Top of the Pops, 5th June 2025

The good times continue to roll for Alex Warren: not only does he make it to eleven weeks at number 1, he also has the highest new entry with another song! Chappell Roan bobs back up to number 2 again but you feel it will take something more to dislodge Mr Warren.

Lower down the top 40 King Ed Sheeran continues his low-key album campaign, and there are some interesting debuts and another hit for 2025's most likely lad, Myles Smith. Between MGK and Alex Warren's collaborator Jelly Roll, it's a good week for unhealthy looking Americans. Tate McRae is on the show again also, battling her way into the public consciousness by force of will.

Friends of the show super team-up Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson have had one of the more compelling climbs to number 1 of recent years, so it's great to welcome them into the studio once again for a triumphant performance, backed up by (most of) a full orchestra. Other familiar faces in attendance include Little Mix (but with the added bonus of Machine Gun Kelly inserting his rap), Rag 'n' Bone Man and Jason Derulo (plus Nicki Minaj again - wow!)

There's also plenty of new stuff again, from Luis Fonsi, French Montana and red pill hero Shawn Mendes. And ZAYN swings by for a compelling stripped-back performance of Still Got Time.

Top of the Pops, 19th January 2017

And so the Year Of Sheeran begins. King Ed splats into the number 1 and 2 spots and is duly invited to perform both songs in their entirety - and even that is pretty restrained of us because he has a ton more re-entries lower down the top 40.

Other than that there are a few new year hits racing up the chart, mostly enjoyable dance bops aside from the Machine Gun Kelly track. Kelly's featured vocalist Camila Cabello is the ex-Fifth Harmony member, not wasting any time in getting some solo exposure. ZAYN is here to perform his bondage sequel anthem sans Taylor Swift, and Dua Lipa gives us a fun exclusive non-Sean Paul version of No Lie.

Debuts: Machine Gun Kelly, Camila Cabello (outside her group).

Jax Jones ft. Raye - You Don't Know Me

Up 24 to number 9

Machine Gun Kelly ft. Camila Cabello - Bad Things

High Climber - Up 29 to number 23

ZAYN - I Don't Wanna Live Forever

Up 6 to number 17

Starley - Call On Me

Up 18 to number 8

Dua Lipa - No Lie

Up 16 to number 28

Tom Zanetti ft. Sadie Ama - You Want Me

Long Runner: Up 5 to number 27 after 12 weeks

Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill

In at number 2

Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You

Straight in at number 1
