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, 21st November 2013

Some real show-stoppers this week. We have Robbie Williams in full naval uniform, Gaga AND R Kelly performing their entry, international big name Celine Dion, and a rather special co-interpretation from Lily Allen and Keane, who both have versions of the same song climbing the top 40. All this and Martin Garrix, who brings a whole farmyard full of animals (people in onesies) to help him celebrate outselling the lot of 'em.

Top of the Pops, 27th June 2013

Dizzee Rascal and Robbie Williams - Goin' Crazy

New entry at number 5 - Rowdy, cheeky, loveable, irrepressible. This classic performance is everything you'd expect from a dream TOTP pairing.

Tom Odell - Another Love

Re-entry at number 10 - A small-stage, candlelit, heartfelt performance from Tom. The crowd are on their best behaviour as his dad proudly watches on.

Jason DerĂ¼lo - The Other Side

Highest New Entry - In at number 2 - This is one of those RnB performances where the singer just dances about saying 'hey' while the song plays in the background. He touches some audience members' hands near the end, which makes them go 'wooooooo'.

London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years

New entry at number 31 - I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about these people. Maybe you don't either. But that will all change after this barnstorming TOTP performance.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

New entry at number 11 - Amps on stage alert.

From the Vault: Evanescence - My Immortal

Re-entry at number 74 - We dig out a tape of Amy and co from 2003, who are back in the lower reaches of the chart thanks to an interpretation by the winner of The Voice.

Bastille - Pompeii

Up 6 to number 24 - Dan Smith brings along an army of people in togas to do the chanting live. Enchanting.

Robin Thicke feat. TI - Blurred Lines

Fourth week at number 1 - A coup: TI is persuaded to make the flight over, so Robin and T give us a Pharrell-less rendition this time round (Skateboard P is off buying socks).

PRESENTER: Steve Jones
