Top of the Pops, 12th January 2023

It's the weird post-Christmas chart where all the tinsel gets cleared out and the normal music floods back in to take its place. That means newish material from Central Cee and SZA, older 2022 bangers from Anne-Marie and Venbee and Goddard, and a very old, hoary and well-tested number from Tom Odell.

All the congratulations in the world to RAYE. It's been a long journey but here she is at the top.

Back in at number 11

Top of the Pops, 22nd December 2022

This close to Christmas, it's not that easy to find charting acts that are still extant. So thanks to Leona Lewis and Ariana Grande for dropping by for their annual festive performances. Earlier, it's a bit of a grime extravaganza as Headie One, Bugzy Malone and the Sidemen are clearly soundtracking their fair share of Christmas parties. And well done to SZA for three new entries this week, none of them obviously related to Christmas.

Wham! deservedly take over the holly-and-mistletoe crown from Mariah Carey.

Debuts: The Sidemen

SZA - Kill Bill / Nobody Gets Me

Highest New Entry - In at number 15 / In at number 27

Headie One - 50S

In at number 48

Bugzy Malone ft Teedee - Out Of Nowhere

Up 1 to number 27

Sidemen - Christmas Drillings

Up 17 to number 41

Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me

Up 2 to number 14

From The Vault: Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Leona Lewis - One More Sleep

Up 3 to number 31

Wham! - Last Christmas

Up 2 to number 1

PRESENTERS: Greg James dressed as Santa and Matt Edmondson dressed as an elf

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.
