Top of the Pops, 16th January 2025

In contrast to last week, chart climbers are few and far between. That means that apart from the still uncatchable Gracie Abrams, only one top ten song is featured: the resurgent Jimin.

Instead there's an interesting selection from lower down, including two songs from the SZA album, friends of the show The Weeknd and Ariana Grande, and even a surprise From The Vault appearance from the venerable Sam Smith.

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

Up 46 to number 6

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor

Back in at number 8

Casso ft. RAYE and D-Block Europe - Prada

Up 70 to number 3

Top of the Pops, 16th November 2023

After the deep cuts of last week, this week sees a lot of movement in the top ten, meaning that we catch up with long-running hits from Casso (a sweet candlelight version this week), Tyla and Tate McRae. International superstar Jung Kook is also resurgent, and Olivia Rodrigo hits the top 20 with yet another new track.

Longtime friend of the show Zara Larsson makes a welcome appearance, but of course the top spot is reserved for the Fab Four: Ringo appears in the studio to introduce a video montage.
