Top of the Pops, 30th May 2024

It's a Billie Eilish week this week. Although she doesn't quite do enough to knock Sabrina Carpenter off the top (yet), she dominates the top ten with three hits from her new album, two of which are performed on the show. Also doubling up is Natasha Bedingfield, both of whose resurrected bangers are climing the chart this week.

There are also new tracks from Gunna and Tems, and reprises from NewEra and Hozier, plus a tribute to Amy Winehouse to fit in with the new film about her.

The tortured poet wave has largely broken, meaning that a lot of songs shuffle up a few places, giving us a nice compendium of the top hits of the moment from Benson Boone, Dasha, Artemas and even Noah Kahan. The most impressive climb, though, has to be Sabrina Carpenter skipping up all the way to her first even number 1 single.

Taylor Swift isn't completely done either, though, and she's here with another track from her super new album. Friend of the show Dua Lipa is here too, and Natasha Bedingfield is back with a second resurrected track, this time Badger-assisted.

Buoyed by the release of her album, Beyonce skips back up to number 1! She's in the studio this week performing the track of the moment once again, alongside her 21st century, non-weakness-admitting version of Jolene, which seems very her.

There's also a debut for Songer, a return for friend of the show Becky Hill, and a slightly rum collaboration from The Weeknd. And were it not for Bextor, Natasha Bedingfield would be attracting quite a lot of attention for her own triumphant comeback - can she breach the top ten?
