Top of the Pops, 2nd November 2023

Kenya Grace makes it three weeks at number 1, with the nearest featured competition being Noah Kahan's welcome surprise of a hit, just on the fringe of the top ten. Lower down Bastille are back in the chart for some reason, Olivia Rodrigo resurrects Vampire, and Kid Laroi has the highest new entry. But the most special performance is from Dave and Central Cee, who reprise their summer smash and finally reveal the identities of the nine girls they put in their Sprinter.

With the exception of a new smash from top-tier megastar Drake, this is one of the more left-field Top of the Pops editions in recent memory, with an assortment of up-and-comers, bubbler-unders and surprise hits. That includes Kenya Grace, who deservedly makes the final hop up to number 1, as well as breakthroughs from Noah Kahan and Suicidal-Idol.
