Top of the Pops, 4th June 2015

Rare appearances ahoy. This week we have a rare appearance from Sia, a rare appearance from Usher, a rare transatlantic visit from Ariana Grande, and a rare appearance from mister number one, Jason Derulo. Lots of American (based) acts in the chart just now, so it's nice that they're happy to come over and perform for us.

Europe is well-represented too, by young Martin Garrix, Avicii and Mans Zelmerlow. Would you believe the only Brit on the show this week is Rita Ora? Or perhaps Parson James is British too, not sure.

Debuts: Charles Hamilton, Mans Zelmerlow.

Top of the Pops, 16th October 2014

Not so much studio time as usual this week. The Goo Goo Dolls (aka The Iris Singers) get a From the Vault slot, the BBC's new multi-artist VT gets an airing and Meghan Trainor is away trotting the globe, so her second week at number 1 is celebrated by playing the video.

Not to worry, though. Here in person we have a Nicki Minaj double-header (with a rare appearance from Usher), fellow RnB guy Jeremih and young guns Ella and LuvBug keeping the British end up as well.

Debuts: LuvBug, Talay Riley, Jeremih, YG.

Top of the Pops, 3rd July 2014

The Glastonbury effect will not be felt until next week, so here we mainly have a mix of dance, RnB and dance-RnB. Friends of the show Coldplay delight with a low-key acoustic reprise of A Sky Full Of Stars, and Ed Sheeran celebrates his number one album with a three-track medley. No idea why America are back climbing the chart, but congratulations to Oliver Heldens, and to Becky Hill on her first credited TOTP appearance.
