Top of the Pops, 22nd October 2020

It's pop week on Top of the Pops, as a precipitous fall by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion allows other songs that had been holding steady to all move up a bit, meaning that almost the entire top ten gets featured on the show. That means Paul Woolford, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Derulo and another new high for Tate McRae, plus a huge posse cut medley from Headie One and his compadres.

Lower down the chart Sam Smith makes further inroads, while we're played out by another medley as friends of the show Clean Bandit join 24KGoldn for an exclusive reimagining of his two current hits.

Debuts: None.

Up 2 to number 6

Top of the Pops, 25th June 2020

This week's exciting new hit is from Jason Derulo and his buddy Jawsh 685. Other than that the chart continues to move slowly: there are returning performances from RAYE, 220 Kid, Young T and Bugsey, and Ava Max, who seems permanently stuck in the 20s and 30s. Oh, D-Block Europe have a new one.

What will blow your mind, though, is a special one-off exclusive collaboration between DaBaby, Roddy Ricch and dirgetastic chart legends Nickelback, who mix their respective "Rockstar" hits together to create something truly unforgettable.

Debuts: Jawsh 685

RAYE - Secrets

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2020

We're still ground to a halt near the top of the chart, so most of the interest is lower down, including a couple of rare invitees from outside the top 40. Not that that means a drop in star power: BTS are a pretty big name after all.

The exception is Eminem (with beyond-the-grave support from Juice WRLD) who crashes in at the top spot. Still got it.

Debuts: None

Young T and Bugsey ft Headie One - Don't Rush

Up 1 to number 31

Top of the Pops, 19th December 2019

With one week to go, the contenders for Christmas number 1 are manoeuvring into position, spearheaded by the mighty Stormzy and then Dua Lipa. Although it all presupposes that it's even possible to dislodge Tones & I, who is inching up the all-time list of long-running number 1s.

Also in the festive spirit (ie wearing Santa hats) are Leona Lewis, Lewis Capaldi and the highest new entrant Harry Styles. And britrap, the genre of 2019, is not forgotten thanks to Young T and Bugsey (as well as Stormzy of course).

Debuts: None

Leona Lewis - One More Sleep

High Climber - Up 14 to number 29

Harry Styles - Adore You

Highest New Entry - In at number 11

PRESENTERS: Mollie King dressed as Mary, Rylan dressed as Joseph and Matt Edmondson dressed as Baby Jesus

Top of the Pops, 28th November 2019

As we hurtle towards December, there are new entries from three big names: chart leviathan Lewis Capaldi, tousled enigma Harry Styles (who performs his longer runner Lights Up as well) and biggest of all, Miss 2019 Billie Eilish, who continues to make it look very easy.

There's also a special party performance from Lizzo with help from Tones & I, a debut appearance from Endor, and some rather off-putting racket from Blackbear.

Debuts: Endor

Up 7 to number 29

Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted

Top of the Pops, 10th October 2019

There are a lot of familiar faces on the show this week - Sam Smith, chart mastodon Lewis Capaldi, Post Malone, friend of the show Aitch - but one thing we did NOT expect was the number 1. Tones & I leaps like Katarina Johnson-Thompson to take the top spot, so maximum credit to her.

Top of the Pops, 19th September 2019

What a year it's been for new friend of the show Aitch. He performs two strong new entries this week, as well as returning to guest on the Young T and Bugsey track. The mighty Stormzy also does double duty, bringing us solo sounds as well as reprising his turn on Take Me Back To London, still at the top.

We've also got energetic chart breakthroughs from Tones & I and Regard, another big new entry from Post Malone, and a second appearance for the reflective sounds of Dermot Kennedy.

Debuts: Tones & I, Ziezie, Tyreezy, Regard

Top of the Pops, 29th August 2019

It's a showcase of mostly long-running hits this week, none more so than AJ Tracey, who changes things up by performing the remix this time round. New material comes from Tracey's samplee Jorja Smith, who brings along Burna Boy to perform our highest new entry. And Shawn Mendes is back to give us the standard version of his duet with Camila Cabello.

Sixth week at number 1

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 25th July 2019

As the summer of britrap rolls on, this time it's Dave and Young T and Bugsey who are heading back up the charts, alongside a new entry from Krept and Konan. It's great that all these MCs are happy to support the show, rubbing shoulders with (and often outcharting) the likes of Camila Cabello and Justin Bieber, who guests with Billie Eilish this week.

One week off the top was enough for King Ed Sheeran, though, so now he's back at the top with the next song in the queue, the fairly lovely Beautiful People, alongside fellow friend of the show Khalid.

Debuts: None

Young T and Bugsey ft. Aitch - Strike A Pose

Up 2 to number 19

Billie Eilish ft. Justin Bieber - Bad Guy

Ed Sheeran ft. Khalid - Beautiful People

Up 2 to number 1

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 11th July 2019

There's a lot of polite shuffling about in the chart this week, which gives us the opportunity to showcase a few hits that have been bubbling under for a while: Dominic Fike, Camila Cabello and Martin Garrix are the beneficiaries.

The Glastonbury effect has been pretty muted this year but the Killers are back in the chart. The summer of britrap continues with an entry from Young T and Bugsey, plus last week's debutant Aitch making it two weeks on TOTP in a row, and the biggest chart movement comes from King Ed Sheeran, whose Beautiful People (aided by friend of the show Khalid) joins I Don't Care (this week co-performed by Lewis Capaldi) in the top five.

Debuts: Dominic Fike, Patrick Stump (without Fall Out Boy)

Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

Up 6 to number 20

Ed Sheeran ft. Khalid - Beautiful People

Up 1 to number 5

Ed Sheeran ft. Lewis Capaldi - I Don't Care

Eighth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 18th October 2018

It's always impressive when a collaboration between more than about three artistes gets them all to turn out on the TOTP stage. This week we have two examples - from Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Willy William, and Fredo, Young T and Bugsey - so A+ for effort to them. Fredo actually manages two appearances on his TOTP debut, including the number 1 single alongside Dave.

We're also strong in the singing department, thanks to Rita Ora, Becky Hill and Halsey, and the serious star power comes from Eminem, who's been on a few times lately.

Debuts: Fredo, Young T, Bugsey, Lil Baby, Gunna

Jason Derulo vs David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj and Willy William - Goodbye

Up 8 to number 26

MK and Jonas Blue ft. Becky Hill - Back & Forth
