Top of the Pops, 27th June 2024

This week is a bit of a round-up of a lot of the big hits of the last few months, with a strong skew towards that American country-adjacent sound that's made such an unexpected impact his year. So we've got Dasha, Benson Boone, Michael Marcagi, Post Malone going country, and the rest.

A bit breezier is Sabrina Carpenter, hitting number 1 now with her Meghan Trainor-esque newer hit (with Espresso at number 2 as well). And what's that on the horizon? Football might be coming home so here are its sempiternal harbingers, Baddiel and Skinner.

Debuts: None

Benson Boone - Slow It Down

Up 3 to number 15

Myles Smith - Stargazing

Up 1 to number 6

Dasha - Austin

Up 1 to number 9

Michael Marcagi - Scared To Start

Top of the Pops, 23rd May 2024

The year's trend so far for hits by earnest beardy guys is showcased particularly well this week, with longish runners Mark Ambor and Michael Marcagi joined by Myles Smith and, more alarmingly, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen (maybe not all of them have beards, but they are beardy in spirit).

However there is tonal variation provided by Chappell Roan and Eurovision's triumphant Nemo. And the ever perky Sabrina Carpenter remains at the top.
