Top of the Pops, 23rd April 2026

As the chart shuffles around it's time to check in on some long-term residents of the top ten: Alex Warren, Tame Impala and Jennie, and man of the moment Sombr are all going strong, while Sam Fender and Olivia Dean make it very nearly two months at the top.

There are strong new entries from Lady Gaga and Doechii and Katseye, and there's also been a surprising Bieber resurgence. He performs two of his own songs and then hangs around to lend that extraordinary voice to a guest verse on the Sam and Olivia track.

Top of the Pops, 8th January 2026

We're back after the Christmas break and it's the usual fairly silly post-Christmas chart, where anything with sleigh bells on it plummets downwards or disappears and everything else zooms back up. 

Generally this means a TOTP that acts as a round-up of the biggest hits from the end of the previous year - and we do have Olivia Dean, Dave, Sam Fender, Taylor Swift and our new number 1 hit from friend of the show RAYE. But there are some surprises as well - a resurgence for a Djo song from a couple of years ago, a top 30 re-entry for Tiffany, and a brand new track from good old Sabrina Carpenter.

Debuts: None

Olivia Dean - So Easy (To Fall In Love)

Back in at number 4

Djo - End Of Beginning

Up 49 to number 7

Sabrina Carpenter - Such A Funny Way

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 11th December 2025

Reindeer-type music continues to charge up the chart, so there's another From The Vault round-up of oldies - but also new or at least vaguely contemporary Christmas faves from Kylie Minogue, Laufey, friend of the show Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter - not a bad line-up.

Many congratulations also to Haven, Djo and indeed Taylor Swift for doing well with non-Christmas music. Can Taylor cling on until the big day?

Debuts: Haven, Kaitlin Aragon

Haven ft. Kaitlin Aragon - I Run

Up 16 to number 21

Top of the Pops, 30th October 2025

Sam Fender ups the ante this week, being joined not only by the breakout chart star of the year (non-K-pop category) Olivia Dean, but also by Sir Elton John! TOTP magic right there.

Top of the Pops, 23rd October 2025

It's fair to say that the charts are female-dominated at the moment, but it's rare for every song on Top of the Pops to be female-led. It's no bad thing, though - especially this week when there are exciting new hits for Jisoo and especially Sienna Spiro, plus returning heavyweights RAYE and Sabrina Carpenter.

Tinashe finally appears with an exclusive solo version of No Broke Boys, and there's an equally special double showing from Olivia Dean, who has three songs in the top ten just now. But they're not as high up as the three songs of Taylor Swift - the week belongs to her once again.

Debuts: Jisoo, Sienna Spiro

Jisoo ft. ZAYN - Eyes Closed

In at number 37

Tinashe - No Broke Boys

Up 2 to number 18

Sienna Spiro - Die On This Hill

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Adrian Chiles

Top of the Pops, 9th October 2025

All change in the chart this week: the K-Poppers are unseated at the top by none other than the woman of the year Olivia Dean - richly deserved. There are also big new entries from Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and Doja Cat, and RAYE has a full band reprise of the song that made her, Escapism.

On the male side of things there's a new one from Myles Smith and a debut appearance for Tkandz and CXSPER.

Top of the Pops, 18th September 2025

Top of the Pops this week is quite the parade of global megastars: Rihanna, Gaga, Sabrina, Calvin, Justin Bieber... and the popstar of the year so far Olivia Dean doesn't seem out of place in that company.

Top of the Pops, 11th September 2025

It's one of those weeks where the chart tides are ebbing, meaning that several hits from outside the top 40 get featured. We've got Kehlani, Denon Reed and Cru2, and in keeping with the current K-Pop trend, KATSEYE - not all Korean, but very much in the K tradition.

The spotlight for the week, though, has to be on the big new entry for last year's queen Sabrina Carpenter. Plus for those who like their music critically acclaimed, a rare appearance from Tyler The Creator.

It's a pretty ravey edition of Top of the Pops this week, with Disco Lines (with Tinashe in person to rock the crowd!), MK, Jazzy, Fred Again and even Pinkpantheress bringing club sounds to the TOTP stage. Way up the other end of the scale is Olivia Dean and Sam Fender's charming throwback duet.

A few Christmas favourites are starting to encroach into the chart, but Top of the Pops is holding its festive horses for now. Instead the show is able to feature a bonanza of new entries, from Jin, Linkin Park, Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and most impressively Sam Fender's triumphant re-emergence at number 4.

Incredible scenes this week as the number 1 single is... not Sabrina Carpenter! Instead it's Gigi Perez, capping off one of the more impressive chart climbs of the year with (at least) a week at the very top. Sabrina is not to be defeated completely though, as newer hit Bed Chem is looming ominously in the lower reaches of the top ten.

Other big news includes a big new entry from Lady Gaga, and the release of Tyler the Creator's album, sampled here with two choice tracks. Addison Rae doubles up as well, adding new hit Aquamarine to the still-climbing Diet Pepsi.

And not only that: she fills in alongside Bruno Mars, as Lady Gaga is off promoting her Joker musical madhouse film.

Elsewhere we have the return of international megastar Jimin, a nice slowed-down candlelight performance from Jazzy, and a big new entry from KSI. Plus a new chart peak for Addison Rae and a look back into the past with Crowded House.
