Top of the Pops, 1st October 2020

24KGolden and Iann Dior take the fateful final step and find themselves at the top of the chart this week, displacing Megan and Cardi. The biggest new entry comes from Justin Bieber, and he has competition in the megastar stakes from the international sensations BTS.

More downbeatly, we've also got another posthumous hit from Pop Smoke, who's been having big hits the whole time but can hardly be featured week in week out. Sam Smith has a big new entry with low-key banger Diamonds, and Jason Derulo and Sigala are at least adequate ways to round out the show.

Debuts: Lil TJay

BTS - Dynamite

Up 2 to number 19

Justin Bieber ft. Chance The Rapper - Holy

Highest New Entry - In at number 10

Top of the Pops, 30th April 2020

It's a very quiet chart in some ways, but there's a decent number of new entries stretching from the top to the bottom of the top 40. From slow-burning new arrivals like Gerry Cinnamon, to new stuff from established stars like Sam Smith, to a double bill of blockbuster reactions to the pandemic from the Live Lounge Allstars and the thoroughly good egg Captain Tom Moore.

In fact the only non-new entry comes from friends of the show Little Mix, performing a lovely exclusive version of Break Up Song in split-screen acapella.

Debuts: M Huncho, Beth Porch, Gerry Cinnamon, Captain Tom Moore.

Sam Smith and Demi Lovato - I'm Ready

Top of the Pops, 23rd May 2019

A week of reduced chart activity means that several long-running hits get another crack of the whip. Madison Beer is here without her DJ support to give us a candlelight version of All Day And Night, while Kygo, Jonas Blue and Meduza also represent the EDM contingent.

The big news, though, is the return of King Ed Sheeran. He and Justin Bieber doing impressions of each other are straight in at the top.

Debuts: Nafe Smallz

Skepta and Nafe Smallz - Greaze Mode

In at number 22

Kygo ft. Rita Ora - Carry On

Up 3 to number 27
