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, 2nd April 2026

Back from military service, this week the Top Of The Pops studio salutes international ultrastars BTS. But they can't quite fight off Sam Fender and Olivia Dean, who make it five weeks at the top.

An otherwise fairly quiet top 40 allows for a couple of entries from the mid 40s: Chris Stussy and, perhaps surprisingly, a debut for the eternally tipped girl group Flo. Friend of the show RAYE and Tik Tok feelingsman Alex Warren also grace the stage.

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 5th March 2026

There's an interesting mix of style on the show this week: a ballad from Sienna Spiro, smooth soul from Olivia Dean, pop from Sombr, rock (or the modern version of it) from Twenty One Pilots, and even a first appearance in seven years for Mr Dancehall Sean Paul.

K-Pop gets a look in as well, as Jennie turns up for her guest bit on the Tame Impala song. But as last week, the top spot belongs to the joyful strumming of Sam Fender and Olivia.

Debuts: Keyshia Cole

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Rick Witter

Top of the Pops, 26th February 2026

A couple of cross-media events dominate the show this week (a bit like the Superbowl last week). First we have the Wuthering Heights film: a not-so-bratty Charli XCX performs two of her songs from the soundtrack. And then there's the BRIT Awards bounce for acts including Harry Styles, the K-Pop Demon Hunters, and even Olivia Dean, whose Sam Fender collab skips up to number 1 after around nine months on the chart.

Elsewhere there's a new entry for Bella Kay, a strong chart climb for Dominic Fike, and a second appearance for Bruno Mars's latest cheeky offering. Perhaps the most unexpected appearance is Milky, back from the 00s thanks to a new remix.

Top of the Pops, 12th Feburary 2026

Dave and Tems are back up to number 1 this week, Dave performing a stripped-back solo version on the show. The biggest entry is from Noah Kahan, there's a resurgence from friend of the show RAYE, and not for the first time we have an Olivia Dean double bill.

Zara Larsson and Sonny Fodera are also chart climbing - Zara bringing a string section for a dramatic rendering of Midnight Sun.

PRESENTER: Radzi Chinyanganya

Top of the Pops, 29th January 2026

A lot of fallers in the top 40 means that it's one of those weeks when the TOTP producers get to explore the lower reaches a bit. They find the evergreen People Watching from the hugely popular Sam Fender, a longtime bubbler-under from Addison Rae, and the first appearance in a long while from ASAP Rocky.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are going back up the chart for whatever reason, as are the Cure, who get the From The Vault slot. There are strong new showings from Gunna and friend of the show Zara Larsson, while Dave (with Tems of course) gets a richly deserved, or even somewhat belated, number 1 hit.

Debuts: None

Sam Fender - People Watching

Up 1 to number 43

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

Sabrina Carpenter - Such A Funny Way

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 27th November 2025

The K-Pop Demon Hunters take a week off this week, but the animated fun rolls on as the cast of Hazbin Hotel make their debut on the show. They aren't the highest new entry though - that honour goes to wuthering expert Charli XCX, with Lewis Capaldi not far behind.

Friends of the show Tate McRae and Sonny Fodera are also in attendance, as are man of the year contender Sombr and undisputed woman of the year Olivia Dean. There's a faint sound of jingling bells in the chart this week, but we'll save all that until December.

Debuts: Poppy Baskcomb, Hazbin Hotel

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.

Viewers are also delighted to receive a double performance from Tame Impala, the returns of Esdeekid and Kehlani, and the first appearance of Joji for three years. And there's yet another K-Pop Demon Hunters song.

Top of the Pops, 25th September 2025

A lot of this show serves as a refresher on recent hits you might have missed: two from Sombr, two from Alex Warren, the always delightful Sam and Olivia duet, the recent number 1 from Chappell Roan. Then on the other hand we've got the latest entry from King Ed Sheeran, and entries into the top 40 for KATSEYE and the classy Kehlani ballad. The K-Pop Demon Hunters show no sign of budging from number 1.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 14th August 2025

Chappell Roan comes out of nowhere to curtail the K-Pop Demon Hunters' stay at number 1 after a single week - but they are back anyway with their secondary top ten hit Soda Pop. Also showing good chart stamina are Rossi, Disco Lines (plus low-key superstar Tinashe) and the duetters of the moment Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. 

The summer of Oasis continues in the From The Vault slot, as their fan favourite Slide Away actually makes the top 40 for the first time.

After their debut last week, the K-Pop Demon Hunters are back with two songs this time. Also returning are King Ed Sheeran and (now four in a row) Olivia Dean. Friend of the show Tate McRae is back as well, and international megastar Drake provides even more star power.

Perhaps surprisingly, Lewis Capaldi's drop allows MK and Chrystal to hop up to the top spot - well done to them!

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.

Top of the Pops, 6th March 2025

Tate McRae's album is out, and after building her following for a while she has a strong chart showing; she performs the biggest hit and the biggest new one. Also new is the Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco track, while Aitch and Bou rave their way into the top 40 for the first time.

Kendrick Lamar holds steady at number 1, just pipping eternal number 2 artiste Chappell Roan, and Lady Gaga keeps her place in the top 5.

Top of the Pops, 27th February 2025

Here's one of the more remarkable climbs to number 1: Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us makes it all the way in its 25th week on the chart. Kendrick celebrates with a raucus performance, and also invites SZA for a touching reprise of All The Stars. It's his week, but his buddy Drake is also here with his own new top 20 entry.

Elsewhere there's a fun new duet from AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith, last year's empress Sabrina Carpenter with her newest track plus an oldie, and a rousing show-opener from Sam Fender.

Top of the Pops, 6th February 2025

Wow. After a lot of reprises so far this year, this week's show has almost a full house of new entries! That means British rap from Central Cee and Aitch, US rap from Travis Scott and Sexxy Red, pop from Tate McRae, dance from BL3SS, and even a bit of good old rock from Sam Fender. Nice selection, British public!

The only repeat performer is the still-fresh-feeling Lola Young, who makes it a fortnight at the top.

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2025

Just like that, after a slow start, the 2025 chart picture explodes into colour. There's a richly deserved new number 1 from Lola Young, a big new entry for Central Cee, and exciting chart climbers from Doechii and Sam Barber. Plus a double header from international megastar Bad Bunny.

Sam Fender is also coming back up the chart, though his singles success doesn't yet match the size of his media profile or the live crowds he plays to. There's still a bit of 2024 continuity as well, from two of the artists of last year, Gracie Abrams and Teddy Swims.

Debuts: Sam Barber, Avery Anna, Doechii
