Top of the Pops, 4th April 2024

Spring has sprung and we have a very fresh show this week with a ton of new entries - Future, Hozier and Olivia Rodrigo in the top ten, and NewEra and Artemas lower down. Even Benson Boone at the top of the chart is able to pair his track of the moment with a new offering.

Charli XCX brings us Von Dutch for a second time, but this time it's the remix featuring Addison Rae. And Michael Marcagi reaches a new chart peak - how high can he go?

It's quite a week for the big pop name: Taylor is here with two tracks, Tate McRae keeps the chart positions high with her follow-up to Greedy, friend of the show Olivia Rodrigo is here again and even Doja Cat is back to open up for us.

After the deep cuts of last week, this week sees a lot of movement in the top ten, meaning that we catch up with long-running hits from Casso (a sweet candlelight version this week), Tyla and Tate McRae. International superstar Jung Kook is also resurgent, and Olivia Rodrigo hits the top 20 with yet another new track.

Longtime friend of the show Zara Larsson makes a welcome appearance, but of course the top spot is reserved for the Fab Four: Ringo appears in the studio to introduce a video montage.

Kenya Grace makes it three weeks at number 1, with the nearest featured competition being Noah Kahan's welcome surprise of a hit, just on the fringe of the top ten. Lower down Bastille are back in the chart for some reason, Olivia Rodrigo resurrects Vampire, and Kid Laroi has the highest new entry.

Seismic news this week: not only do we have top music icon Taylor Swift; not only do we have the red hot artist of the moment Olivia Rodrigo; but both have agreed to collaborate on a special performance of Get Him Back! Incredible scenes.

Not that the rest of the show is skippable, though: Drake has another big hit and brings both guest vocalists with him, Kenya Grace shows it wasn't a fluke with a second week at number 1, and there are strong new entries from Fred Again and Troye Sivan.

Top of the Pops, 21st September 2023

It's quite a moment this week as none other than the Rolling Stones are welcomed back to the Top of the Pops studio after decades away. More familiar faces (to younger viewers) are Leigh-Anne with a respectable second solo hit, BTS's V making his solo debut, and the chart queen of the moment Olivia Rodrigo. None of them can knock Doja Cat off the top, though, and she has another outlandish red-themed performance to delight the viewers.

Dance music has had a great year so far, and this week two veterans of the field each have two tracks to perform - step forward MK (with a cheeky appearance for longtime friend of the show Rita Ora) and Chase and Status.

Burna Boy and Dave have a new track, and Casso, RAYE and the D-Block lads return with a nice chart jump, but the big accolades go to a trio of big name female singers: Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez both enter the chart and Olivia Rodrigo hops up to number 1.

Top of the Pops, 17th August 2023

After last week's pink dominance, this week Doja Cat's return paints the TOTP studio red. Chase and Status also have a big climber to go alongside their now top ten hit alongside Becky Hill, and several hits from earlier in the summer are climbing back up the chart.

Dave and Central Cee make it ten weeks at the top - often the end of the road for number 1s due to the chart rules. They rope in some other guests to make the performance a memorable one.

PRESENTER: Miquita Oliver

Top of the Pops, 13th July 2023

Olivia Rodrigo makes a triumphant return, dropping in at number 2 and only being denied the top spot by the combined rap power of Dave and Central Cee. Elsewere Peggy Gou reaches another new peak and there's a strong showing from D-Block Europe after a quiet spell from them.

Top of the Pops, 30th September 2021

Lil Nas X is riding a wave this week, with two songs in the top ten. We also welcome an ebullient Taylor Swift, busy reclaiming the rights to more songs, as well as friends of the show The Weeknd and Becky Hill.

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 26th August 2021

King Ed Sheeran can't be shifted from the top and it's hard to see who would even have a chance - the highest new entry this week is from Digga D and Arrdee and well done to them, but number 6 is a long way from number 1. It's a strong and diverse line-up on the show, though, with Lil Nas X, Olivia Rodrigo, KSI, Doja Cat, Little Mix, Anne-Marie and even Tones & I all arguably the the biggest current names in their respective sub-fields. Whew.

Debuts: None

Top of the Pops, 15th July 2021

Football fever grips the nation. We have to make do with another From The Vault clip of Three Lions, but Fat Les do reform and come into the studio to rouse everyone's spirits further. 

Off the field, there's a new chart peak for the current Jonas Brothers single, a new track involving Drake, dancefloor royalty Becky Hill, and a couple of the less well-known songs from Miss 2021, Olivia Rodrigo. King Ed Sheeran reigns at the top for a second week.

Top of the Pops, 1st July 2021

There's a nice selection of bigger and (so far) smaller hits this week. At the top we have Olivia Rodrigo (plus another new one of hers), KSI and UK Rodrigo avatar Mimi Webb. Lower down are Willow, Griff and the new one from Mabel.

PRESENTER: Tim Key

Top of the Pops, 24th June 2021

There's a lot of chart news this week. Lorde is back, but such is the power of Olivia Rodrigo that New Zealand's pop yoda is actually outdone by Britain's own Rodrigo-alike Mimi Webb. Maneskin continue to defy conventional wisdom about Eurovision winners and rock music in general by now having ANOTHER hit with their version of Beggin'. And with the football starting up, Three Lions is looking in pretty good shape to go higher than its current placing of 22.

Among all that chart bedlam, some credit should go to Masked Wolf and Tom Zanetti, who have both racked up impressive runs in the top 20 and deserve their repeat appearances here.

Debuts: None

Masked Wolf - Astronaut In The Ocean

There are several new entries this week, including the queen of the 2020s Billie Eilish and a pair of British rappers, Arrdee and Tion Wayne. Man of the moment Tom Grennan is also here alongside Calvin Harris.

Chart continuity comes from friends of the show Little Mix, with an acoustic version of their Galantis-assisted hit, plus the year-plus chart run of Harry Styles, who this week performs the track on bongos and panpipes. Anne-Marie and Niall are also back, and of course Olivia Rodrigo is still making it look easy at the top of the chart.

With an audience back in the TOTP studio, it's fitting that Fred Again and the Blessed Madonna are here to take reflective view of the events of the last year. They're joined by fellow floor fillers Noizu and Boney M.

Our transatlantic megastars this week are The Weeknd, Doja Cat, SZA, and of course Olivia Rodrigo, who reprises Drivers License in a fun medley with her latest number 1. Perhaps most surprisingly, Eurovision winners Maneskin have a second song in the top 40. Bravo!

Top of the Pops, 3rd June 2021

What will be this year's summer anthem? At the moment it looks likely to be by Olivia Rodrigo, who completely dominates the chart and indeed the show this week with three top ten hits at once. However, there's also a strong rest-of-the-world contingent here: BTS from Korea, Maneskin from Italy and indeed the barely perceptible Galantis on the Little Mix hit.

He've also got repeat showings from Mimi Webb (top ten for the first time) and Polo G, and a big new breaker from friend of the show Anne-Marie and Niall Horan.

The bookers dip way down the chart this week, featuring rare outside-the-top-40 hits from Nicki Minaj and (gasp) Elton John, and there's also room for new face Bella Poarch. More regular guests include friends of the show Little Mix and Dua Lipa, plus Tion Wayne and Russ Millions in their third week at number 1.

But the chart excitement comes from four new entries: three from J Cole, plus a retinue of guest stars, and a follow-up from Olivia Rodrigo that almost matches the incredible peak of her first hit.

After her chart-conquering debut, Olivia Rodrigo is back at the more modest position of number 27. She joins Giveon in bringing new material to the show, and D-Block Europe perform their song in full for the first time after a cameo a few weeks ago.
