Top of the Pops, 4th December 2025

The rising Christmas tide can be ignored no longer, so this week's show features a round-up or montage of popular Christmas oldies, evergreen as a Norwegian pine. That's not the only chart story of the week, though: the latest Wicked film brings friend of the show Ariana Grande and her BFF Cynthia Erivo, and there are exciting entries for Tate McRae and Stray Kids.

EsDeeKid continues his breakout year, and RAYE almost climbs to the top, but not quite - Taylor holds firm with her Shakespearean musings.

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.

Top of the Pops, 9th October 2025

All change in the chart this week: the K-Poppers are unseated at the top by none other than the woman of the year Olivia Dean - richly deserved. There are also big new entries from Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and Doja Cat, and RAYE has a full band reprise of the song that made her, Escapism.

On the male side of things there's a new one from Myles Smith and a debut appearance for Tkandz and CXSPER.

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!

Just solo artists this week: there's the unshiftable Alex Warren at the top, friend of the show Benson Boone a bit lower down, and new chart peaks for Ravyn Lenae, Skye Newman (with two songs to perform) and Lola Young.

Top of the Pops, 5th June 2025

The good times continue to roll for Alex Warren: not only does he make it to eleven weeks at number 1, he also has the highest new entry with another song! Chappell Roan bobs back up to number 2 again but you feel it will take something more to dislodge Mr Warren.

Lower down the top 40 King Ed Sheeran continues his low-key album campaign, and there are some interesting debuts and another hit for 2025's most likely lad, Myles Smith. Between MGK and Alex Warren's collaborator Jelly Roll, it's a good week for unhealthy looking Americans. Tate McRae is on the show again also, battling her way into the public consciousness by force of will.

Debuts: Max Dean, Luke Dean, Locky, Jelly Roll.

Ed Sheeran - Old Phone

Up 1 to number 26

Top of the Pops, 29th May 2025

It's Eurovision week, which means not only the valiant Remember Monday but also Estonia's Tommy Cash scraping into the top 40. Remember Monday also guest with Alex Warren as his weirdly long run at number 1 extends into double figures.

In non-Euro news we have the very American pairing of Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae on the show, plus new entries from Skye Newman and Lola Young and another new peak for the five-year-old Charli XCX track.

PRESENTER: Jayne Middlemiss

Top of the Pops, 22nd May 2025

Some quietly impressive chart climbs this week: Sombr's secondary hit reaches a new peak, and number 1 resident Alex Warren is now just one place short of having two top ten hits at once. Lusty-lunged Benson Boone and Tate McRae are also making progress.

The highest new entry this week comes from Calvin Harris, while Florence and MOLIY also supply dance bangers. And Drake is still hanging about.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 24th April 2025

Alex Warren is still fairly uncontested at the top, but there's a notable chart achievement from Sombr, whose multiple tracks on the chart permit a fourth consecutive showing from the new artiste.

Aside from that we have a couple of climbers, a debut and a big re-entry, and a real curiosity in the shape of Jack Black's very short song from the Minecraft film: he makes the most of his screen time with an outlandish costume and a confetti cannon.

Debuts: Ely Oaks

Tate McRae - Sports Car

 

Up 1 to number 5

Top of the Pops, 3rd April 2025

After spending most of last year stuck at number 2, Chappell Roan finally makes it to number 1! Congratulations to her.

And commendations also to Olivia Dean, who takes her Bridget Jones tune into the top 40, rapper-of-the-moment Doechii, and enduring chart occupier Benson Boone who enters with his newest track.

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.

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.

Top of the Pops, 28th November 2024

A few Christmas favourites are starting to encroach into the chart, but Top of the Pops is holding its festive horses for now. Instead the show is able to feature a bonanza of new entries, from Jin, Linkin Park, Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and most impressively Sam Fender's triumphant re-emergence at number 4.

Elsewhere there are strong showings for tracks from the recent albums by Tyler the Creator and Linkin Park, an oddball 80s reswizzling by PAWSA, and Gracie Abrams continuing her dream autumn at number 1.

PRESENTER: Radzi Chinyanganya

Top of the Pops, 7th November 2024

Incredible scenes this week as the number 1 single is... not Sabrina Carpenter! Instead it's Gigi Perez, capping off one of the more impressive chart climbs of the year with (at least) a week at the very top. Sabrina is not to be defeated completely though, as newer hit Bed Chem is looming ominously in the lower reaches of the top ten.

Other big news includes a big new entry from Lady Gaga, and the release of Tyler the Creator's album, sampled here with two choice tracks. Addison Rae doubles up as well, adding new hit Aquamarine to the still-climbing Diet Pepsi.

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.

Your big name of the week is Justin Timberlake, whose decadely return to the world of pop places him at number 29 this week.

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.

Top of the Pops, 11th January 2024

It's the post-Christmas chart, which means that everyone is going UP, which means a high-quality show where everyone is in the top ten - a true rundown of what's popular right now. That means a lot of the strongest tracks from the second half of last year, but also Sophie Ellis Bextor riding the Saltburn wave, who takes the TOTP stage for the first time in a long time and shows the rest how it's done.

Other than that, Tate McRae has a big moment with two top 20 singles, and Noah Kahan finally takes the top spot after a few patient weeks waiting for Wham! to clear out of the way.

Debuts: None

Dua Lipa - Houdini

It's quite a week for the big pop name: Taylor is here with two tracks, Tate McRae keeps the chart positions high with her follow-up to Greedy, friend of the show Olivia Rodrigo is here again and even Doja Cat is back to open up for us.
