Top of the Pops, 27th March 2014

There are a ton of new entries this week, including Duke Dumont returning to the top spot and Little Mix bouncing around the top ten with their charity single. From the Vault comes into its own as enough Aberdonians buy Don't You Want Me to send the Human League into the top 20, so we dig up a classic performance from the stylish Sheffielders. Other delights in the varied bag of newies include London Grammar, Paolo Nutinin and big-in-the-US singer, Trey Songz.

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2013

A couple of American acts with long-lived hits finally make the trip this week. Elsewhere, Katy Perry delights the crowd with her 'I'm back!' smash hit, and friends of the show the Arctic Monkeys give us both of their current hits stuck together. Nice to see a Mercury nominee (and one near miss) in the week the shortlist is announced.

Top of the Pops, 27th June 2013

Dizzee Rascal and Robbie Williams - Goin' Crazy

New entry at number 5 - Rowdy, cheeky, loveable, irrepressible. This classic performance is everything you'd expect from a dream TOTP pairing.

Tom Odell - Another Love

Re-entry at number 10 - A small-stage, candlelit, heartfelt performance from Tom. The crowd are on their best behaviour as his dad proudly watches on.

Jason DerĂ¼lo - The Other Side

Highest New Entry - In at number 2 - This is one of those RnB performances where the singer just dances about saying 'hey' while the song plays in the background. He touches some audience members' hands near the end, which makes them go 'wooooooo'.

London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years

New entry at number 31 - I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about these people. Maybe you don't either. But that will all change after this barnstorming TOTP performance.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

New entry at number 11 - Amps on stage alert.

From the Vault: Evanescence - My Immortal

Re-entry at number 74 - We dig out a tape of Amy and co from 2003, who are back in the lower reaches of the chart thanks to an interpretation by the winner of The Voice.

Bastille - Pompeii

Up 6 to number 24 - Dan Smith brings along an army of people in togas to do the chanting live. Enchanting.

Robin Thicke feat. TI - Blurred Lines

Fourth week at number 1 - A coup: TI is persuaded to make the flight over, so Robin and T give us a Pharrell-less rendition this time round (Skateboard P is off buying socks).

PRESENTER: Steve Jones
