Top of the Pops, 24th April 2025

Alex Warren is still fairly uncontested at the top, but there's a notable chart achievement from Sombr, whose multiple tracks on the chart permit a fourth consecutive showing from the new artiste.

Aside from that we have a couple of climbers, a debut and a big re-entry, and a real curiosity in the shape of Jack Black's very short song from the Minecraft film: he makes the most of his screen time with an outlandish costume and a confetti cannon.

Top of the Pops, 29th August 2024

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are the biggest news this week, dropping in seemingly out of nowhere with a top ten smash. Post Malone's album is out as well, so he performs a triple bill sampler of its three rootin' tootin' hits.

Elsewhere there are new chart peaks for Sonny Fodera and Hanumakind, a flying visit from Taylor Swift, and a rousing debut from Gigi Perez. Chase and Status are still cracking heads at the top.

Top of the Pops, 8th August 2024

The brat summer continues with Charli XCX reaching a new peak, still outside the top ten though, and working in a bit of the remix as well. Perhaps even more fabulous is Chappell Roan, now at number 2 and also able to perform a second hit.

Meanwhile there's a decent entry for Post Malone and a debut for Adam Port. We welcome back Shaboozey and Kendrick, take a look at the young years of Justin Timbo and the N*SYNC boys, and continue to enjoy Sabrina Carpenter who is really putting down roots in the top spot - she performs with a bluegrass-inspired arrangement this week.

PRESENTER: Radzi Chinyanganya

Top of the Pops, 27th June 2024

This week is a bit of a round-up of a lot of the big hits of the last few months, with a strong skew towards that American country-adjacent sound that's made such an unexpected impact his year. So we've got Dasha, Benson Boone, Michael Marcagi, Post Malone going country, and the rest.

A bit breezier is Sabrina Carpenter, hitting number 1 now with her Meghan Trainor-esque newer hit (with Espresso at number 2 as well). And what's that on the horizon? Football might be coming home so here are its sempiternal harbingers, Baddiel and Skinner.

Debuts: None

Benson Boone - Slow It Down

Up 3 to number 15

Myles Smith - Stargazing

Up 1 to number 6

Dasha - Austin

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 23rd May 2024

The year's trend so far for hits by earnest beardy guys is showcased particularly well this week, with longish runners Mark Ambor and Michael Marcagi joined by Myles Smith and, more alarmingly, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen (maybe not all of them have beards, but they are beardy in spirit).

However there is tonal variation provided by Chappell Roan and Eurovision's triumphant Nemo. And the ever perky Sabrina Carpenter remains at the top.

Debuts: Morgan Wallen, Nemo, Myles Smith

Post Malone ft. Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help

Highest New Entry - In at number 2

PRESENTER: Rosie Jones

Top of the Pops, 2nd May 2024

In a week with such a high profile new release, it was inevitable that the number 1 spot would of course be taken by the world-shaking cultural icon Post Malone - and of course Taylor Swift, on whose song he is kindly invited to guest.

Elsewhere the influx of Swift has pushed most other songs down a few places, so we have to look a fair way down the chart for other climbers. That's good news for Shaboozey and Lay Bankz, and even Pozer down at number 41. Also of note is the new entry from Headie One and Stormzy - with a perhaps surprisingly low-key chart position for such a big-name team-up, but of course they bring the energy to the TOTP studio.

Debuts: Lay Bankz, Shaboozey

Pozer - Malicious Intentions

In at number 41

Drake - Push Ups

In at number 14

Bryson Tiller - Whatever She Wants

Up 2 to number 22

Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy)

Taylor Swift ft. Post Malone - Fortnight

PRESENTER: Brian Butterfield

Top of the Pops, 25th May 2023

There's an unprecedented Eurovision flavour to the show this week, as no fewer than four of the featured acts invade the top ten. Some of the performances shown here are taken from the event itself, but Mae Muller and winner Loreen make the trip to the TOTP studio.

In non-Euro news, Jazzy has a breakthrough climb and we welcome international megastar Post Malone, homegrown chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi, and a first appearance for almost two years for Little Durk.

Debuts: Alessandra, Kaarija, Loreen

Jazzy - Giving Me

Top of the Pops, 27th April 2023

Chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi makes it look easy, easing into the number 1 berth once again. He leads quite a back of new entries this week, including Ice Spice, Post Malone and David Kushner, as well as the movie-driven novelty chart breaker from Jack Black.

The middle of the show welcomes back Ella Henderson and Niall Horan, whose hits are showing some good staying power. And one of the big hitmakers from the end of last year, SZA, is back with a double hitter.

Top of the Pops, 16th June 2022

Harry Styles has made it to ten weeks at number 1. Chart compilation rules mean that a dip next week is quite likely, so he pulls out all the stops here and invites most of this week's performers and some other celebrity friends to join him on stage.

In other news we have a rare solo hit from Burna Boy, the return of friend of the show Doja Cat alongside megastar scruff Post Malone, and a little bit of Shotgun from George Ezra because why not.

Top of the Pops, 26th May 2022

If rock is over, nobody told My Chemical Romance, who open the show this week. There's also a pleasingly retro feel about our Eurovision-powered highest new entry from Sam Ryder. More contemporary sounds come from Post Malone, friends of the show D-Block Europe and Kendrick Lamar, and there's a welcome return for La Roux doing her cameo on the Tion Wayne track. Harry Styles dresses up as a hobbit for his seventh week at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 18th November 2021

A nice mix of new and returning tracks this week. In the new column are some of the stories of the year: Arrdee, Silk Sonic and Sam Fender, plus Post Malone's first TOTP appearance since he bestrode the world in 2019.

Three weeks at number 1 now for Tones & I; where did that come from? She performs a candlelight mix this week.

Lower down the chart, we've got a big new entry from Harry Styles and a pretty big chartbreaker from Tiesto and Mabel. Chart colossus Lewis Capaldi is back again, and he also guests on a nice exclusive version of Circles with Post Malone.

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 10th October 2019

There are a lot of familiar faces on the show this week - Sam Smith, chart mastodon Lewis Capaldi, Post Malone, friend of the show Aitch - but one thing we did NOT expect was the number 1. Tones & I leaps like Katarina Johnson-Thompson to take the top spot, so maximum credit to her.

Top of the Pops, 26th September 2019

It's been pretty slow-moving chart lately, but this week we have absolute fireworks. Not only does the Charlie's Angels theme crash in just short of the top spot (sadly only two of the pop triumvirate are here to perform it) but we also have chartbreakers from Stormzy, Normani, Dave, D-Block Europe and a resurgent Lil Nas X.

Most surprising of all must be a TOTP return for Ozzy Osbourne, alongside his good friend Post Malone. In a week of turmoil, the only certainty is that King Ed Sheeran still reigns at the top.

Debuts: None

Stormzy - Wiley Flow

In at number 37

Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus - Don't Call Me Angel

What a year it's been for new friend of the show Aitch. He performs two strong new entries this week, as well as returning to guest on the Young T and Bugsey track. The mighty Stormzy also does double duty, bringing us solo sounds as well as reprising his turn on Take Me Back To London, still at the top.

We've also got energetic chart breakthroughs from Tones & I and Regard, another big new entry from Post Malone, and a second appearance for the reflective sounds of Dermot Kennedy.

PRESENTERS: Heidi Range, Jade Ewen and Amelle Berrabah

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2019

Once again more than half the line-up this week is britrap and related music - 2019 has really been the year for it. Meanwhile Post Malone seems to have abandoned US-rap for the moment, dropping in at number 11 with a soft rock song instead.

In other genres, Rita Ora fronts Jonas Blue's dance ditty as it reaches a new high position, and chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi flies the flag for hoary balladeering.

There are a few songs around that have just kept building and building. Here's AJ Tracey, now up to number 4 after 22 weeks on the chart, and Dominic Fike makes the top ten for the first time after 13 weeks. Lower down, Ellie Goulding and Juice Wrld have finally climbed high enough to get their TOTP invitation too.

We've also got dance from Joel Corry, rap from Dave and newcomer Lil Tecca, and the sultry Canadio-Latin number 1 from Shawn and Camila.

Lots of changes on the chart here. King Ed is finally deposed from number 1 by our new king and queen, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. There's a trio of strong new entries from Mist, Post Malone and D-Block Europe, and longtime climbers from Kygo, Freya Ridings, Miley Cyrus and especially AJ Tracey are all rewarded with new chart peaks. Tracey welcomes his sampled vocalist Jorja Smith onto the show to sing live in celebration, while Kygo gets leading soundalike singer Kelli-Leigh to pay tribute to Whitney.

Singersongwritermania continues to grip the UK: Tom Walker charges to a new chart peak, Lewis Capaldi still has the best seller, and George Ezra has now been on the chart for an entire year with Shotgun.

But other genres are well-represented: RnB from Khalid, fun pop from the Jonas Brothers, pop masquerading as indie masquerading as dance from Marshmello and Chvrches, and rap from friend of the show A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
