Top of the Pops, 14th April 2022

Harry Styles splats in at the top of the chart and pushes everything else down, meaning that you have to delve right down to the lower reaches to find climbers. They're a pretty good collection, though: not one but two new Rodrigo-alikes in Elley Duhe and Dylan Conrique, and longtime bubbler-unders from Charlie Puth and Sigala.

The big new hits come from Shawn Mendes and Lil TJay, as well as the triumphant homecoming performance from Harry of course.

Top of the Pops, 3rd December 2020

It's December and the big guns are coming out. BTS, Mendes and Bieber and Cyrus and Lipa all take their best shots at the chart, although for the moment they are still behind Ariana Grande and also the surprisingly resilient Wes Nelson and Hardy Caprio.

It's a loaded show for pop fans this week. Ariana Grande holds on at number one and also has another highest new entry. Shawn Mendes is back with his new single. And there are microclimbs for longer-running hits from Clean Bandit, Joel Corry and the modern day version of Phats and Small, Sigala.

Top of the Pops, 15th October 2020

We've got several urban-type chartbreakers this week, from Bryson Tiller (with the obligatory Drake feature), Wes Nelson and Hardy Caprio, and most of all an Aitch-assisted D-Block Europe. More reflectively, Shawn Mendes reappears with Wonder, and friend of the show Dua Lipa is levitating back up the chart with more of her future-nostalgic sounds.

It's a showcase of mostly long-running hits this week, none more so than AJ Tracey, who changes things up by performing the remix this time round.

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.

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.

Top of the Pops, 4th July 2019

It might be American Independence Day but here on TOTP it's possibly the biggest week ever for UK rap. There are chart entries for Jay1 and Bugzy Malone, a longtime chart climber from AJ Tracey, and another super-strong new hit from the man of the moment Stormzy.

On the sung side of things, Becky Hill has a double bill and Mabel continues her impressive 2019, and the US flag is flown (alongside the Cuban and Canadian ones) by Camila Cabello. Ed is still at number 1 and he flies in three American collaborators this week.

Not content with a third week at number 1, King Ed Sheeran also has the highest new entry, so he brings along Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock, the other rapper, to perform it. Meanwhile Mark Ronson and Lykke Li finally break into the top 30 and 5 Seconds Of Summer crash the party once more.

Meduza and Kygo (with Rita Ora of course) are becoming regulars here, so they both give us slightly different exclusive versions of their evergreen hits.

Top of the Pops, 16th May 2019

2019's biggest discoveries continue to go from strength to strength: Lewis Capaldi has the highest new entry while his previous megahit is still in the top ten, and Billie Eilish performs two of her itchy, witchy anthems.

Second week at number 1

Top of the Pops, 7th June 2018

J Balvin has two hits this week, but he can't come on the show so Liam Payne and indeed Cardi B and Bad Bunny have to perform their hits without him.

There's a surprising TOTP debut from ASAP Rocky, and twosies from friend of the show George Ezra and every teen's favourite red piller, Shawn Mendes.

Debuts: ASAP Rocky

Liam Payne - Familiar

Top of the Pops, 24th May 2018

There's lots of chart movement this week, with the Arctic Monkeys, Years and Years and Rita Ora (plus girlfriends) all landing new tracks in the top 40. Meanwhile Liam Payne's hispanified track and EO's German bring a pan-European flavour, and flying the US flag, everyone's favourite men's rights activist Shawn Mendes shoots to a new peak.

Calvin and Dua are still at number 1. This week they do a version with a lot of violins in it.

Debuts: None.

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.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 20th July 2017

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. Otherwise we're DJ-heavy, with Rudimental, Harris, Sigala and Major Lazer all showing up alongside their various featured singers. Despacito still at the top.

Debuts: None.

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 18th May 2017

It's common to see credited producers doing well in the chart these days, and this week three make it on to the show: Martin Solveig, Martin Jensen and Jonas Blue. The trio each stand around moodily while their vocalists perform the songs, and then celebrate by teaming up on an exclusive housed-up version of Lady Gaga's The Cure (they take a chorus each).

We also have pop, rap, whatever Niall Horan is and the sound of the summer, reggaeton. Yes, Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi (for it is they) have taken their Spanish-language hit to the very top, though it's largely thanks to the anglophone presence of Justin Bieber, who's good enough to come into the studio and help out on the remix in person.

Debuts:

Martin Solveig ft. Ina Wroldsen - Places

Up 4 to number 32

Niall Horan - Slow Hands

Highest New Entry - In at number 25

Top of the Pops, 4th May 2017

Friends of the show super team-up Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson have had one of the more compelling climbs to number 1 of recent years, so it's great to welcome them into the studio once again for a triumphant performance, backed up by (most of) a full orchestra. Other familiar faces in attendance include Little Mix (but with the added bonus of Machine Gun Kelly inserting his rap), Rag 'n' Bone Man and Jason Derulo (plus Nicki Minaj again - wow!)

There's also plenty of new stuff again, from Luis Fonsi, French Montana and red pill hero Shawn Mendes. And ZAYN swings by for a compelling stripped-back performance of Still Got Time.

Debuts: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, Swae Lee.

Top of the Pops, 3rd November 2016

A lean week for chart climbers means that three of our featured acts come from outside the top 40, but that's no bad thing as we get to enjoy the cult hit of the moment from Kideko and friends, newcomer Andy Grammer, and Britain's foremost light entertainer Olly Murs.

Elsewhere we have current TOTP stalwart Dua Lipa, friend of the show Zara Larsson, and a two-song medley from problematic fave Shawn Mendes. Sean Paul is unavailable this week (a first for him?) so the lusty shouting role on the returning Clean Bandit's track is filled by dancehall legend Sweetie Irie.

Debuts: Kideko, George Kwali, Nadia Rose, Sweetie Irie, Andy Grammer.

Top of the Pops, 20th October 2016

It's another laugh riot as one man fun machine James Arthur celebrates his third week at number 1 by not only performing a skanked-up version of Say You Won't Let Go, but also guesting with Dua Lipa on an exclusive version of Blow Your Mind (Mwah). Not that the joint isn't already jumping after the return of Bruno Mars and a beautiful solo run-through of former number 1 Closer by Halsey.

Friends of the show Clean Bandit are back as well, and Hailee Steinfeld continues to climb the chart as Emeli Sande rebounds.

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 15th September 2016

The Chainsmokers hold on at the top, heading up an almost motionless top ten. One of the few climbers in the upper reaches is Shawn Mendes, who dodges the feminist picket line to perform his dubiously reasoned track once again.

The big news, though, is that Lil Wayne's track from Suicide Squad is still inching up the chart and as if in answer to MRA Mendes, Weezy has invited an all-female posse for a super-charged TOTP exclusive. Hold on to your hats.

Debuts: Offaiah.
