Top of the Pops, 8th May 2014

Molly's Children of the World gets a pre-Eurovision TOTP showing as it storms into the chart at number 48, while five other female acts are also climbing the hit parade. Perhaps going some way to cancelling out the Chris Brown appearance, which in fairness has been a long time coming as his hit, now finally invading the top 10, has been around the top 20 for weeks. The new old MJ song is played over a montage of previous TOTP highlights, and the succession of in-at-the-top bangers continues with Calvin and a troupe of mixed-gender backing dancers.

Jess Glynne crashes into the number 1 spot for the second time in 2014, this time as the mouthpiece for Route 94; she sparkles onstage. It's also Coldplay time once again, though their pleasing japery doesn't quite match the charm of show-opener Lily Allen. Idina Menzel is also here to celebrate her Oscar win.

Top of the Pops, 12th December 2013

This week's show is effectively an omnibus of all the current big hits - just as TOTP should be, in fact.

Top of the Pops, 28th November 2013

There's something of a Children In Need theme this week: big supporter Barlow is at number 3 with his Mumford-a-thon, while Ylvis and Ellie Goulding also performed on the show (though Goulding sings Burn this week, in a special candlelight mix). Mixmaster Avicii brings us a medley of two hits old and new, while JLS get emotional in what might be their last ever TOTP appearance, throwing their shirts to the fans at the end. But the grand finale is lady-of-the-moment Lily Allen, who has the honour of singing two top ten hits, including the number 1, in seamless combination.

Ylvis - The Fox

Up 8 to number 20

JLS - Billion Lights

In at number 19

In at number 3

Top of the Pops, 21st November 2013

Some real show-stoppers this week. We have Robbie Williams in full naval uniform, Gaga AND R Kelly performing their entry, international big name Celine Dion, and a rather special co-interpretation from Lily Allen and Keane, who both have versions of the same song climbing the top 40. All this and Martin Garrix, who brings a whole farmyard full of animals (people in onesies) to help him celebrate outselling the lot of 'em.

Rizzle Kicks - Skip To The Good Bit

Long Runner - Up 4 to number 16 after five weeks on the chart

The Poppy Girls - The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye)

Top of the Pops, 18th July 2013

Pink and Lily Rose Cooper - True Love

Up 23 to number 36 - The show kicks off with the formidable figure of Pink, plus a blink-and-miss-it cameo from Lily to provide a counterpoint to the lusty belting. Sure to climb the chart again next week.

Lawson - Brokenhearted

In at number 6 - Lawson fill the screen with charm and verve. Few notice BOB's absence.

Katy B - What Love Is Made Of

In at number 21 - Time to get the crowd bouncing, as the duchess of dubstep makes sure her return is a triumphant one.

Sebastian Ingrosso ft Tommy Trash and John Martin - Reload

Highest New Entry - In at number 3 - No longer in the Swedish House Mafia but still in a trio of sorts, Mr Ingrosso brings his vocalist friends along to shake the joint.

Iggy Azalea - Bounce

In at number 13 - The bangers just keep on coming. A typically free-spirited performance here.

Ed Sheeran with Lily Rose Cooper - Everything Has Changed

Up 3 to number 12 - Taylor is busy this week, but Ed's available. The result: a true TOTP moment as Lily Rose Cooper is roped in to do Swift's bits, giving a fresh take on this touching duet. Public demand for a proper release of this version is to build over the next few weeks.

Sneakbo - Ring a Ling

In at number 27 - A bit of British rap amps up the crowd.

Robin Thicke ft TI and Pharrell - Blurred Lines

Up 1 to number 1 - As the man Nick Grimshaw once called "Ye Olde Thicko" climbs back to number 1, we have an opportunity to show you the video. Not the uncut version, though. And not the uncut cut version either - that's still a bit much for TOTP. Instead, we proudly present our own cleaned-up edit of the clean(er) edit, which basically boils down to three minutes of T.I. tapdancing - no bad thing.
