Top of the Pops, 23rd March 2023

It's been a while since a massive track splatted into the top ten but that's what we have this week, as Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding smash down at number 3. It's not enough to best Miley Cyrus though, and her next-best competition seems to come from herself as River is the second highest new entry.

Further down we have Switch Disco with their own Robert Miles homage, well deserved returns from Ayra Starr, Coi LeRay and (at yet another new peak) Lizzy McAlpine, plus the first bit of drill for a while from Digga D. And lovely George Ezra pops in to celebrate the vernal equinox.

There are some huge leaps on the chart this week, not least from Pinkpantheress who enlists Ice Spice to give her song the top ten placing it deserves. There are also impressive jumps from dependable names George Ezra and Pink (her first appearance in a while), while Coi LeRay and a rebounding Sam Smith make smaller inroads.

We have to go all the way down to number 57 to find a new entry, though - welcome back, Rita Ora. Miley is looking very comfortable at number 1, and she brings along Olly Murs this week for a fun exclusive performance.
