Top of the Pops, 24th November 2016

Christmas is clearly getting close. The show this week is unusually dominated by artists who tend to sell more than stream; those, in other words, whose albums are gearing up for the December market. Not completely dominated, though - I don't think Zay Hilfiger and Zayion McCall fall into that category, for example.

A couple of neat exclusives bookend the show. First, Mark Morrison rocks up in person to breathe life into his resurrected, re-jigged hit alongside Fetty Wap and Nevada. And then Robbie Williams, most of whose songs seem to be about his daughter these days, makes a very apt guest appearance on Clean Bandit's parent-centric Rockabye. You'll only see it here, folks.

Debuts: Nevada, Zay Hilfiger, Zayion McCall.

Top of the Pops, 3rd November 2016

A lean week for chart climbers means that three of our featured acts come from outside the top 40, but that's no bad thing as we get to enjoy the cult hit of the moment from Kideko and friends, newcomer Andy Grammer, and Britain's foremost light entertainer Olly Murs.

Elsewhere we have current TOTP stalwart Dua Lipa, friend of the show Zara Larsson, and a two-song medley from problematic fave Shawn Mendes. Sean Paul is unavailable this week (a first for him?) so the lusty shouting role on the returning Clean Bandit's track is filled by dancehall legend Sweetie Irie.

Debuts: Kideko, George Kwali, Nadia Rose, Sweetie Irie, Andy Grammer.

Top of the Pops, 8th September 2016

With the top of the chart all jammed up, we get to feature some hot tracks from the lower reaches this week. That includes a long runner from friends of the show Coldplay, and the new one from Cash Cash and Digital Farm Animals.

The old Bob Marley track is leaping up the chart again, and happily Olly Murs is here to reprise his vocal turn from a fortnight ago (no, not in a rasta wig). This time Nelly joins him to add an exclusive few bars of his own.

Top of the Pops, 25th August 2016

An exclusive treat this week: in Cold Water's fourth week at number one, we have Ed Sheeran, officially on a break from the biz, filling in for Justin Bieber on the track he wrote. And not only that: obviously Bob Marley can't come into the studio to sing Is This Love, so Olly Murs gamely takes vocal duties with Lvndscape and Bolier.

With summer still ongoing, Justin Timberlake finally gets back on the show with Can't Stop The Feeling, and the Chainsmokers are also here with their nice late summer anthem Closer. Friends of the show Clean Bandit and ZAYN also make microclimbs so are invited to reprise their current tracks.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 21st July 2016

Drake is now one week away from drawing level with Wet Wet Wet at number one but he's not here to celebrate. Instead we get one of the livelier stand-in performances as Britain's foremost light entertainer Olly Murs takes the helm for a snappy reimagining.

As well as the Mursinator, Bastille and MØ are returning after some time away, the latter now with her own song after spending most of last year guesting with Major Lazer. Jonas Blue, Kent Jones and promising newcomers Christine and the Queens are also making headway up the chart.

Top of the Pops, 10th December 2015

It's beginning to look a little like Christmas, as Mariah spearheads the annual festive chart invasion; once again an old performance of hers brings Christmas magic to the From The Vault slot. After his domination last week, Bieber takes the day off, but he's still at number 1 so Love Yourself is played over a montage of clips from his already surprisingly long career.

We may not have Bieber, but - it's a Festivus miracle! - none other than Beyonce is finally here to give us the full version of Runnin' in all its glory, alongside Naughty Boy and Arrow Benjamin. Coldplay give us a cockle-warming acoustic version of Adventure Of A Lifetime, and friend of the show The Weeknd is here to perform The Hills in full Santa regalia.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 26th November 2015

This week, more than ever before, is Bieber Week. In an unprecedented chart full house, young Justin has the number one single, the highest new entry and the high climber - and they're all different songs. Fortunately he agrees to grace us with his presence, performing quite a chunk of his newly released album.

Other than that there's a strong X Factor connection: One Direction and Olly Murs are former contestants, Jess Glynne has recently performed on the results show and even Ariana Grande benefits from One Last Time being chosen, during Movie Week for some reason.

Debuts: Format B.

One Direction - Perfect / Drag Me Down

Up 6 to number 10 / Up 15 to number 37

Top of the Pops, 22nd October 2015

How long has it been since Olly Murs featured? Too long. But we waste no time by asking him to open the show this week. Rather more recent TOTPers Pia Mia and the Weeknd are also here, and in fact they team up for another spellbinding one-off interpretation of Do It Again.

The rest is quite eclectic, featuring rock, throwback house, acoustic singerliness, reggae, bhangra and gospel - the last three of those coming in a curveball reworked version of the Major Lazer track.

Top of the Pops, 9th April 2015

The resurgent TOTP is spoiling its viewers with special exclusive performances. In the absence of Demi, Olly Murs duets with none other than Tove Lo. In the absence of Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson backs up the living legend that is Dappy. In the presence of two top 40 climbers, Sia gives an arty mashup of them both. And friend of the show Ed Sheeran invites remix pals Rudimental to perform Bloodstream with him, so we get that guy in the hat going 'Yeah, yeah' over it.

Jess Glynne is still number 1.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops is even more varied than usual this week. We've got house, grime, reggae, Major Lazer's reggae-bhangra thing, and drum and bass. We also bring you slowies from Olly Murs and friend of the show Ed Sheeran, who performs next to a camp fire, encircled by a swaying audience. Lovely.

Top of the Pops, 26th March 2015

A bit of TOTP musical chairs this week produces some special one-offs. Bruno Mars is out of town so Mark Ronson calls on Olly Murs AND Maroon 5's Adam Levine to bring their song and dance man talents to Uptown Funk. Murs in turn recruits Sam Smith for the Lovato role on Up, before returning the favour to do justice to John Legend's lines on still-number-one Lay Me Down.

We also see James Bay scale a new chart peak, and a trio of dance hits rounds out the show.

Debut: Tough Love.

Three shades of cinema tie-ins this week as Ellie Goulding continues to tie up the number 1 slot, while fellow bondage-beneficiary The Weeknd has two charting songs from the soundtrack of the moment. Most other appearances are reprises of previously featured songs, but note that all the artists do take the time to visit the studio again - there are no repeated performances on this show, folks.

Our new entry comes from sometime presenter Marvin Humes's Luvbug, and the most special performance is once again down to Olly Murs: with Demi Lovato out of the country, he recruits Princess Ellie to help out for an exclusive one-off duet.

Top of the Pops, 5th February 2015

The January slow period is over and we have four new entries in the studio, including TOTP debuts for Karen Harding, Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo. Even so, there's still room for Hozier and James Bay, who both reach new chart peaks this week, and a re-showed vintage performance from Jay-Z and Linkin Park.

Ronson and Mars hold fast at number 1. With Ronson free but Mars out of the country, Britain's always-available equivalent Olly Murs ably stands in on vocals and fancy footwork.

Some fun exclusive performances this week. First, with Demi L unavailable, Paloma Faith fills in for her on the duet with Olly Murs. Next, none other than Paul McCartney drops in for a solo version of his Kanye collaboration. And finally, Sam Smith brings a gospel choir for his latest TOTP popup.

Most of the other performances come from the dance world, as a fairly static January chart gives some long-runners a chance to climb back up. One Direction are also back, in a reflective mood, and Mark and Bruno are still at the top - once again we make do with the video, but what a video it is.

Debuts: Tchami, Kaleem Taylor.

No surprise at the top of the charts as Band Aid process to the number 1 slot, pushing a couple of high quality contenders down to 2 and 3. We feature them all (though Band Aid is just the video), along with numerous other new entries.

A mixture of old and new this week. High climbers OneRepublic make a startling leap after a month on the chart already, and fellow slow-burners Olly Murs and Bastille also come onto the radar.
