Top of the Pops, 28th May 2020

Some big names (working from home still) appear on the show this week: Katy Perry has the highest new entry, and Nicki Minaj reprises her guest spot on Doja Cat's track as part of a two-song medley. Ava Max is back too, and the likeable Simba pounces into the top five.

DaBaby holds firm at number 1, but there's yet more fresh material from RAYE (acoustic version of her track with Regard) and Topic lower down. Lots going on.

Once again Top of the Pops brings you some of the biggest names in music. Taylor Swift opens the show with her none-more-prim new single, and Drake performs three times: on his own song, alongside the dashing Chris Brown, and filling in for Justin Bieber alongside King Ed Sheeran.

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, 7th September 2017

Taylor Swift booms in at the top in a way that we'd almost forgotten about. Big new release, and if you look carefully you can see Right Said Fred in the audience bopping away as she sings.

Elsewhere, friend of the show Camila Cabello has yet another concurrent hit, and there's more new material from Macklemore and - uh-oh! - Katy Perry. I expect Pink will keep the peace.

Debuts: Macklemore (without Ryan Lewis).

A new number 1: congratulations to Calvin Harris and his mob of megastars, who rise an all-important two places to deny Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee semana número doce at número uno. French Montana also reaches a new peak of number 2, and in fact there's a lot of fresh blood all the way down the top 30; we feature newies from Yungen and Lil Uzi Vert (modern!) and nearly-newies from the Script and Louis Tomlinson.

There's a glittering list of stars on Top Of The Pops this week. Not only do we have the all-star line-up of the Grenfell Tower charity single, there are also big debuts from DJ Khaled with Rihanna (gasp!) and Calvin Harris with three of his famous friends. Plus Rita Ora, Hailee Steinfeld and Selena Gomez - no small names themselves.

Top of the Pops, 23rd February 2017

Lots of female solo singers this week: friend of the show Zara Larsson, lady of the moment Dua Lipa, hot prospect Anne-Marie and, from lower down the chart, newcomer Julia Michaels. Oh, and Katy Perry, who not only performs her comeback single but does a cheeky turn taking Taylor Swift's lines on the ZAYN track. Only on TOTP, folks.

The show is bookended by hoarier fare, though, with Rag 'N' Bone Man kicking things off and the immovable Ed Sheeran closing the show. Tracks from X are climbing the chart again, so he's even able to mix a bit of Thinking Out Loud into the new one for all you eager fans.

Debuts: Julia Michaels, Skip Marley

Rag 'N' Bone Man - Skin

Despite his extended stay at number 1 Drake hasn't been into the studio for a couple of weeks, but he puts that right tonight, bringing us both his current hits with a guest violinist and harpsichord player to keep things fresh. He matches Wet Wet Wet this week and Whigfield doesn't have a single out so he may equal Mr Adams in seven days' time.

This week's debut is girl band M.O., not to be confused with the bendy Scandi vocalist MØ who was on last week. The other big news is the return of Katy Perry, and the line-up is completed by popular boy band 5SOS, the return of Snakehips, friend of the show Ariana Grande, the continued efforts of Becky Hill, and Shawn Mendes's red pill anthem.

Debuts: M.O.

At last, we Radio 1 listeners will be able to turn our radios back on without fear of hearing yet more about the Big Weekend that we aren't going to. But the event's aftershocks do rumble TOTP this week, as Katy Perry and Pharrell to name but two float back up the charts.

Friends of the show Coldplay's album debuts at number 1 and sends three of its tracks into the singles countdown as well, so Chris Martin's and co bring us an album sampler. Sean the Paul, here as guest on Fuse ODG's track, fills in for Snoop on the Jason Derulo joint for another TOTP one-off.

Top of the Pops, 17th April 2014

As another soulful house anthem crashes in at the top, Sigma rise to the challenge of standing out and bring a confetti carnival of dancers and singers to sell their smash. The Vamps are no less ebullient, and Paloma Faith is on imperious form as her song gets a second wind. 

Katy Perry's rapping friend Juicy J is elsewhere, so Iggy and Charli seize the chance to add a sassy one-off rap of their own, freshening up Dark Horse in its 16th week on the chart. And there are entries from two much-loved veteran pop bands, the Saturdays and the Kaiser Chiefs, plus newcomer Tove Lo.

The Vamps - Last Night

Top of the Pops, 27th February 2014

It's been a Britsy week. Five of our acts here are Brit Award winners or performers, including Bastille and Rudimental reprising their team-up from the ceremony itself (and even our presenter, Duffy, is a three-time former winner). Katy Perry even brings most of her set from the Brits show along with her. Non-Brit tracks include newies from Tegan and Sara and A Great Big World, plus a long-running mid-hit from Idina Menzel. Critics' Choice Sam Smith actually has four songs in the top 75, but this week is all about Money On My Mind.

This week's big name is Katy Perry, here with Juicy J as Dark Horse gets a second wind and canters up to the top ten after seven weeks on the chart - a dark horse indeed. At the other end of the star spectrum is "DJ Stay The Night" with a pre-emptive cover of a not-yet-released song by Zedd; the collective of shadowy studio goons make the most of their week on the telly. Friends of the show OneRepublic give us a two-hit medley, and Clean Bandit are still at the top of the pile, grinning like the Cheshire cats they are.

Top of the Pops, 6th February 2014

Almost everything is new this week, though that's not to say there aren't some familiar faces. Will.i.am only brings one of his guest stars along this week, turning the track into an extended freestyle as he and French Montana try to top each other. Dappy is also in the building, on the back of his Celebrity Big Brother appearance, and Katy B does justice to her big dance ballad anthem. Holding fast at number 1 are Clean Bandit, who turn up this week with a full string section in tow.

This is OneRepublic's week once again, as they celebrate their bounce back to the top with streamers and confetti. Katy Perry also flies the US flag, but a few other high-up Americans are absent this week, allowing Passenger and TOTP stalwarts John Newman and Ellie Goulding to return with quirky twists on their evergreen hits.

A mixture of old and new this week. High climbers OneRepublic make a startling leap after a month on the chart already, and fellow slow-burners Olly Murs and Bastille also come onto the radar. Meanwhile, Coldplay and Example crash back in with brand new hits. Can they climb higher next week? Katy Perry isn't present, but that means we're treated to the Roar video in all its jungle glory.

A couple of American acts with long-lived hits finally make the trip this week. Elsewhere, Katy Perry delights the crowd with her 'I'm back!' smash hit, and friends of the show the Arctic Monkeys give us both of their current hits stuck together.
