Top of the Pops, 7th July 2022

Kate Bush is still at the top of the hill, though she's yet to be tempted into the studio: we have to make do with the video once again. There are a few long-running hits going back up the chart, from Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran and Becky Hill and Ella Henderson, while the ballad from Joji and the most recent offering from Future both get featured for a second time.

Top of the Pops, 9th June 2022

It's a big week for returns. Friend of the show Dua Lipa has been pretty quiet this year, but she appears here alongside Calvin Harris. But bigger than that, Lady Gaga is back on the show too! But bigger than that, Kate Bush is back in the chart! So we see one of her classic performances from the 80s.

It was also about time the Lizzo track got a second airing (and she sticks around to help out Jack Harlow), Tion Wayne and Benzz both reprise their recent hits, and Harry Styles is immovable at number 1.

Top of the Pops, 26th May 2022

If rock is over, nobody told My Chemical Romance, who open the show this week. There's also a pleasingly retro feel about our Eurovision-powered highest new entry from Sam Ryder. More contemporary sounds come from Post Malone, friends of the show D-Block Europe and Kendrick Lamar, and there's a welcome return for La Roux doing her cameo on the Tion Wayne track. Harry Styles dresses up as a hobbit for his seventh week at number 1.

Seventh week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 7th April 2022

It's one of those strange weeks where there isn't a lot of movement at the top of the chart, which means that the show is mainly populated by hits from the teens, 20s and 30s. That's no bad thing, though, since it gives recent hits from Russ Millions, Liilz and Becky Hill a second airing, and allows room to showcase the high climber from Potter Payper and the new one from Tate McRae.

The brightest star power comes from friend of the show Camila Cabello, who gives us a solo performance of Bam Bam and then sticks around to join in the lambada bits of the A1 and J1 song. Dave makes it a round four weeks at number 1.

Debuts: Potter Payper, Tiggs Da Author

PRESENTER: Miquita Oliver

Top of the Pops, 17th March 2022

Fully half of the show this week is new British rap smashes: A1 and J1, Russ Millions, Arrdee and especially Dave who teleports in at the very top to mean that finally, no one is talking about Bruno.

The rest of the show sees strong showing from female singer-songwriters: Mimi Webb reaching a new peak, plus newcomers Cat Burns and Em Beihold. Jax Jones and MNEK are also back to round out the line-up.

Debuts: Buni, YV, Em Beihold

Top of the Pops, 3rd March 2022

This week's big chart movers are D-Block Europe, Tion Wayne and especially Mimi Webb, who drops directly into the top ten - could she be another GAYLE?

We've also got the latest Jax Jones banger, which has been climbing the chart for a while, plus reprises from Lost Frequencies (another new peak this week), Fireboy DML and Lauren Spencer-Smith.

Top of the Pops, 2nd September 2021

What's better than nine weeks at number 1? King Ed Sheeran has the answer: nine weeks at number 1 AND the highest new entry. He performs both to close the show, but not before we all enjoy a rip-roaring line-up including friends of the show Clean Bandit, Joel Corry and Charli XCX, newcomer Clinton Kane and RnB MVP Doja Cat.

There are several new entries this week, including the queen of the 2020s Billie Eilish and a pair of British rappers, Arrdee and Tion Wayne. Man of the moment Tom Grennan is also here alongside Calvin Harris.

Chart continuity comes from friends of the show Little Mix, with an acoustic version of their Galantis-assisted hit, plus the year-plus chart run of Harry Styles, who this week performs the track on bongos and panpipes.

Top of the Pops, 27th May 2021

The bookers dip way down the chart this week, featuring rare outside-the-top-40 hits from Nicki Minaj and (gasp) Elton John, and there's also room for new face Bella Poarch. More regular guests include friends of the show Little Mix and Dua Lipa, plus Tion Wayne and Russ Millions in their third week at number 1.

But the chart excitement comes from four new entries: three from J Cole, plus a retinue of guest stars, and a follow-up from Olivia Rodrigo that almost matches the incredible peak of her first hit.

There are some big chart moves this week. Rag 'N' Bone Man and Pink pick this week to shoot into the top ten as they had always threatened, Kid Laroi leaps back up after six months on the chart, and the highest new entry is from friends of the show Coldplay.

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 13th May 2021

Tion Wayne and Russ Millions make a slightly unexpected leap to the top of the chart, so they are in rude form here. The biggest new entry is from 2020s pop legend Billie Eilish, but we also have chartbreakers from friends of the show Little Mix, the Weeknd suddenly diving for the top ten, and the Bad Boy Chiller Crew.

From lower down the chart there's a new one from Nathan Dawe and the delightful Anne-Marie, plus Mostack, and second showings for hits by Aurora and Tom Zanetti.

After some months of continuity at the top, Lil Nas X arrives out of nowhere. Other new entries come from Mimi Webb and Russ Millions and Tion Wayne, while we're also able to revisit longer-running hits from Cardi B, Navos, Glass Animals and Tom Grennan, who reaches an impressive new peak this week. There's a Boney M remix in the chart as well, so we dig the original out of the vault.

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.

After a single week of Gaga and Grande at the top, DaBaby is back at the top. That doesn't stop Gaga from smashing a couple of hits in lower down, though, including her (remote) collaboration with BlackPink.

Biggest new hit is from Tion Wayne and co, and the TikTok wonder from Surf Mesa is featured for the first time. And we welcome back RAYE, friend of the show Dua Lipa, and even international megastar Drake, who seems to be easier to get via Zoom than in normal times.

Top of the Pops, 4th June 2020

Most of the higher-up climbers this week are the same ones as last week, so we get to showcase some of the bubbler-unders - StaySolidRocky, 220 Kid, and the surprisingly seldom featured 1975.

There are surges from Harry Styles and KSI, but the big story is Gaga and Grande pelting into the top spot with their summer behemoth. They mesh pretty well in split screen.

Top of the Pops, 7th May 2020

In what is being billed as Radio 1's first ever number 1 hit, the Live Lounge Allstars leap four places to hit the top, all in aid of a good cause of course. The lockdown isolation vibe is carried on with downbeat solo performances from Powfu's samplee Beabadoobee and Joel Corry's collaborator Harlee, plus a Zoom chat version of the 1975.

There are also big hip hop entries (in video form) from KSI and the Scotts and dance from the 220 Kid, and Sam Fischer gets his TOTP debut at last after months in the lower reaches of the chart.

Who would have bet seven weeks ago that the track to depose Lewis Capaldi from number 1 would be performed by Billy Ray Cyrus? But that's what's happened, and the man himself is here alongside Little Nas X.

Not many would have predicted it last year, but Lewis Capaldi is the man to break Ariana Grande's grip on the top: Someone You Loved completes its slow build with a two-place final jump.
