Top of the Pops, 23rd October 2025

It's fair to say that the charts are female-dominated at the moment, but it's rare for every song on Top of the Pops to be female-led. It's no bad thing, though - especially this week when there are exciting new hits for Jisoo and especially Sienna Spiro, plus returning heavyweights RAYE and Sabrina Carpenter.

Tinashe finally appears with an exclusive solo version of No Broke Boys, and there's an equally special double showing from Olivia Dean, who has three songs in the top ten just now. But they're not as high up as the three songs of Taylor Swift - the week belongs to her once again.

Top of the Pops, 18th September 2025

Top of the Pops this week is quite the parade of global megastars: Rihanna, Gaga, Sabrina, Calvin, Justin Bieber... and the popstar of the year so far Olivia Dean doesn't seem out of place in that company.

Top of the Pops, 14th August 2025

Chappell Roan comes out of nowhere to curtail the K-Pop Demon Hunters' stay at number 1 after a single week - but they are back anyway with their secondary top ten hit Soda Pop. Also showing good chart stamina are Rossi, Disco Lines (plus low-key superstar Tinashe) and the duetters of the moment Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. 

The summer of Oasis continues in the From The Vault slot, as their fan favourite Slide Away actually makes the top 40 for the first time.

Top of the Pops, 24th July 2025

Not for the first time this year there are two K-pop acts on the show, with BlackPink joining the Demon Hunters in the top 20. The biggest new entry of the week, though, is the ever-reliable Justin Bieber.

Top of the Pops, 3rd July 2025

It's a pretty ravey edition of Top of the Pops this week, with Disco Lines (with Tinashe in person to rock the crowd!), MK, Jazzy, Fred Again and even Pinkpantheress bringing club sounds to the TOTP stage. Way up the other end of the scale is Olivia Dean and Sam Fender's charming throwback duet.

The Black Eyed Peas are in the From The Vault slot, and Sabrina Carpenter celebrates popping back up to number 1 with an exclusive performance featuring Sir Elton.

Top of the Pops, 16th February 2017

Stormzy is the highest new entry this week, so he brings an intense performance to the TOTP stage, in a double-header with previous generation MC Tinie Tempah. There are also new hits from Snakehips and Train, and an unusual brass-led version of Human from Rag 'N' Bone Man.

Ed Sheeran is still at the top (and almost-top) of the chart, and this week he combines both hits into an exclusive medley for us despite their clashing styles.

Debuts: Train

Tinie Tempah ft. Tinashe - Text From Your Ex

Up 10 to number 24

Stormzy - Big For Your Boots

Highest New Entry - In at number 8

Train - Play That Song

High Climber - Up 22 to number 25

Up 10 to number 29

Rag 'N' Bone Man - Human

Up 2 to number 5

Sage The Gemini - Now And Later

Up 4 to number 17

Dua Lipa - Be The One

Up 1 to number 10

Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You / Castle On The Hill

Fifth weeks at numbers 1 and 2

PRESENTER: Jessie J

Top of the Pops, 2nd February 2017

No change at the top of the chart, so King Ed keeps court once more with Shape Of You. Not a lot of love for Castle On The Hill just now, but who really cares.

The rest of the line-up is pretty vibrant, with girlbands M.O. and Little Mix, dance banger-makers Starley and Jax Jones, and a nice change of pace from James Arthur's Sheeran homage as well. Tinie Tempah and Tinashe make a splash with a fun, sexy performance and the show is arguably stolen by a rollercoaster of a medley from Dua Lipa.

Debuts: None.

Jax Jones ft. Raye - You Don't Know Me

Up 1 to number 3

Tinie Tempah ft. Tinashe - Text From Your Ex

Highest New Entry - In at number 35

James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go

Up 2 to number 12

Little Mix - Touch

Up 2 to number 4

Starley - Call On Me

Up 1 to number 6

M.O. - Not In Love

Up 19 to number 42

Dua Lipa - No Lie / Be The One

Up 10 to number 11 / High Climber - Up 33 to number 21

Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 7th April 2016

The exclusive collaborations keep coming: this week Craig David adds some smooth vocals to Fifth Harmony's Work From Home, continuing his jaw-dropping resurgence. Snakehips' appearance this week is something special too: a percussion only version of their anthemic track.

We also have re-appearances from longtime absentees Meghan Trainor and the Chainsmokers (of #SELFIE fame). And Mike Posner makes it three weeks ruling all he surveys.

Debuts: Rozes.

Third week at number 1

PRESENTER: Miquita Oliver

Top of the Pops, 28th January 2016

There's a certain deja vu about this week's Top of the Pops, as several chart climbers from two weeks ago have continued to rise and thereby bagged themselves another appearance. However there's plenty new as well, including a ferocious performance from Stormzy and a pair of exclusive medleys from Britain's two leading female (or any gender really) singers of the moment, Adele and Jess Glynne.

Shawn Mendes finally rises to number 1, knocking Bieber off the top at least for the moment, and the highest new entry comes from those likely lads the 1975.

Debuts: None.

Adele - Hello / All I Ask

Up 1 to number 7 / In at number 41

The 1975 - The Sound

Highest New Entry - In at number 15

Major Lazer ft. Nyla - Light It Up

Up 3 to number 10

Stormzy - Shut Up

Up 3 to number 19

Snakehips ft. Tinashe and Chance The Rapper - All My Friends

Up 3 to number 8

99 Souls - Girl Is Mine

Up 4 to number 5

Jess Glynne - Take Me Home / Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

Up 4 to number 24 / Up 4 to number 33

Shawn Mendes - Stitches

Up 1 to number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 14th January 2016

After teasing us for a couple of months, Justin Bieber conquers a chart summit that many thought might never be reached: numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the chart at the same time. He duly appears with a combined performance of all three (bending the TOTP appearance rules a little as it is a historic occasion). Elsewhere, as often, the January chart is a bit of a shuffle-about. Years & Years get their chance to shine, as do various other dance-minded people.

A bit more star power: Brandy is in the building to supply live vocals for 99 Souls' track, so she gamely helps out Sigala with their Jackson 5 sample too. It's a bit of a moment. Chart impact comes from the debuting Snakehips, and a memorial Motorhead chart entry for the recently departed Lemmy.

Debuts: Snakehips, Tinashe, Chance The Rapper.

Years & Years - Eyes Shut / King / Shine

Up 5 to number 17 / Up 13 to number 59 / Up 14 to number 60

Sigala ft. Bryn Christopher and Brandy - Sweet Lovin' / Easy Love

Up 1 to number 8 / Up 3 to number 42

Snakehips ft. Tinashe and Chance The Rapper - All My Friends

High Climber - Up 31 to number 27

Major Lazer ft. Nyla - Light It Up

Up 28 to number 21

99 Souls ft. Brandy - Girl Is Mine

Up 5 to number 10

From The Vault: Motorhead - Ace Of Spades

Back in at number 13

Sigma ft. Rita Ora - Coming Home

Up 3 to number 18

Justin Bieber - Love Yourself / Sorry / What Do You Mean

Fourth week at number 1 / Non-mover at number 2 / Up 1 to number 3
