Top of the Pops, 2nd October 2025

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.

Top of the Pops, 6th February 2025

Wow. After a lot of reprises so far this year, this week's show has almost a full house of new entries! That means British rap from Central Cee and Aitch, US rap from Travis Scott and Sexxy Red, pop from Tate McRae, dance from BL3SS, and even a bit of good old rock from Sam Fender. Nice selection, British public!

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2025

Just like that, after a slow start, the 2025 chart picture explodes into colour. There's a richly deserved new number 1 from Lola Young, a big new entry for Central Cee, and exciting chart climbers from Doechii and Sam Barber. Plus a double header from international megastar Bad Bunny.

Sam Fender is also coming back up the chart, though his singles success doesn't yet match the size of his media profile or the live crowds he plays to. There's still a bit of 2024 continuity as well, from two of the artists of last year, Gracie Abrams and Teddy Swims.

Top of the Pops, 9th January 2025

Happy 2025 and we start with the strangest chart of the year, when all the Christmas songs melt away like snow, making way for a top ten best summarised as "bangers from the last four months". That means a high-quality show with Gigi Perez, Teddy Swims and Gracie Abrams and others all lined up to reprise their pre-Christmas hits.

Amid all that, there's a new entry for Ella Henderson, while Lola Young may have the most potential of the just-before-Christmas bubbler-unders.
