Top of the Pops, 23rd April 2020

The Weeknd is still at the top, quietly getting closer to having one of the all-time runs at number 1. How long can he hold it? Without much new material appearing to challenge him, maybe quite a long time.

We do have new-to-TOTP songs from Jones and Solveig's Europa project, Khalid and Disclosure, and the lockdown-appropriate hit from JP Saxe, one of three TOTP debuts this week. And Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion continue to make chart inroads.

Top of the Pops, 3rd October 2019

After last week's chart mayhem, this TOTP is the complete opposite: every song in the top 5 gets to appear, and they're all tracks that have been around for quite some time. Crowning it all is King Ed Sheeran, still top of the chart, though he mixes it up a bit by mixing in a bit of Beautiful People, thanks to a cameo by friend of the show Khalid.

For a bit of variety we do have a triple bill from Burna Boy, who features on three chart climbers this week. He performs his bits of all of them, bringing along TOTP debutante Mahalia to help with the most obscure of the three.

Debuts: Mahalia

Sam Feldt ft. Rani - Post Malone

Up 2 to number 15

Top of the Pops, 25th July 2019

As the summer of britrap rolls on, this time it's Dave and Young T and Bugsey who are heading back up the charts, alongside a new entry from Krept and Konan. It's great that all these MCs are happy to support the show, rubbing shoulders with (and often outcharting) the likes of Camila Cabello and Justin Bieber, who guests with Billie Eilish this week.

One week off the top was enough for King Ed Sheeran, though, so now he's back at the top with the next song in the queue, the fairly lovely Beautiful People, alongside fellow friend of the show Khalid.

Debuts: None

Young T and Bugsey ft. Aitch - Strike A Pose

Up 2 to number 19

Up 2 to number 1

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 11th July 2019

There's a lot of polite shuffling about in the chart this week, which gives us the opportunity to showcase a few hits that have been bubbling under for a while: Dominic Fike, Camila Cabello and Martin Garrix are the beneficiaries.

The Glastonbury effect has been pretty muted this year but the Killers are back in the chart. The summer of britrap continues with an entry from Young T and Bugsey, plus last week's debutant Aitch making it two weeks on TOTP in a row, and the biggest chart movement comes from King Ed Sheeran, whose Beautiful People (aided by friend of the show Khalid) joins I Don't Care (this week co-performed by Lewis Capaldi) in the top five.

Debuts: Dominic Fike, Patrick Stump (without Fall Out Boy)

Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

Up 6 to number 20

Ed Sheeran ft. Khalid - Beautiful People

Top of the Pops, 2nd May 2019

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus are still at the top and in the studio once again, giving ol' Billy the chance for a cheeky cameo on the Wiley track as well. Ava Max brings us both of her hits so far, and there are chartbreakers from Lil Dicky and, yet again, Jonas Blue. No idea what that guy's appeal is but at least he gives a lot of guest singers their moment in the spotlight.

Debuts: Theresa Rex

Jonas Brothers - Sucker

Up 1 to number 7

Ava Max - So Am I / Sweet But Psycho

Up 1 to number 13 / Up 1 to number 28

Top of the Pops, 18th April 2019

Lewis Capaldi reaches a fairly elite seven weeks at the top of the chart, so he appears once again, this time with a two-song medley. As does friend of the show Khalid, the surprisingly reliable hitmaker also doing double duty.

Ava Max is finally invited to perform the follow-up to her surprise chart topper from January, and we also have an international flavour thanks to debutantes Blackpink and the Jax Jones/Martin Solveig Europa project.

PRESENTERS: Richie Neville and Abz Breen

Top of the Pops, 28th March 2019

Singersongwritermania continues to grip the UK: Tom Walker charges to a new chart peak, Lewis Capaldi still has the best seller, and George Ezra has now been on the chart for an entire year with Shotgun.

But other genres are well-represented: RnB from Khalid, fun pop from the Jonas Brothers, pop masquerading as indie masquerading as dance from Marshmello and Chvrches, and rap from friend of the show A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie - Swervin

Up 3 to number 27

Top of the Pops, 7th March 2019

Not many would have predicted it last year, but Lewis Capaldi is the man to break Ariana Grande's grip on the top: Someone You Loved completes its slow build with a two-place final jump.

Elsewhere we've got a smash new entry from the evergreen Pink, and our persistence is rewarded as we lure Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper back to reprise their impressively long-running Hollywood hit.

Westlife again? The boys are going all out this year, now with a third TOTP appearance. Also doing well are AJ Tracey, who has several chart hits this week and performs two of them, and friend of the show Khalid, who has another strong showing with Talk.

The biggest names, though, must be Drake, guesting on the Meek Mill long-runner, Dua Lipa, and especially Ariana Grande who replaces herself at the top with her latest musings.

Some incredible star power on TOTP this week. The highest new entry is from LADY GAGA and her Star Is Born co-star, and we also have top US names Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar and friend of the show Khalid.

After a few weeks climbing, Sigala finally gets high enough to get a TOTP invitation, and he manages to corral all his co-artistes to appear with him. Meanwhile George Ezra's Shotgun somehow floats back into the top ten, so he makes a triumphant appearance and also helps out Calvin Harris by filling in for Sam Smith in a unique performance.

We've got a few unique performances this week, including a solo version of Girls Like You from Cardi B, a solo version of taste with extended rapping from Offset, and a lovely stripped back rendition of Only You from friends of the show Little Mix.

More maximalist is the appearance from DJ Khaled and co, basically rehashing I'm The One from last year. And there are tentative chart inroads made by Halsey and Khalid (Benny Blanco being a bit busy) and bombastic hooters Panic At The Disco, making their TOTP debut ten years into their career.

In a week with several big new entries, Ariana Grande has the biggest - but she can't dislodge Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa. Nevertheless, Ariana turns up to bring us not only a spirited rendition of No Tears Left To Cry, but a sensitive one-off contribution to Khalid's Love Lies.

Other new hits come from Anne-Marie and EO, plus a whole bunch of them from man of the moment J Cole. Maren Morris's long runner provides a big of chart continuity, presented here in acoustic form. And we pay tribute to Avicii.
