Feel Better

In at number 13

Marlon Roudette - When The Beat Drops Out

A lot of star power this week: Gaga, Miley and Lana all show up as well as Ellie Goulding returning triumphantly for a third week at number 1. TOTP veteran Shane Filan (ex-Westlife) is also here, kicking off a solo career. But the show is stolen by the irrepressible Rizzle Kicks, marauding all over the stage and through the audience and into your front room.

Up 1 to number 18
