Top of the Pops, 24th July 2025

Not for the first time this year there are two K-pop acts on the show, with BlackPink joining the Demon Hunters in the top 20. The biggest new entry of the week, though, is the ever-reliable Justin Bieber.

Top of the Pops 17th July 2025

After their debut last week, the K-Pop Demon Hunters are back with two songs this time. Also returning are King Ed Sheeran and (now four in a row) Olivia Dean. Friend of the show Tate McRae is back as well, and international megastar Drake provides even more star power.

Perhaps surprisingly, Lewis Capaldi's drop allows MK and Chrystal to hop up to the top spot - well done to them!

Top of the Pops, 3rd July 2025

It's a pretty ravey edition of Top of the Pops this week, with Disco Lines (with Tinashe in person to rock the crowd!), MK, Jazzy, Fred Again and even Pinkpantheress bringing club sounds to the TOTP stage. Way up the other end of the scale is Olivia Dean and Sam Fender's charming throwback duet.

Top of the Pops, 19th June 2025

After twelve Ordinary weeks, it falls to Sabrina Carpenter to continue her imperial phase and knock Alex Warren off the top. There are also big new entries for (former?) King Ed Sheeran and MK, and yet another new peak for Sombr.

Lower down the chart we have Skepta, an album sampler from Addison Rae, and debutant Levi Heron. And why are Dire Straits back in the top 75? We don't know, but they sound very nice in the From The Vault slot.

Top of the Pops, 8th February 2024

Given their ubiquity just lately it would be a bit of a shock if the Last Dinner Party weren't on Top of the Pops - but here they are to open the show. Just pipping them as a high climber, though, is YG Marley, so he could be one to watch.

Megan Thee Stallion completes a trio of new entries, complementing some of the bigger hits from last year from Casso, Tate McRae and Sonny Fodera which take their 2023 momentum into a second month. But once again the week belongs to Noah Kahan, though the story of the year so far Teddy Swims is gaining on him.

Debuts: The Last Dinner Party, YG Marley

The Last Dinner Party - Nothing Matters

There's another strong showing for dance music this week: Sonny Fodera, MK, Peggy Gou and Chase & Status are all climbing the chart once more with tracks that have entertained us since midsummer. Chase & Status go all out this week with a double track performance and guest appearances from some true jungle legends.

There's also UK rap from Nines, US rap from Gunna, rock from Blink 182 and impassioned singing from Tom Odell. Doja Cat gives us an extra something from the album as she celebrates a month at the top of the chart.

Top of the Pops, 7th September 2023

Dance music has had a great year so far, and this week two veterans of the field each have two tracks to perform - step forward MK (with a cheeky appearance for longtime friend of the show Rita Ora) and Chase and Status.

Burna Boy and Dave have a new track, and Casso, RAYE and the D-Block lads return with a nice chart jump, but the big accolades go to a trio of big name female singers: Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez both enter the chart and Olivia Rodrigo hops up to number 1.

Finally, Billie Eilish ascends to the number 1 spot and plants the pink Barbie flag atop the chart peak. Also making waves are Olivia Rodrigo with the second song from her new album, and a strong new entry from Fred Again.

Top of the Pops, 18th October 2018

It's always impressive when a collaboration between more than about three artistes gets them all to turn out on the TOTP stage. This week we have two examples - from Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Willy William, and Fredo, Young T and Bugsey - so A+ for effort to them. Fredo actually manages two appearances on his TOTP debut, including the number 1 single alongside Dave.

We're also strong in the singing department, thanks to Rita Ora, Becky Hill and Halsey, and the serious star power comes from Eminem, who's been on a few times lately.

Debuts: Fredo, Young T, Bugsey, Lil Baby, Gunna

Happy New Year! It's the crazy post-Christmas chart where literally every single song is a climber, which combined with the lack of a regular show last week means that the entire top 7 is eligible to be featured. How many of them could you guess? You'd probably get Ed Sheeran, Eminem and Rita Ora, but MK and Big Shaq provide a couple of curveballs.

Lots of climbers also means lots of acts with multiple hits, so Clean Bandit give us an all star best of 2017 medley, and Camila Cabello drops a bit of her new single in alongside the evergreen Havana. The one new hit comes from Keala Settle, with her show-stopper from the film The Greatest Showman.

Debuts: Keala Settle.

MK - 17

Up 16 to number 7

Rita Ora - Anywhere

Camila's still number 1 but there's plenty new to enjoy. For one thing, Noel Gallagher makes his solo TOTP debut as Holy Mountain debuts just high enough to make the cut. The other new entry is James Arthur's Naked, an enduring image, and we have Big Shaq reaching a new chart peak.

Not only that, but Shaq joins friends of the show Dua Lipa and Clean Bandit for a unique all-star interpretation of I Miss You. You won't find that anywhere else.

Debuts: Noel Gallagher (as solo).

After a long, slow chart climb, friends of the show Clean Bandit see their latest hit I Miss You finally come on the TOTP radar. They are here with guest vocalist Julia Michaels, who also fills in for the absent Beyonce on an exclusive version Eminem's big new entry.

Also making new ground are Big Shaq, who reaches the top ten for the first time, NF, Lil Pump, and Elbow, who are on the show for the first time ever. For her third week at number 1, Camila Cabello gives Havana the full acoustic mariachi treatment.

Congratulations to Camila Cabello (and not forgetting Young Thug) who ascend that last place to numero uno with Havana. They are in the studio, along with big stars like ZAYN and Selena Gomez, and fresh talent like CamelPhat (?) and Big Shaq.

If you're wondering what Michael Jackson is doing back at the chart, it's because of Halloween.

Despite his extended stay at number 1 Drake hasn't been into the studio for a couple of weeks, but he puts that right tonight, bringing us both his current hits with a guest violinist and harpsichord player to keep things fresh. He matches Wet Wet Wet this week and Whigfield doesn't have a single out so he may equal Mr Adams in seven days' time.

This week's debut is girl band M.O., not to be confused with the bendy Scandi vocalist MØ who was on last week. The other big news is the return of Katy Perry, and the line-up is completed by popular boy band 5SOS, the return of Snakehips, friend of the show Ariana Grande, the continued efforts of Becky Hill, and Shawn Mendes's red pill anthem.

Debuts: M.O.

Drake's still at number one, I'm afraid, but once again Top of the Pops finds a way to keep the One Dance performances fresh. This week we have Drizzy's featured performer Wizkid mashing it up with Tinie Tempah, whose Mamacita he also guests on in the chart this week.

Freshness also emanates from MK and Becky Hill, and to a lesser extent Charlie Puth, while tried and trusted tracks from Adele, Major Lazer and friend of the show Ariana Grande join them on the TOTP stage. The latest Chainsmokers track is also doing surprisingly well, isn't it?

Debuts: None.

A little bit of shuffling at the top end of the chart allows five of the top six songs to be featured this week, including smash new entries for Charli XCX and the returning Cheryl (Cole?). Lower down we have a third bratty pop queen, Cher Lloyd, and energetic turns from MK and Neon Jungle.
