Top of the Pops, 29th January 2015

An unusually static chart means that TOTP has space for some long-runners as well as some gems from lower down the countdown than usual. Inevitably this means two corners of the Sheeran/Ezra/Smith triangle - there hasn't been a show without at least one of them since November - but it also means Ariana Grande and the Weeknd, who have been in the lower reaches for a few weeks, plus a couple of minutes of the Weeknd's solo offering - a bonanza of vaguely pervy RnB.

Meghan Trainor's second single is a storming success and the lady herself is in the country to perform it. We welcome back old favourites Sigma/Paloma and Vance Joy, and there's also a welcome suprise visit from Maroon 5. Ronson and Mars remain at the top, and after last week's studio appearance we make do with the video this time.

In a busy week for new entries we get drop-bys from the ever-energetic Union J, the intriguingly named Wankelmut and the irreproachable Taylor Swift among others. On the other side of things there are long running tunes from Vance Joy (performed this time mainly on tambourines) and friend of the show Ed Sheeran. Boremaster deluxe Sam Smith is in the building too, but the top of the chart belongs to David Guetta.

Top of the Pops, 24th July 2014

At one end of the scale we have new entries from Ella Eyre, Kove, Nicole Scherzinger and our impressive number one from Rixton. At the other, Bastille celebrate well over a year in the chart as Pompeii makes another micro-climb down in the lower reaches.

Friends of the show Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne are also back, no doubt benefiting from the new chart rules on streaming. And it would barely be TOTP these days without an Ed Sheeran appearance - this time it's Thinking Out Loud.

This week's big name is Katy Perry, here with Juicy J as Dark Horse gets a second wind and canters up to the top ten after seven weeks on the chart - a dark horse indeed. At the other end of the star spectrum is "DJ Stay The Night" with a pre-emptive cover of a not-yet-released song by Zedd; the collective of shadowy studio goons make the most of their week on the telly. Friends of the show OneRepublic give us a two-hit medley, and Clean Bandit are still at the top of the pile, grinning like the Cheshire cats they are.

PRESENTER: Kimberley Walsh

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2014

The middle of the chart is quiet this week, so we have some big new entries from the top and some (for now) lower-charting new songs from the outer reaches. Vance Joy returns to reprise 'Riptide' by candlelight and there are precocious turns from Neon Jungle and the Vamps (with a two-song medley), but the evening belongs to a triumphant Clean Bandit, looking indeed like there's no place they'd rather be.

Neon Jungle - Braveheart

In at number 4

Tinie Tempah & Labrinth - Lover Not A Fighter

Up 9 to number 18

Half Moon Run - Full Circle

In at number 60

Top of the Pops, 16th January 2014

A couple of rare treats this week. First Beyonce jets in to bring us (most of) not one but two tracks from her barricade-storming new album. Second, the Gaga/Aguilera diva double both appear to sing the revamped version of Do What U Want which is currently giving the track a second wind. Elsewhere there is a high banger concentration; Pharrell isn't here in person so we enjoy the video for Happy.

Beyonce - Drunk in Love / XO

Up 17 to number 10 / In at number 45
