Tate McRae's album is out, and after building her following for a while she has a strong chart showing; she performs the biggest hit and the biggest new one. Also new is the Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco track, while Aitch and Bou rave their way into the top 40 for the first time.

Here's one of the more remarkable climbs to number 1: Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us makes it all the way in its 25th week on the chart. Kendrick celebrates with a raucus performance, and also invites SZA for a touching reprise of All The Stars. It's his week, but his buddy Drake is also here with his own new top 20 entry.

Top of the Pops, 7th November 2024

Incredible scenes this week as the number 1 single is... not Sabrina Carpenter! Instead it's Gigi Perez, capping off one of the more impressive chart climbs of the year with (at least) a week at the very top. Sabrina is not to be defeated completely though, as newer hit Bed Chem is looming ominously in the lower reaches of the top ten.

Other big news includes a big new entry from Lady Gaga, and the release of Tyler the Creator's album, sampled here with two choice tracks. Addison Rae doubles up as well, adding new hit Aquamarine to the still-climbing Diet Pepsi.

Beyonce is the big chart disruptor this week, smashing in with two new songs and boosting the already large hit Break My Soul at the same time. She performs a double-header here.

Top of the Pops, 9th June 2022

It's a big week for returns. Friend of the show Dua Lipa has been pretty quiet this year, but she appears here alongside Calvin Harris. But bigger than that, Lady Gaga is back on the show too! But bigger than that, Kate Bush is back in the chart! So we see one of her classic performances from the 80s.

It was also about time the Lizzo track got a second airing (and she sticks around to help out Jack Harlow), Tion Wayne and Benzz both reprise their recent hits, and Harry Styles is immovable at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 11th June 2020

After a single week of Gaga and Grande at the top, DaBaby is back at the top. That doesn't stop Gaga from smashing a couple of hits in lower down, though, including her (remote) collaboration with BlackPink.

Biggest new hit is from Tion Wayne and co, and the TikTok wonder from Surf Mesa is featured for the first time. And we welcome back RAYE, friend of the show Dua Lipa, and even international megastar Drake, who seems to be easier to get via Zoom than in normal times.

Top of the Pops, 4th June 2020

Most of the higher-up climbers this week are the same ones as last week, so we get to showcase some of the bubbler-unders - StaySolidRocky, 220 Kid, and the surprisingly seldom featured 1975.

There are surges from Harry Styles and KSI, but the big story is Gaga and Grande pelting into the top spot with their summer behemoth. They mesh pretty well in split screen.

Top of the Pops, 16th April 2020

Still in lockdown, blah blah blah. We've got some great work-from-home performances though, including Powfu from his actual bed (not a death bed) and Harry Styles continuing to do his best Olly Murs-alike from his home swimming pool.

Nathan Dawe is new this week, and although his chart position doesn't strictly merit it, Matt Lucas is allowed on as a public service.

There's quite a lot new this week: the return of classic Lady Gaga and a new entry from Mabel, plus Harry Styles switching over from Adore You to his new one (The Ballad). Doja Cat reaches the top ten for the first time, and Saint JHN somehow nearly dethrones The Weeknd. Nearly.

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.

Gaga and Cooper hold firm at the top, although they can't make it into the studio this week so we see the relevant bit of the film instead. However we do have strong in-person performances from friends of the show Jess Glynne and Little Mix, plus Freya Ridings scaling yet another new chart peak.

On the American side of things we have Cardi B assuming full vocal duties on the DJ Snake track, and Kodak Black bringing both his friends along to perform the all-star version of Zeze for the first time.

Top of the Pops, 1st November 2018

In an incredible chart story, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper do what the casts of Frozen and The Greatest Showman couldn't quite do and take their music soundtrack to the very top.

Friends of the show Little Mix are back, assisted by Nicki Minaj this time. The multicollaborations seem endless at the moment: here's DJ Snake backing up two fairly big-name vocalists plus debutant Osuna, while even without French Montana the Sigala track is pretty much a party.

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.
