Top of the Pops, 10th February 2022

We've got three double performances this week: King Ed Sheeran has multiple tracks climbing the chart once more, and friends of the show D-Block Europe are also riding doubly high; plus the Encanto Crew have yet another song broaching the top ten to add to their Bruno behemoth.

Top of the Pops, 6th January 2022

The Christmas season is more or less over but the chart lags behind slightly, meaning there's one final fling for the festive tunes from George Ezra, Olivia Dean and the Jonas Brothers. Elton John is also here in person so we get a double serving from him.

Well done also to Fireboy DML (plus King Ed) and Mabel for having non-Christmas songs that are climbing the chart. A good early sign for 2022?

Top of the Pops, 11th November 2021

Adele occupies the castle but Ed Sheeran is still hammering at the gates, this week deploying new single Overpass Graffiti to try to shift her. That's one of a large number of new songs that are featured this week: SwitchOTR is completely new to the show, and we also welcome Drake, Joel Corry and D-Block Europe with their freshest offerings. The most impressive chart leap comes from Neiked and Mae Muller.

Top of the Pops, 19th August 2021

Lots to get excited about this week. The highest new entry is the new one from the reliably hitmaking The Weeknd, and there are also new breakers from Wizkid, Sleepy Hallow and KSI, while Rain Radio and DJ Craig Gorman hit a new peak.

There's a nice selection of bigger and (so far) smaller hits this week. At the top we have Olivia Rodrigo (plus another new one of hers), KSI and UK Rodrigo avatar Mimi Webb. Lower down are Willow, Griff and the new one from Mabel.

In the middle we have the man of the moment Tom Grennan, who brings back Ella Henderson to help out on an acoustic version of By Your Side as well as their duet.

Top of the Pops, 19th November 2020

It's a loaded show for pop fans this week. Ariana Grande holds on at number one and also has another highest new entry. Shawn Mendes is back with his new single. And there are microclimbs for longer-running hits from Clean Bandit, Joel Corry and the modern day version of Phats and Small, Sigala.

We've also got a couple of exclusives, as Dermot Kennedy invites Meduza to zazz up Giants in a medley with their collaborative hit, and friends of the show Little Mix provide a gorgeous harmonized backing for Justin Bieber as well as performing their own double bill.

PRESENTER: Graham Norton

Top of the Pops, 8th October 2020

Big breakthrough for Tate McRae this week, as her slow-burning ballad makes the top ten for the first time. Also scaling new peaks are Gunna and the rest of the Internet Money guys, and lower down, Dermot Kennedy. Star power comes from Miley Cyrus, freshness from Da Beatfreakz, and class from friend of the show the Weeknd.

The show is bookended by performances from 24KGoldn, with Clean Bandit to open the show and holding on at number 1 in his own right to close it.

Debuts: None

Clean Bandit ft. Mabel and 24KGoldn - Tick Tock

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range (from an ice rink)

Top of the Pops, 24th September 2020

She may have had one of the albums of the year, but we haven't seen that much of friend of the show Dua Lipa on TOTP lately. She puts that right this week, sneaking into the line-up as Hallucinate rises to number 31. Also breaking the surface is Dermot Kennedy, while Simba and Gunna make rather flashier inroads.

Paul Woolford and Diplo have quietly floated up into the top ten so they make a third appearance in six weeks, while Cardi B and Megan remain at the top, glee unabated.

Debuts: Don Tolliver, Nav.

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh (in the royal box in an empty theatre)

Top of the Pops, 10th September 2020

It's a strange chart this week: almost nobody has climbed more than three places. The exceptions are Clean Bandit and the new entry from Calvin Harris and friend of the show The Weeknd, so they beam in as much energy as is humanly possible over a remote connection.

Huge congratulations also to Cardi and Megan, who perform as much of their song as the censors allow to celebrate reaching the top.

Debuts: None.

Little Mix - Holiday

Up 3 to number 18

Clean Bandit ft. Mabel and 24KGoldn - Tick Tock

Up 1 to number 1

PRESENTER: James Masterton (from his shed)

Top of the Pops, 13th August 2020

As the wave of Taylor Swift that hit last week subsides, most other tracks bob back up a few places. For Top of the Pops, that means we get a high class week with several top ten tracks featured, including long-running hits from Regard and RAYE, AJ Tracey and the dashing Chris Brown. The Harry Styles track even scales a new peak, once again, after six months on the list. Is it impossible that it could eventually make number one?

We've got chart breakers from Miss 2019 Billie Eilish and Bewdley's own Becky Hill, and the infectiously delighted Joel Corry and MNEK make it three weeks at the top.

Debuts: None

Becky Hill vs Sigala - Heaven On My Mind

Up 6 to number 17

Billie Eilish - My Future

Highest New Entry - In at number 7

Joel Corry ft. MNEK - Head & Heart

Third week at number 1

PRESENTERS: Rose Elinor Dougall and Gwenno Saunders

Top of the Pops, 30th July 2020

This week is all about the feelgood hit of the summer from Joel Corry and MNEK, which skips up the final two places to give both performers a well deserved first number 1. They even breathe an infectious vivacity into the now terribly familiar TOTP Zoom team-up.

There are other chart stories here, though, notably from Drake, who has a ton of songs on the top 40 and performs three of them here. AJ Tracey and Harry Styles both scale new peaks this week, Sam Fischer is on the rise once again, and there's a slightly unexpected appearance from Digga D.

Debuts: None

Tion Wayne, Dutchavelli and Stormzy - I Dunno

Up 3 to number 15

DJ Khaled ft. Drake - Greece / Popstar

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 16th July 2020

We're swamped with new entries this week, mostly from the world of rap, both British and US, but also including the third banger from Joel Corry - it's starting to look like the first one wasn't a fluke. Ty Dolla $ign and co make the most impressive use of the multi-way Zoom functionality, with an unexpected TOTP debut from FKA Twigs.

The chart story of the week has to be the late Pop Smoke, whose album places three hits in the top 40 and one in the top ten. Jason and Jawsh hang on for a second week at the top.

Debuts: FKA Twigs, OFB, Jack Harlow

Ty Dolla $ign ft. Kanye West, FKA Twigs and Skrillex - Ego Death

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh (on her sofa)

Top of the Pops, 2nd April 2020

There's about as much chart movement just now as there is movement of people, but on the plus side, those who do have chart climbers all seem very keen to canter through them via video link, or chirpy messages to introduce their videos or old performances. There are some new hits from The Weeknd, as well.

We're also forced to confront the phenomenon of TikTok. Last week we had Doja Cat, and this week it's the turn of both Powfu and Benee to break through with highly likeable hits popularised on the platform. So whatever it actually is, it has to be a good thing so far.

Debuts: Powfu, Beabadoobee, Benee, Gus Dapperton

Mabel - Boyfriend

Up 6 to number 11

Powfu ft Beabadoobee - Death Bed

Up 4 to number 19

Roddy Ricch - The Box

Saint JHN - Roses

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: John Lydon (from a mystery location)

Top of the Pops, 12th March 2020

There's quite a lot new this week: the return of classic Lady Gaga and a new entry from Mabel, plus Harry Styles switching over from Adore You to his new one (The Ballad). Doja Cat reaches the top ten for the first time, and Saint JHN somehow nearly dethrones The Weeknd. Nearly.

Debuts: None

Tones and I - Dance Monkey

Up 3 to number 19

Lady Gaga - Stupid Love

Highest New Entry - In at number 5

Harry Styles - Falling

Up 7 to number 22

Mabel - Boyfriend

Fourth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 27th February 2020

If you were wondering when Billie Eilish would top the chart, well, the answer is now. Her Bond-assisted newie drops in at number 1 (and the second highest entry of the week comes from the last Bond singer, Sam Smith, too).

Lewis Capaldi is still in the top ten, now on a barely believable Chasing Cars-type run, but Mabel isn't doing badly for chart longevity either, albeit a bit lower down. New stuff comes from the mighty Bieber and newcomer Doja Cat.

Debuts: Doja Cat

Mabel - Don't Call Me Up

High Climber - Up 14 to number 38

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 24th October 2019

Three weeks at number 1 now for Tones & I; where did that come from? She performs a candlelight mix this week.

Lower down the chart, we've got a big new entry from Harry Styles and a pretty big chartbreaker from Tiesto and Mabel. Chart colossus Lewis Capaldi is back again, and he also guests on a nice exclusive version of Circles with Post Malone.

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 22nd August 2019

Another week, another peak for Dominic Fike, though it's anyone's guess whether he can climb the last two places needed for a truly historic chart ascent. Also still doing well are Sam Smith, who is also this week's contestant on Sing With Camila, Mist, and the bulletproof Lewis Capaldi.

She's been killing it all year under the radar, but this is actually the first week that Lizzo's had the chart power to get on Top of the Pops. She's here and as ebullient as you'd expect.

Debuts: Lizzo

Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

Up 3 to number 3

Lizzo - Truth Hurts

Fifth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 4th July 2019

It might be American Independence Day but here on TOTP it's possibly the biggest week ever for UK rap. There are chart entries for Jay1 and Bugzy Malone, a longtime chart climber from AJ Tracey, and another super-strong new hit from the man of the moment Stormzy.

On the sung side of things, Becky Hill has a double bill and Mabel continues her impressive 2019, and the US flag is flown (alongside the Cuban and Canadian ones) by Camila Cabello. Ed is still at number 1 and he flies in three American collaborators this week.

Debuts: Aitch

Top of the Pops, 20th June 2019

That's five weeks at the top now for Ed Sheeran, and this week he gives us another exclusive performance with good ol' Brendon Urie in the Bieber role; Urie is here to perform his half of the resurgent Taylor Swift track.

Britrap continues to make a strong chart showing as well. This week it's Mostack with two chart climbers, and he brings the usual gaggle of collaborators with him. And we have some interesting new entries from Mabel and Liam Gallagher.

Ed Sheeran ft. Brendon Urie - I Don't Care

Fifth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Duffy

Top of the Pops, 14th March 2019

It's another great week for heartfelt singer-songwriters: Tom Walker is able to perform a two-song medley of chart climbers, and Lewis Capaldi not only makes it two weeks at the top but also sees most of his other songs climb the chart in the wake of Someone You Loved. And do the Jonas Brothers count? They have the highest new entry.

In other news, friends of the show Little Mix at last manage to get on to perform Think About Us after six weeks climbing the chart, and their rent-a-rapper Ty Dolla $ign has another hit to perform as well. Mabel's chart run shows no sign of flagging - wonder if she'll make number 1 at some point? And would you believe Chip is making his TOTP debut, after at least one name change and ten years of being one of Britain's worst rappers.

Debuts: Jonas Brothers (as a duo), Kehlani, Roddy Ricch, Chip

Jonas Brothers - Sucker
