Top of the Pops, 13th September 2018

Another new number 1: this time it's the low-key banger from Calvin Harris and Sam Smith nipping ahead of the competition. Though perhaps bigger chart waves are made by Eminem, The Ringer spearheading a trio of new entries from his latest album.

Elsewhere, Freya Ridings finally makes the cut in her eighth week on the chart, and there are reprises of long-running hits from B Young, CamelPhat and friend of the show Anne-Marie (sans Guetta this time). And there's a special appearance from supergroup LSD: Labrinth, Sia and Diplo if you're wondering.

Top of the Pops, 10th September 2015

We're very pop this week, with Demi Lovato, Little Mix, 5 Seconds Of Summer and new number 1 Justin Bieber providing the bulk of the show. Bieber also doubles up to fill in for the dashing (but again unavailable) Chris Brown on Pia Mia's Do It Again.

Friend of the show The Weeknd has released his album and invaded the lower reaches of the chart with no fewer than four mini-hits; he performs two of them alongside continued smash Can't Feel My Face. This week's archive dredge is Elton John - why is he back in the chart?

Top of the Pops, 4th December 2014

It's an unusually left-field line-up this week. Sure, Take That are at number 1, but the other notable new entries come from an extraordinarily slow ballad (Labrinth) and an unprecedented pop-pop-punk supergroup (McBusted).

Lower down we have film music from James Newton Howard (with J-Law's vocals, played over a Hunger Games montage) and some tips for next year in Years and Years and James Bay. And the Christmas cheer starts here: we take the first of our annual digs into the festive vault and bring out Mariah Carey.

Debuts: McBusted, James Bay.

McBusted - Air Guitar

In at number 12

Top of the Pops, 9th October 2014

George Ezra aside, there is a whole lotta exciting new music on the show this week. Labrinth, Magician, Ella Eyre and Gorgon City all crash into the chart, but none with as big a splash as Meghan Trainor. Busy as she is, Meghan makes the trip to perform for the TOTP crowd.

Top of the Pops, 13th February 2014

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.

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2014

The middle of the chart is quiet this week, so we have some big new entries from the top and some (for now) lower-charting new songs from the outer reaches. Vance Joy returns to reprise 'Riptide' by candlelight and there are precocious turns from Neon Jungle and the Vamps (with a two-song medley), but the evening belongs to a triumphant Clean Bandit, looking indeed like there's no place they'd rather be.

Neon Jungle - Braveheart

In at number 4

Tinie Tempah & Labrinth - Lover Not A Fighter

Up 9 to number 18

Half Moon Run - Full Circle
