Top of the Pops, 29th November 2018

The celeb version of the Greatest Showman soundtrack has been making chart waves for a while, but this is the week it really breaks through: Pink, James Arthur and Anne-Marie bring us two songs from the hit show between them.

J Balvin has two hits this week, but he can't come on the show so Liam Payne and indeed Cardi B and Bad Bunny have to perform their hits without him.

There's lots of chart movement this week, with the Arctic Monkeys, Years and Years and Rita Ora (plus girlfriends) all landing new tracks in the top 40. Meanwhile Liam Payne's hispanified track and EO's German bring a pan-European flavour, and flying the US flag, everyone's favourite men's rights activist Shawn Mendes shoots to a new peak.

Calvin and Dua are still at number 1. This week they do a version with a lot of violins in it.

Top of the Pops, 10th May 2018

In a week with a lot of chart climbers, several tracks that have been around for a while get to make their TOTP debuts. Foremost is Cardi B, alongside her buds Bad Bunny and J Balvin - and Balvin makes it a two for one by guesting on the Liam Payne track as well.

David Guetta also makes good on a threat of some weeks' standing, performing his song with newcomer Brooks and also Flames - Sia isn't here but he blasts out a bit of the instrumental.

Post Malone storms the chart with fresh material, and Dua Lipa celebrates her fourth consecutive week on the show by bringing IDGAF out of mothballs alongside the song of the moment, One Kiss.

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 22nd February 2018

Grime and film continue to be the twin sounds of 2018: this week it's Kojo Funds representing the former, and Liam and Rita for the latter - though they only get through a verse and a chorus before Rita barges Liam off the stage and launches into a spirited rendition of the far superior Anywhere.

We also have the quietly very successful song from Jax Jones and Ina Wroldsen, the rather blunt new lyric from Anne-Marie, and a whole bunch of people crammed on to the stage with Hailee Steinfeld. Drake looks very cool at number 1 (and number 23 too).

Debuts: Florida Georgia Line, Andrew Watt, Blocboy JB.

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 8th February 2018

Double Drake this week: the great man holds steady at number 1, and also shares the distinction of highest new entry with Migos. There's no Greatest Show tune, sadly, but Hollywood is represented by Liam and Rita's theme from the Fifty Shades film. Sigrid is back, as are Not3s and Mabel, who seem to be on every week just now. The big new track of the moment comes from Rudimental, who show up with all three of their guest vocalists as well as, of course, that guy in the hat.

Debuts: Dan Caplen.

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 18th January 2018

After last week's best-of-2017 feel, this week brings a fair few new hits. Ramz completes a long trek to the top 5, and there are big new entries from Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, and Liam and Rita from the new 50 Shades soundtrack.

There's also the open-to-question pairing of Craig David and Bastille, and for a bit of variety King Ed gets Andrea Bocelli in to do the faux-classical version of Perfect.

Sam Smith's album is out --FANFARE!-- so naturally he has the maximum three songs in the top 40, all of which he performs on this show. Not only that, he gets his phrasebook out and joins friends of the show Little Mix on a sultry TOTP-exclusive version of Reggaeton Lento.

We're also pleased to welcome Stormzy, the talented MNEK, Dave, Mostak, Liam Payne and really any number of happenin' artists of the day. Rita Ora and our number 1 Camila Cabello bring the class to the top end of the show.

Top of the Pops, 31st August 2017

More fresh delights appear as summer draws to a close. Not least is the collaboration between friends of the show Little Mix and CNCO, all nine of whom come to grace the TOTP stage. Liam Payne has the latest in the unending procession of 1D solo singles, and we have an exclusive double-header from Yxng Bane and Yungen, who are both capital fellows.

The big news, though, is the return of Justin Bieber. Although Dua Lipa impressively prevents him from reaching the very top, this week at least.

Top of the Pops, 27th July 2017

Movement at the top this week as the inimitable DJ Khaled, aided by Rihanna and Bryson Tiller of course, floats up one more space and topples Despacito. Reggaeton is not completely neglected, though, as the Script are here with their Daddy Yankee-influenced comeback single.

Moving on, we have rock from Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran-penned songs that sound like Ed Sheeran from Rita Ora and Liam Payne, and a lovely acapella version of Power from Little Mix. Friend of the show Camila Cabello also appears for a remarkable sixth time in seven weeks.

Eighth week at number 1

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 1st June 2017

The Puerto Rico contingent are still bringing the fiesta to the number 1 spot, though the last remaining One Directioner Liam Payne runs them close-ish with his new Sheeran-penned, Sheeran-alike, I-can't-believe-it's-not-Sheeran track Strip That Down.

Other than that it's US solo starlets alternating with the producer-plus-feature production line; Cheat Codes and Demi Lovato even tick both boxes. Needless to say Ariana Grande isn't in the studio, but we play a tribute video to accompany her re-entry One Last Time.

Debuts: Liam Payne (as solo).
