Top of the Pops, 27th November 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters take a week off this week, but the animated fun rolls on as the cast of Hazbin Hotel make their debut on the show. They aren't the highest new entry though - that honour goes to wuthering expert Charli XCX, with Lewis Capaldi not far behind.

Friends of the show Tate McRae and Sonny Fodera are also in attendance, as are man of the year contender Sombr and undisputed woman of the year Olivia Dean. There's a faint sound of jingling bells in the chart this week, but we'll save all that until December.

Lots of new entries on the show this week, from Dave, chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi, hot young thing Skye Newman and perhaps most seismically Lily Allen, who performs a two-track sampler from her media-ensorcelling new album.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters manage an impressive little leap up to number 1, displacing Taylor Swift who nevertheless appears with a secondary overlapping hit. And from way down the chart, Le Sserafim take advantage of a lack of other chartbreakers to snatch their debut on the show.

With somewhat of a dearth of climbers in the top 40, the bookers this week have to delve down and find some deep cuts, which means unexpected opportunities for Esdeekid, friend of the show Anne-Marie, the returning Marino and Oskar Med K. Higher up there are a couple of big entries for RAYE and chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi. Lola Young brings us a double bill and the K-Pop Demon Hunters delight us with a fully animated big band version of Golden.

Top of the Pops, 28th August 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters chart onslaught continues: they remain at number 1, and other songs such as Your Idol continue to be magnetically drawn towards the chart's upper placings. Not only that, girl group Twice, who've previously been heard under the Demon Hunters umbrella, are now here performing in their own right.

In non-K-pop news, the highest new entry is another strong showing by the new golden girl Olivia Dean, Gunna and Burna Boy charge into the top 40, and there's a double bill from the quietly-very-successful-just-now Sombr.

There's a strong international flavour to the line-up this week: Lorde from New Zealand, CMAT from Ireland, the Demon Hunters from Korea, Alex Warren from the US and Rose from Korea (again). Presiding over all, though perhaps not the chart force he once was, is the UK's own King Ed Sheeran.

Scotland does pretty well too, with friend of the show Lewis Capaldi topping the chart and Calvin Harris also turning out. And here's Olivia Dean for the third week in a row: summer of Dean!

There's an unprecedented Eurovision flavour to the show this week, as no fewer than four of the featured acts invade the top ten. Some of the performances shown here are taken from the event itself, but Mae Muller and winner Loreen make the trip to the TOTP studio.

Chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi makes it look easy, easing into the number 1 berth once again. He leads quite a back of new entries this week, including Ice Spice, Post Malone and David Kushner, as well as the movie-driven novelty chart breaker from Jack Black.

The middle of the show welcomes back Ella Henderson and Niall Horan, whose hits are showing some good staying power. And one of the big hitmakers from the end of last year, SZA, is back with a double hitter.

Ellie Goulding and Calvin hold on at the top (stripped back solo performance from Ellie this week) but they are run close by Libianca, who peaks at number 2 after several months on the chart. Also continuing to climb is Bakar, while chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi has in incredible resurgence thanks to the release of his album.

As the days lengthen, George Ezra appears once again to satisfy his baying public, and there's a new banger from David Guetta and a reprise from Taylor Swift. Drake has the highest new entry.

This week it's a bit of a run-down of the top solo stars of the moment. On the female side there's Ariana Grande doing a Weeknd-less version of Die For You, Miley at the top, Brit-of-the-moment RAYE and all-timer Taylor Swift, plus Selena Gomez doing a Rema-less version of Calm Down with Ariana along for the ride.

Then on the male side there's chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi, Niall Horan and the latest toe-tapper from Hozier.

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 2nd February 2023

For the second week in a row there's not much movement in the top ten, so we get to investigate some of the fun tracks from lower down the top 40. That means Sabrina Carpenter, Pinkpantheress, Coi LeRay and even chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi reprising a couple of older numbers.

Slightly higher up the chart we welcome Jamaican mainstay Popcaan and one of the songs of '23 from Rema and Selena. Miley Cyrus is well ahead of the pack at number 1.

Lewis Capaldi makes an athletic leap up to number 1 this week in quite a changeable chart. Miguel, Stephen Sanchez, Skrillex and Metro Boomin' all have TOTP premieres for their new hits, and Eminem is back in the top 40 for some reason.

Top of the Pops, 15th December 2022

Christmastide is rising, so this week only sees three unrelated performances before the jollity kicks in. What a trio they are though: behemoth of ballad Lewis Capaldi, the hot sizzler from Metro Boomin' and reborn pop princess RAYE almost keeping Mariah herself off the top.

Almost! But the week belongs to the elves, with Ed Sheeran reprising his instant Christmas classic from last year, an oldie from the late Chris Rea, a newie from Lizzo, and even Paul McCartney dropping in like King Wenceslas to deliver the flesh, wine and pine logs of Wonderful Christmastime in person.

There's a mini-return for rock and rock-adjacent music this week, with both Blink 182 and the 1975 hitting higher up the chart than they have for a while. Also firmly canonical these days is Stormzy, who has the highest new entry.

The rest of the show brings you more rap from Central Cee and Lil Baby, a dance banger from Southstar, good old balladry from Lewis Capaldi, and at the top of the chart, Smith and Petras with their scarier-than-Gaga spook sound - perfect for Halloween.

Top of the Pops, 22nd September 2022

Lewis Capaldi is back! He smashes in at number 1 and it's instantly like he's never been away. Aside from him there's not too much movement near the top of the chart, so we're able to feature some of the tracks that have been toiling lower down for a while: Rema, Oxlade and the returning Nicky Youre and Charli XCX are all beneficiaries of this.

On the other hand there's no dearth of established names: Lizzo, Nicki Minaj and (popping back up in the From The Vault slot) Coldplay are all featured too.

Debuts: Rema, Oxlade

Lizzo - 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)

If you were wondering when Billie Eilish would top the chart, well, the answer is now. Her Bond-assisted newie drops in at number 1 (and the second highest entry of the week comes from the last Bond singer, Sam Smith, too).

Lewis Capaldi is still in the top ten, now on a barely believable Chasing Cars-type run, but Mabel isn't doing badly for chart longevity either, albeit a bit lower down. New stuff comes from the mighty Bieber and newcomer Doja Cat.

Debuts: Doja Cat

Top of the Pops, 13th February 2020

As possibly expected, friend of the show The Weeknd leaps a place to displace chart mastodon Lewis Capaldi at the top - but Capaldi is still in the top ten with last year's hit, so both are on the show. Dua Lipa has a big new entry as well, and Roddy Ricch is back with a mate in tow - another future chart topper, maybe?

Elsewhere chart inroads are made by KSI and Saint JHN, and Halsey hangs in mid-chart like she has done for a while. And how about Arizona Zervas - the guy just won't go away.

It's been a longish climb, but the latest fizzer from chart heavyweight Lewis Capaldi has made it all the way to the top. He's run fairly close by friends of the show Dua Lipa and The Weeknd.

The January chart is still pretty lively, with tracks from last year (Meduza, Regard) shooting back up alongside new ones from Justin Bieber, friend of the show The Weeknd and this week's britrap representatives, Mist and Roddy Ricch.

Bieber aside, chart monster Lewis Capaldi and the mighty Stormzy are the big names, Stormzy performing solo this week. That's over a year on the chart now for the Capaldi track.

Top of the Pops, 9th January 2020

Happy New Year! All the Christmas music has suddenly evanasced, so nearly every song in the chart is a climber - which means that this is going to be an especially creme-de-la-creme episode of TOTP, basically a Best Of Chart Music from the last couple of months. That means big names like Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and chart monolith Lewis Capaldi, the inescapable Tones & I, and songs-of-the-moment from Endor and Arizona Zervas.

There is a bit of new stuff as well though, as One Acen and TOTP debutant Darkoo make the top 30 for the first time.

Debuts: Darkoo

Top of the Pops, 19th December 2019

With one week to go, the contenders for Christmas number 1 are manoeuvring into position, spearheaded by the mighty Stormzy and then Dua Lipa. Although it all presupposes that it's even possible to dislodge Tones & I, who is inching up the all-time list of long-running number 1s.

Also in the festive spirit (ie wearing Santa hats) are Leona Lewis, Lewis Capaldi and the highest new entrant Harry Styles. And britrap, the genre of 2019, is not forgotten thanks to Young T and Bugsey (as well as Stormzy of course).

Debuts: None
