Top of the Pops, 12th January 2017

A change in chart rules means a lot of climbers this week, so everyone in the line-up is in the top 20. Among them are three acts with an X Factor connection, a two-song medley by friend of the show The Weeknd, and the week's big chart winner JP Cooper. Faceless dance dude Neiked is here too, and after just four and a half months on the chart I'm starting to credit his featured vocalist Dyo so well done to her.

Since Louisa Johnson is in the house, it would be churlish not to give her a go at singing her buddies Clean Bandit's number one hit, now in its GnarlsBarkleytastic ninth week at the top.

Debuts: Dyo (with credit).

Louisa Johnson - So Good

Top of the Pops, 5th January 2017

Which songs have been rebounding up the chart in the new year lull? It's a fairly healthy mix of US party tracks and friends of the show, with the occasional 2016 fave thrown in for good measure. The bigger, sadder news is the death of George Michael; we leave it until the end of the show before screening a classic performance in tribute.

Debuts: None.

Up 2 to number 10

Maroon 5 ft. Skepta - Don't Wanna Know

Up 1 to number 16

Top of the Pops, 10th November 2016

Little Mix remain triumphant at number 1 this week, which gives them the chance to drop in a bit of their new song You Gotta Not as well as the all-conquering Shout Out To My Ex. The biggest new tracks are by X-Factor winner Lousia Johnson, who seems to be getting into gear now, and faceless dance magician Jonas Blue.

Three big names give oomph to the line-up: in roughly ascending order there's another slick turn by Bruno Mars, a double-header of Drake's latest material, and a nice Halloween From The Vault slot for Michael Jackson. We've also got Maroon 5 and Galantis.

Debuts: Raye.

Louisa Johnson - So Good

Highest New Entry - In at number 20

It's another laugh riot as one man fun machine James Arthur celebrates his third week at number 1 by not only performing a skanked-up version of Say You Won't Let Go, but also guesting with Dua Lipa on an exclusive version of Blow Your Mind (Mwah). Not that the joint isn't already jumping after the return of Bruno Mars and a beautiful solo run-through of former number 1 Closer by Halsey.

Friends of the show Clean Bandit are back as well, and Hailee Steinfeld continues to climb the chart as Emeli Sande rebounds.

Debuts: None.

An exclusive treat this week: in Cold Water's fourth week at number one, we have Ed Sheeran, officially on a break from the biz, filling in for Justin Bieber on the track he wrote. And not only that: obviously Bob Marley can't come into the studio to sing Is This Love, so Olly Murs gamely takes vocal duties with Lvndscape and Bolier.

With summer still ongoing, Justin Timberlake finally gets back on the show with Can't Stop The Feeling, and the Chainsmokers are also here with their nice late summer anthem Closer. Friends of the show Clean Bandit and ZAYN also make microclimbs so are invited to reprise their current tracks.

Debuts: None.

She might have missed out on the number 1 (and indeed the top 8) at Christmas, but Louisa Johnson has the highest new entry this week alongside friends of the show Clean Bandit. She also has the honour of filling in the Beyonce bit in a memorable performance of Coldplay's Hymn For The Weekend. Gnash and Cheat Codes continue to make inroads into the chart, and there's a nice bit of History as we recognise One Direction's continuing chart presence months after their split. Gone but not forgotten.

Drake has now been at number 1 for two months but we just get a (specially prepared) lyric video this week. Not even one dance.

Debuts: Louisa Johnson, Daya.
