Top of the Pops, 26th September 2024

She might seem destined never to be number 1, but she's still lighting up Top Of The Pops: Chappell Roan is back up to number 2 with Good Luck Babe, while Pink Pony Club also joins the top 30. Also back climbing the chart are Chase & Status with Stormzy, as well as Jade, and Gracie Abrams reaches a new chart peak.

In brat news this week, another Charli XCX remix takes her onto the TOTP stage, this time featuring Troye Sivan. Friend of the show The Weeknd has the highest new entry and Sabrina Carpenter's residency at number 1 rolls on.

Top of the Pops, 29th August 2024

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are the biggest news this week, dropping in seemingly out of nowhere with a top ten smash. Post Malone's album is out as well, so he performs a triple bill sampler of its three rootin' tootin' hits.

Elsewhere there are new chart peaks for Sonny Fodera and Hanumakind, a flying visit from Taylor Swift, and a rousing debut from Gigi Perez. Chase and Status are still cracking heads at the top.

Top of the Pops, 22nd August 2024

After a summer of Sabrina stability, and a week of Charli, there's more upheaval at the top of the chart as Chase and Status and Stormzy smash into the number 1 spot. It's a pretty dance-heavy week all around in fact, with Adam Port, BL3SS, the Blessed Madonna and the lord of the floor Calvin Harris (again with princess Ellie Goulding) all appearing. The other Madonna, Madonna, is also featured in the from the vault slot.

But despite all that, the show is possibly stolen by a resurgent Jade, performing the slow, angelic, dramatic version of Angel Of My Dreams with piano and orchestra.

Debuts: None

Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding - Free

Up 3 to number 35

Jade - Angel Of My Dreams

Up 8 to number 10

Top of the Pops, 2nd May 2024

In a week with such a high profile new release, it was inevitable that the number 1 spot would of course be taken by the world-shaking cultural icon Post Malone - and of course Taylor Swift, on whose song he is kindly invited to guest.

Elsewhere the influx of Swift has pushed most other songs down a few places, so we have to look a fair way down the chart for other climbers. That's good news for Shaboozey and Lay Bankz, and even Pozer down at number 41. Also of note is the new entry from Headie One and Stormzy - with a perhaps surprisingly low-key chart position for such a big-name team-up, but of course they bring the energy to the TOTP studio.

Debuts: Lay Bankz, Shaboozey

Pozer - Malicious Intentions

In at number 41

Drake - Push Ups

In at number 14

Bryson Tiller - Whatever She Wants

Up 2 to number 22

Top of the Pops, 31st August 2023

It's a Barbie switchover at the top of the chart, as friend of the show Dua Lipa replaces Billie Eilish in the number 1 position. A strong challenge comes from Doja Cat, who storms into the top 5.

There are newly featured songs from Luke Combs and Issey Cross, repeat showings from Troye Sivan and Stormzy and RAYE, and a bizarre mashup from Anne-Marie and Shania Twain as they keep breaking off from their country song to do bits of the Haddaway homage Don't Hurt Me.

Debuts: Luke Combs, Oliver Anthony Music

Troye Sivan - Rush

Top of the Pops, 3rd August 2023

More Barbie! This week it's the turn of Charli XCX, plus the OG Barbie girls Aqua in the From The Vault slot with a classic performance. Another theme of the summer has been ripping off/homaging Robert Miles, kept up this time by Bou and Slay. And another theme has been Dave and Central Cee at the top of the charts, which shows no sign of being discontinued.

Going international, we've got Travis Scott and Bad Bunny, as well as Noah Kahn and the New York resident ZAYN. Stormzy and RAYE's superstar team-up is the highest new entry.

Eighth week at number 1

PRESENTERS: Drew McIntyre and Sheamus

Top of the Pops, 6th July 2023

It's a strong rap week this week: not only are Dave and Central Cee immovable at the top, but the chart is crashed by Stormzy, Fredo and Gunna as well. Playboi Carti is also here alongside the Weeknd, though there's no Madonna this week unfortunately. Shania Twain more than makes up for it.

Guns 'N' Roses get enough Glastonbury bounce to make it into the From The Vault slot, Stephen Sanchez is back, and Ella Henderson gives us a lovely acoustic medley of her two current banger-style hits.

PRESENTER: Radzi Chinyanganya

Top of the Pops, 9th March 2023

It's a varied selection this week, as chart fluctuations mean that several tracks from the lower half of the top 40 are featured. That means debut appearances for Caity Baser, Ayra Starr and Superstar Pride, a return to the show for Freya Ridings, and a reprise of Hide & Seek from Stormzy. Star power comes from a huge team-up by friends of the show Ariana Grande and The Weeknd, while Miley Cyrus makes it lucky seven weeks on top.

Top of the Pops, 19th January 2023

Lewis Capaldi makes an athletic leap up to number 1 this week in quite a changeable chart. Miguel, Stephen Sanchez, Skrillex and Metro Boomin' all have TOTP premieres for their new hits, and Eminem is back in the top 40 for some reason.

Top of the Pops, 8th December 2022

As Christmas draws nearer, the show starts to split into two halves. In the current music section there's another new song from Stormzy, plus catch-ups with the big hits from Meghan Trainor and Venbee and Goddard. Then in the festive fun part of the show we've got the soidisant Mr Christmas Michael Buble and a fresher offering from friend of the show Lizzo, as well as the old reliable from Wham!

Taylor Swift soars swanlike, unruffled above the fray.

Top of the Pops, 24th November 2022

The show is bristling with exclusives and one-off performances this week. No less names than Stormzy and Taylor Swift (with Lana Del Rey along for the ride) both perform two-track showcases of their recent albums, while Aitch and Anne-Marie stick around after doing their own song to join David Guetta and breathe new life into his Blue reimagining, UK style.

To add to that, there are chartbreakers from Bugzy Malone and Tiesto, and warm welcomes back for the tracks of the moment from Oliver Tree and Dermot Kennedy.

Top of the Pops, 27th October 2022

There's a mini-return for rock and rock-adjacent music this week, with both Blink 182 and the 1975 hitting higher up the chart than they have for a while. Also firmly canonical these days is Stormzy, who has the highest new entry.

The rest of the show brings you more rap from Central Cee and Lil Baby, a dance banger from Southstar, good old balladry from Lewis Capaldi, and at the top of the chart, Smith and Petras with their scarier-than-Gaga spook sound - perfect for Halloween.

There's strong African representation this week, from Rema and the main man Burna Boy. The latter also guests with D-Block Europe as they premier their latest triumphant trio of tracks.

Top of the Pops, 14th October 2021

This week there are two acts making their debuts: Arz and Oliver Tree. The resurgent Glass Animals hit yet another new high, while Central Cee (with samplee Pinkpantheress guesting in person this week) also climbs more or less as high as you can without being in the Ed Sheeran tier.

Uptempo fun is provided by Joel, Jax, Charli and Saweetie, and look - Billie Eilish is back with her Bond theme now that the film has finally come out.

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.

Debuts: Rain Radio, DJ Craig Gorman

PRESENTER: Lucy Bronze

Top of the Pops, 22nd July 2021

Things really are getting football crazy now. After the Lightning Seeds and Fat Les last week, footy fever now propels Atomic Kitten and Neil Diamond into the top 20. That makes up a quarter of an unusually fresh line-up, with only the Jonasu song and of course Ed Sheeran at number 1 having been featured already this year.

It's perhaps surprising that it's taken until July for Stormzy to make his first 2021 appearance. He's one of a trio of huge names who return to the show this week, alongside Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish. Arguably BTS as well.

Debuts: None

BTS - Permission To Dance

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 22nd October 2020

It's pop week on Top of the Pops, as a precipitous fall by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion allows other songs that had been holding steady to all move up a bit, meaning that almost the entire top ten gets featured on the show. That means Paul Woolford, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Derulo and another new high for Tate McRae, plus a huge posse cut medley from Headie One and his compadres.

Lower down the chart Sam Smith makes further inroads, while we're played out by another medley as friends of the show Clean Bandit join 24KGoldn for an exclusive reimagining of his two current hits.

Debuts: None.

Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

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.

Top of the Pops, 3rd September 2020

Huge entry from BTS this week, just pipping the Britrap triumvirate of Stormzy, Headie One and AJ Tracey for highest new entry honours. There are some impressive chart leaps too from 24KGoldn and Abra Cadabra, as well as Conan Gray.

Congratulations also to Tate McRae, who sneaks on to the show for the first time after a few weeks in the chart's lower reaches. MNEK gives us a fun solo performance of his six-weeker to end the show.

PRESENTER: Jurgen Klopp

Top of the Pops, 30th July 2020

This week is all about the feelgood hit of the summer from Joel Corry and MNEK, which skips up the final two places to give both performers a well deserved first number 1. They even breathe an infectious vivacity into the now terribly familiar TOTP Zoom team-up.

There are other chart stories here, though, notably from Drake, who has a ton of songs on the top 40 and performs three of them here. AJ Tracey and Harry Styles both scale new peaks this week, Sam Fischer is on the rise once again, and there's a slightly unexpected appearance from Digga D.
