Brat summer has definitely arrived! Charli XCX makes an Olympic pole vault to number 1, with a little help from Billie Eilish. She and Chappell Roan help friend of the show Benson Boone out with a fun reimagining of Beautiful Things as well.

With a lot of foot-shuffling in the middle of the chart, a few lower-down tracks can be featured: the new tracks from Sonny Fodera and Hanumakind, a joyful reprise from Coldplay, and a double header from bright young thing Gracie Abrams.

Top of the Pops, 8th February 2024

Given their ubiquity just lately it would be a bit of a shock if the Last Dinner Party weren't on Top of the Pops - but here they are to open the show. Just pipping them as a high climber, though, is YG Marley, so he could be one to watch.

Megan Thee Stallion completes a trio of new entries, complementing some of the bigger hits from last year from Casso, Tate McRae and Sonny Fodera which take their 2023 momentum into a second month. But once again the week belongs to Noah Kahan, though the story of the year so far Teddy Swims is gaining on him.

Immovable at the top just now, Noah Kahan also has this week's highest new entry, so Sam Fender joins him in a double bill to close the show. Just before that Sophie Ellis-Bextor celebrates her continued resurgence with a special contemporary update of Murder On The Dancefloor.

There's also a debut for Songer, a return for friend of the show Becky Hill, and a slightly rum collaboration from The Weeknd. And were it not for Bextor, Natasha Bedingfield would be attracting quite a lot of attention for her own triumphant comeback - can she breach the top ten?
