Top of the Pops, 18th August 2022

Wall-to-wall bangers this week. As well as LF System clocking up the magic six weeks at number 1, there's booty-shaking-oriented content from Joel Corry and Queen Becky Hill, Eliza Rose, Sigala and James Hype. Even George Ezra gives it a little shimmy towards the end of his song.

Top of the Pops, 30th June 2022

Big new entries from Drake and to a lesser extent Beyonce have pushed most of the other songs down the chart, so we have to delve a long way to find performers - but we strike gold with fresh tracks from Doja Cat and a triumphantly returning Chase and Status.

It's pretty dance-heavy this week even apart from Beyonce's bandwagon jump: Sigala reach a new peak with their latest hit and LF System inch their way into the top three. Tom Grennan will please fans of more singer-songwriterly material.

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, 5th August 2021

Dave's album is out this week, so there's an exclusive performance of two tracks from him, with Stormzy in tow as well. Speaking of longtime friends of the show, can you believe it's well over a year since Rita Ora was on? And there's a super team-up by Anne-Marie and Little Mix.

From the US come Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Camila Cabello. There's a debut appearance for Rain Radio, and King Ed Sheeran remains on his throne, looking down on the rest of the chart below him.

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.

We've also got a couple of exclusives, as Dermot Kennedy invites Meduza to zazz up Giants in a medley with their collaborative hit, and friends of the show Little Mix provide a gorgeous harmonized backing for Justin Bieber as well as performing their own double bill.

Top of the Pops, 29th October 2020

It's all about the Internet Money crew this week, as Gunna and co become one of the more unexpected number 1s of the year in their tenth week on the chart. Wes Nelson and Hardy Caprio seem to be in the middle of a similar climb - will they be next?

We've also got reappearances from Joel Corry and MNEK and Dermot Kennedy, and a new entry from Digga D. International megastars BTS also join a high-quality line-up, and James Arthur mixes in a little bit of his solo hit with the Sigala track.

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.

24KGoldn and Iann Dior are unmoveable at the top. Sigala and James Arthur are also back.

Debuts: Wes Nelson.

Top of the Pops, 1st October 2020

24KGolden and Iann Dior take the fateful final step and find themselves at the top of the chart this week, displacing Megan and Cardi. The biggest new entry comes from Justin Bieber, and he has competition in the megastar stakes from the international sensations BTS.

More downbeatly, we've also got another posthumous hit from Pop Smoke, who's been having big hits the whole time but can hardly be featured week in week out. Sam Smith has a big new entry with low-key banger Diamonds, and Jason Derulo and Sigala are at least adequate ways to round out the show.

Debuts: Lil TJay

BTS - Dynamite

Up 2 to number 19

Justin Bieber ft. Chance The Rapper - Holy

Top of the Pops, 17th September 2021

The big hitters of the moment are still clustered in the top five: Headie One and friends, 24KGolden and of course the wicked sisters Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. Lower down there are some strong climbs from Conan Gray and Tate McRae, and Jason Derulo occupies consecutive places at 11 and 12 so it's medley time for him.

Highest new entry this week is from Sigala and James Arthur, and DJ Khaled and Drake make their second appearance in a few weeks with a massive 50 place jump.

Debuts: None.

Sigala ft. James Arthur - Lasting Lover

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Daryl Denham

Top of the Pops, 13th August 2020

As the wave of Taylor Swift that hit last week subsides, most other tracks bob back up a few places. For Top of the Pops, that means we get a high class week with several top ten tracks featured, including long-running hits from Regard and RAYE, AJ Tracey and the dashing Chris Brown. The Harry Styles track even scales a new peak, once again, after six months on the list. Is it impossible that it could eventually make number one?

We've got chart breakers from Miss 2019 Billie Eilish and Bewdley's own Becky Hill, and the infectiously delighted Joel Corry and MNEK make it three weeks at the top.

Debuts: None

Becky Hill vs Sigala - Heaven On My Mind

Up 6 to number 17

Third week at number 1

PRESENTERS: Rose Elinor Dougall and Gwenno Saunders

Top of the Pops, 23rd July 2020

It's quite a quiet chart week this week, though there is interest in the shape of new hits from Halsey (and in memory of Juice WRLD), D-Block Europe and Bewdley's own Becky Hill. We also have classy returning performances from Ava Max and RAYE, and a second look at that new TikTok-type version of Dancing In The Moonlight.

Jason Derulo racks up a third week at number one, this time performing an acoustic version of Savage Love without young Jawsh for a bit of variety.

Debuts: None

Ava Max - Kings and Queens

Up 1 to number 21

Top of the Pops, 25th July 2019

As the summer of britrap rolls on, this time it's Dave and Young T and Bugsey who are heading back up the charts, alongside a new entry from Krept and Konan. It's great that all these MCs are happy to support the show, rubbing shoulders with (and often outcharting) the likes of Camila Cabello and Justin Bieber, who guests with Billie Eilish this week.

One week off the top was enough for King Ed Sheeran, though, so now he's back at the top with the next song in the queue, the fairly lovely Beautiful People, alongside fellow friend of the show Khalid.

Debuts: None

Young T and Bugsey ft. Aitch - Strike A Pose

Up 2 to number 19

Ed Sheeran ft. Khalid - Beautiful People

Up 2 to number 1

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 13th June 2019

It's a most peculiar chart this week: a completely static top twelve, then several impressive new entries, and some nice climbers all together after that. The biggest beneficiary is of course King Ed Sheeran; this week he invites friend of the show Jess Glynne to fill in for Bieber in a nice exclusive.

We're also delighted to welcome back Katy Perry, and there's a nice britrap contingent as well as the latest relationship wreckage anthem from Lewis Capaldi.

Debuts: None

Top of the Pops, 22nd November 2018

It's a big week for Dave and Fredo: Funky Friday is climbing the top ten again, Fredo has another hit to perform, and Dave fills in for French Montana rapping on the Sigala track.

We also have chartbreakers from Cheryl and Charli XCX, and an exclusive solo performance of Goodbye from Jason Derulo. Ariana Grande holds firm at the top, but we get the video because she can't make it into the studio this week.

Debuts: Troye Sivan

Top of the Pops, 25th October 2018

Friends of the show Little Mix are back, assisted by Nicki Minaj this time. The multicollaborations seem endless at the moment: here's DJ Snake backing up two fairly big-name vocalists plus debutant Osuna, while even without French Montana the Sigala track is pretty much a party.

Slowing the pace, we have the new one from Jess Glynne and a two-song medley from the movie hit of the autumn A Star Is Born.

Debuts: Ozuna, Kodak Black

Top of the Pops, 11th October 2018

Some incredible star power on TOTP this week. The highest new entry is from LADY GAGA and her Star Is Born co-star, and we also have top US names Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar and friend of the show Khalid.

After a few weeks climbing, Sigala finally gets high enough to get a TOTP invitation, and he manages to corral all his co-artistes to appear with him. Meanwhile George Ezra's Shotgun somehow floats back into the top ten, so he makes a triumphant appearance and also helps out Calvin Harris by filling in for Sam Smith in a unique performance.

Debuts: Bradley Cooper

Sigala ft. Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor and French Montana - Just Got Paid

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 17th May 2018

This week we have a lot of long runners and a couple of big new hits, from Childish Gambino (his first ever appearance on the show) and friend of the show Jess Glynne. Straddling the two categories is First Time by M-22 and Medina, which pops up to number 17 to get a TOTP debut in its ninth week on the chart.

This week's TOTP exclusive comes from Khalid, who gives us a medley of new hit Youth and old fave Love Lies. Calvin and Dua hold firm at number 1, making it a month on top.

Debuts: Childish Gambino, Medina, M-22.

Fourth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Duffy

Top of the Pops, 29th March 2018

The highest new entry this week is a novelty single: Lil Dicky and the dashing Chris Brown turn TOTP Thursday into Freaky Friday. Also making chart inroads are XXXtentacion, Khalid and Normani (of Fifth Harmony, or possibly ex-Fifth Harmony), and the indestructible Sigala.

We have a couple of special exclusives, too. Florida Georgia Line are back with a solo rendition of Let Me Go, their Hailee Steinfeld co-credit, and Maren Morris leaves the DJs at home to bring us an acoustic version of The Middle.

PS If you're wondering where Rudimental have got to, the problem is that they've been a non-mover for weeks and weeks, stuck behind Drake. Apart from the number 1 we only feature chart climbers, so they haven't been on much. Sorry, hat guy, but those are the rules.

Debuts: Lil Dicky.

Florida Georgia Line - Let Me Go

Top of the Pops, 15th March 2018

Half of this week's TOTP is a sampler of most of the biggest hits of the moment: Portugal The Man, Jax Jones, Justin Timberlake, and needless to say, Drake. But there are also exciting new hits from Zedd, Paloma Faith and TOTP debutant XXXtentacion. The oddball is Stormzy's Blinded By Your Grace from before Christmas, which provides a nice break from the madness.

Debuts: Maren Morris, Grey, XXXtentacion.
