Top of the Pops, 18th April 2024

2024's parade of gravelly-voiced, whiskey-soaked, wizened troubadors rolls on with none other than Hozier making a slightly unexpected vault into pole position. Only a little behind him are Artemas, Dasha and Djo, all on impressive runs.

It's Dave and Central Cee's week again: Sprinter stays at the top and their two other collabs both reach new peaks just a little lower down. Not even a strong showing from J Hus and global superstar Drake can spoil their party.

Party vibes are also brought by the Jonas Brothers, Rudimental, and in unbelievably basic form, Nathan Dawe and Joel Corry. There's a rousing return for Sam Fender and a pretty surprising instance of Shania Twain as well.

Calvin Harris is back in the studio for the proper rave-up version of Miracle as it reaches six weeks at the top. Other dance bangers are brought by Anne-Marie, Rudimental and Switch Disco, and the latter two join Calvin to do a three-way euphoric remix of As It Was as Harry Styles celebrates 60 consecutive weeks on the chart, most of them in the upper reaches.

Two big names have new entries this week: Lana Del Rey and Kylie Minogue both do well with their fresh material. David Kushner is also back with his Hozier-style, inexplicably popular balled.

King Ed Sheeran shows us how it's done, climbing into the top ten and twenty with three tracks and mashing them into a medley to delight us this week. Also impressing are Rudimental, finally breaking into the top 40 after a three-week climb, and Bring Me The Horizon who have a pretty high entry for a traditional band.

Returning to the studio are Cupid and the incomparable Taylor Swift, and Florence is in the From The Vault slot with one of the tracks that made her name all those years ago. Ellie Goulding gives us the candlelight version of Miracle for its fifth week at the summit.

Top of the Pops, 5th April 2018

At last, they've done it. Assisted by the accelerated chart ratio, Rudimental and friends make the one small step up to number 1, appearing with a carnival-type performance and big grins on their faces.

Aside from that it's mostly a rundown of faves from the last few weeks, the exception being the suspiciously smooth Shawn Mendes, in at number 13. Of note are the double-header marking the release of George Ezra's album, and the way Florida Georgia Line seem to be becoming unlikely TOTP regulars.

Double Drake this week: the great man holds steady at number 1, and also shares the distinction of highest new entry with Migos. There's no Greatest Show tune, sadly, but Hollywood is represented by Liam and Rita's theme from the Fifty Shades film. Sigrid is back, as are Not3s and Mabel, who seem to be on every week just now. The big new track of the moment comes from Rudimental, who show up with all three of their guest vocalists as well as, of course, that guy in the hat.

All hail Post Malone, and indeed 21 Savage, as they take the final step to settle in the number 1 spot. Also breaking new ground are Chris and Kem and Mabel (with Kojo Funds) all making their TOTP debuts.

Ed Sheeran is back after a little while away with a two-song medley, but as touching as Perfect is, the show's real moment is the classic Tom Petty performance, shown in remembrance of the great man.

More fresh delights appear as summer draws to a close. Not least is the collaboration between friends of the show Little Mix and CNCO, all nine of whom come to grace the TOTP stage. Liam Payne has the latest in the unending procession of 1D solo singles, and we have an exclusive double-header from Yxng Bane and Yungen, who are both capital fellows.

The big news, though, is the return of Justin Bieber. Although Dua Lipa impressively prevents him from reaching the very top, this week at least.

We've also got Rudimental (including the guy in the hat), Sigala, the new one from Dua Lipa and, for the seventh time in eight weeks now, the keen as mustard Camila Cabello.

Miley Cyrus's rather nice Malibu is rising back up the chart, so she drops in to perform it and stays for a charming exclusive cameo on Ed Sheeran's otherwise rather tired Shape Of You.

Top of the Pops, 3rd December 2015

Justin Bieber dominates the top 40 this week, but Justin himself is otherwise engaged so we only get the video for his number 1 hit, Sorry. Sorry. That means we have to look some way down the chart to fill up our show, giving opportunities to exciting bubblers-under Robin Schulz and Yates, Grace, and Shawn Mendes.

Friends of the show The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran also return to ramp up the star power, and we welcome Nathan Sykes, a former member of The Wanted, for a second solo appearance.

The top of the charts this week belongs to Sam Smith and his toe-tappin' Bond song, and the singer of the moment is also happy to help out friend of the show Pia Mia on a unique and bewitching version of her long-running hit Do It Again. Weirdly, though, Smith's vocals on the Disclosure track are sung this week by Lorde, who combines it with her own new brothers feature Magnets.

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.

It's been a Britsy week. Five of our acts here are Brit Award winners or performers, including Bastille and Rudimental reprising their team-up from the ceremony itself (and even our presenter, Duffy, is a three-time former winner). Katy Perry even brings most of her set from the Brits show along with her. Non-Brit tracks include newies from Tegan and Sara and A Great Big World, plus a long-running mid-hit from Idina Menzel. Critics' Choice Sam Smith actually has four songs in the top 75, but this week is all about Money On My Mind.
