Top of the Pops, 14th May 2015

Our exclusive performance this week comes courtesy of livewire popstrel Tove Lo. She's in the studio thanks to her own hit Talking Body, so is the perfect person to fill in for Bruno Mars on a slightly unhinged version of Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk.

There are also returns for friends of the show Ed Sheeran and Hozier, and Mumford and Sons celebrate their number 1 album with a three-track showcase medley.

Debuts: Alex Newell.

Top of the Pops, 23rd April 2015

Somewhat unusually, there are only two top ten hits on the show this week, from Dr Kucho and new number 1 artiste Wiz Khalifa (only the video for him as he's out of the country). Never fear, though, as the lower reaches of the chart bring us a Mumfords medley, an exclusive, never-to-be-repeated Skrillex/Lethal Bizzle collaboration, the delightful Meghan Trainor, and Kodaline.

Why have the Killers re-entered the top 75? Dunno, but it's nice to watch a clip of them in their prime nonetheless.

Debuts: Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth, Dr Kucho, Gregor Salto, Diztortion, Skrillex.

Mumford and Sons - Believe / The Wolf

Up 9 to number 42 / In at number 56

Dr Kucho & Gregor Salto - Can't Stop Playing (Makes Me High)

Highest New Entry - In at number 4

High Climber - Up 17 to number 27

Meghan Trainor - Dear Future Husband

Up 11 to number 29

Top of the Pops, 19th March 2015

The chart is looking very 90s this week, with patches of new entries and even fewer climbers than last week. This means that we have to look into the lower reaches for our guest performers, with the interesting result that there are three rock-ish acts featured for the first time in a long time. Including Muse, if you can believe it.

It's not all guitars and shrieking, though - there are also fresh faces from the worlds of dance and grime, a bit of Flo Rida, and the haha-larious Sam Smith and John Legend at number 1.

Debuts: Sage the Gemini, Kygo, Conrad, Stormzy

Flo Rida ft. Sage the Gemini - GFDR

In at number 3

The Vaccines - Handsome

In at number 74

Kygo ft. Conrad - Firestone

Up 11 to number 53

Stormzy - Know Me From

In at number 49

Muse - Psycho

In at number 65

Mumford and Sons - Believe

In at number 20

John Legend - All of Me

Long Runner - Up 3 to number 40 after 58 weeks

Sam Smith ft. John Legend - Lay Me Down

Straight in at number 1

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 11th July 2013

Ke$ha and Will.I.Am - Crazy Kids

High Climber - Up 8 to number 27 - It's been in the chart for a couple of weeks, but only just started making waves. Will and Ke$ha both make the trip to kick off the show with an energetic, hip-swivelling performance.

The Saturdays - Gentleman

In at number 14 - First appearance on the new TOTP for the Saturdays. The girls have a lot of fun with five sharp-suited male dancers.

Gabz - Lighters (The One)

In at number 6 - The former Britain's Got Talent contestant marks her arrival as a proper chart star with an impressive top ten entry.

Mumford and Sons - I Will Wait

Re-entry at number 31 - This week's biggest Glastonbury sales boost is enough to put the nation's favourite scruffcore roustabouts back in the top 40. A TOTP appearance makes a fun counterpart to their main-stage heroics last weekend.

Russ Chimes - Turn Me Out

In at number 40 - The second new face of the week is Russ Chimes, looking for a boost to send him further up the top 40 next week. Lots of dancers and lights here.

From the Vault: Robin S - Show Me Love

Re-entry at number 49 - It's actually the Steve Angello version that's re-entered the lower reaches of the chart, but that's still a great reason to show this fine original performance from way back in 1993.

Coldplay - Viva la Vida

Re-entry at number 45 - This can't be a From the Vault slot because Viva la Vida came too late to be on the original TOTP, but the band come on the show now to put that right. Quite a moment; Chris Martin looks thrilled to be here.

John Newman - Love Me Again

Straight in at number 1 - He was on last week with Rudimental, and here is the man of the moment again with a number 1 smash in his own right.
