Top of the Pops, 12th April 2018

Incredible chart scenes this week as the novelty hit of the minute by Lil Dicky leaps up to number one! Over in the world of more grown up music, friend of the show The Weeknd has his album out and brings us three tracks from it, and with Keala Settle unavailable, Ke$ha pops up for an exclusive performance of her enduring hit from The Greatest Showman.

There's also a strong British-urban showing thanks to MoStack and Yxng Bane, while Dua Lipa and Jason Derulo round out the line-up.

Top of the Pops, 24th August 2017

In a mild coincidence, there are appearances this week for both Kelli-Leigh and Jax Jones, who previously collaborated on the summer house classic I Got U. Funnily enough their co-credit on that track (well, Kelli wasn't credited, but whatever), Duke Dumont, also has a song further down the chart - perhaps he'll make the cut next week.

After quite a sludgy summer we're seeing a lot of chart movement just now, with big tunes from P!nk and Kesha also making their presence felt. The biggest news is of course Dua Lipa making a startling leap up to number 1 from four places below. Her fellow British-Kosovan Rita Ora is also on the show with a resurgent Your Song.

Debuts: James Hype, Kelli Leigh (credited), Kesha!

James Hype ft. Kelli-Leigh - More Than Friends

High Climber - Up 31 to number 16

Highest New Entry - In at number 5

Top of the Pops, 11th July 2013

Ke$ha and Will.I.Am - Crazy Kids

High Climber - Up 8 to number 27 - It's been in the chart for a couple of weeks, but only just started making waves. Will and Ke$ha both make the trip to kick off the show with an energetic, hip-swivelling performance.

The Saturdays - Gentleman

In at number 14 - First appearance on the new TOTP for the Saturdays. The girls have a lot of fun with five sharp-suited male dancers.

Gabz - Lighters (The One)

In at number 6 - The former Britain's Got Talent contestant marks her arrival as a proper chart star with an impressive top ten entry.

Mumford and Sons - I Will Wait

Re-entry at number 31 - This week's biggest Glastonbury sales boost is enough to put the nation's favourite scruffcore roustabouts back in the top 40. A TOTP appearance makes a fun counterpart to their main-stage heroics last weekend.

Russ Chimes - Turn Me Out

In at number 40 - The second new face of the week is Russ Chimes, looking for a boost to send him further up the top 40 next week. Lots of dancers and lights here.

From the Vault: Robin S - Show Me Love

Re-entry at number 49 - It's actually the Steve Angello version that's re-entered the lower reaches of the chart, but that's still a great reason to show this fine original performance from way back in 1993.

Coldplay - Viva la Vida

Re-entry at number 45 - This can't be a From the Vault slot because Viva la Vida came too late to be on the original TOTP, but the band come on the show now to put that right. Quite a moment; Chris Martin looks thrilled to be here.

John Newman - Love Me Again

Straight in at number 1 - He was on last week with Rudimental, and here is the man of the moment again with a number 1 smash in his own right.
