Top of the Pops, 25th May 2023

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.

Top of the Pops, 27th April 2023

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.

Top of the Pops, 30th March 2023

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.

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.

Top of the Pops, 19th January 2023

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.

Top of the Pops, 27th October 2022

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.

Debuts: Southstar

PRESENTER: JB Gill

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)

Up 4 to number 34

Top of the Pops, 27th February 2020

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

Mabel - Don't Call Me Up

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.

Top of the Pops, 6th February 2020

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.

We've also got a couple of special performances: a double header from the ever more impressive Billie Eilish, and a new album sampler from man of the moment J Hus. Maroon 5 and Harry Styles bring the pop disco.

Top of the Pops, 16th January 2020

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

Tones & I - Dance Monkey

Up 15 to number 5

Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

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

Top of the Pops, 28th November 2019

As we hurtle towards December, there are new entries from three big names: chart leviathan Lewis Capaldi, tousled enigma Harry Styles (who performs his longer runner Lights Up as well) and biggest of all, Miss 2019 Billie Eilish, who continues to make it look very easy.

There's also a special party performance from Lizzo with help from Tones & I, a debut appearance from Endor, and some rather off-putting racket from Blackbear.

Debuts: Endor

Eighth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Richie Neville and Abz Breen

Top of the Pops, 14th November 2019

It's six weeks at the top now for Tones & I, moving into elite territory. Dua Lipa breezes past everyone else, but can't unseat the mighty Australian, but gives us an imperious and ebullient performance nonetheless.

Harry Styles is back, making it three earnest troubadours on the show this week, and there's a chartbreaker double bill from Krept and Konan.

Top of the Pops, 24th October 2019

Three weeks at number 1 now for Tones & I; where did that come from? She performs a candlelight mix this week.

Lower down the chart, we've got a big new entry from Harry Styles and a pretty big chartbreaker from Tiesto and Mabel. Chart colossus Lewis Capaldi is back again, and he also guests on a nice exclusive version of Circles with Post Malone.

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 10th October 2019

There are a lot of familiar faces on the show this week - Sam Smith, chart mastodon Lewis Capaldi, Post Malone, friend of the show Aitch - but one thing we did NOT expect was the number 1. Tones & I leaps like Katarina Johnson-Thompson to take the top spot, so maximum credit to her.

Debuts: None

Post Malone - Circles

PRESENTERS: Zoella and Joe Swash

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2019

Once again more than half the line-up this week is britrap and related music - 2019 has really been the year for it. Meanwhile Post Malone seems to have abandoned US-rap for the moment, dropping in at number 11 with a soft rock song instead.

In other genres, Rita Ora fronts Jonas Blue's dance ditty as it reaches a new high position, and chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi flies the flag for hoary balladeering.

Debuts: None

Aitch - Taste (Make It Shake)

Up 3 to number 3
