Top of the Pops, 30th May 2024

It's a Billie Eilish week this week. Although she doesn't quite do enough to knock Sabrina Carpenter off the top (yet), she dominates the top ten with three hits from her new album, two of which are performed on the show. Also doubling up is Natasha Bedingfield, both of whose resurrected bangers are climing the chart this week.

There are also new tracks from Gunna and Tems, and reprises from NewEra and Hozier, plus a tribute to Amy Winehouse to fit in with the new film about her.

Top of the Pops, 9th November 2023

It's a bit of a crazy week, with the combined entries of Taylor Swift (in the studio in person this week with her new old song at number 1) and various Halloween favourites pushing everything else down and making climbers few and far between. That means a second performance for mid-level hits from big names Doja Cat and Drake, and surprise showcases for Tems and K A D. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, Wheatus are back! They get Doja Cat to do the girl bit on their song.
