Top of the Pops, 16th April 2026

There's a zesty mix of old and new this week: refamiliarising the audience with Alex Warren's behemoth, Bruno Mars's cheeky groove and friend of the show Zara Larsson's continuing career renaissance; but also showcasing a fresh Harry Styles track, a new one from Anotr and an impressive chart charge from Ella Langley.

There are also two full-bodied solo performances of songs released as duets: Dave without Tems, and Olivia Dean with the inevitable Olivia-only exclusive of Rein Me In, which is still on top.

Top of the Pops, 29th January 2026

A lot of fallers in the top 40 means that it's one of those weeks when the TOTP producers get to explore the lower reaches a bit. They find the evergreen People Watching from the hugely popular Sam Fender, a longtime bubbler-under from Addison Rae, and the first appearance in a long while from ASAP Rocky.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are going back up the chart for whatever reason, as are the Cure, who get the From The Vault slot. There are strong new showings from Gunna and friend of the show Zara Larsson, while Dave (with Tems of course) gets a richly deserved, or even somewhat belated, number 1 hit.

Top of the Pops, 22nd January 2026

Toes are tapping this week to the huge new entry from Bruno Mars, though he can't get especially close to Djo at the top, who appears with a double bill this week. Sienna Spiro makes it two TOTPs in a row as her secondary hit You Stole The Show is climbing, as does Zara Larsson, who performs this week alongside Pinkpantheress.

There are 2025 reprises from Sonny Fodera, Kehlani and EsDeeKid, while more new material comes from Zach Bryan.

Top of the Pops, 15th January 2026

The new year is getting off to a pretty interesting start here. We've got the least predictable number 1 hit for some time, from Djo, and another surprise top ten re-entry from Zara Larsson. There's also new material from international K-poppers KATSEYE and debutant James Marriott.

Haven, Sienna Spiro and of course Olivia Dean reprise their big songs from last year, while in a chart that contains quite a few oldies, Prince takes the From The Vault slot.

PRESENTER: James Masterton

Top of the Pops, 18th December 2025

We've found three non-Christmas hits to open the show with this week: Zara Larsson is randomly back in the chart, Olivia Dean cannot be defeated even by Santa, and Sonny Fodera is doing remarkably well, though still barged out of the top 50.

After that it's wall-to-wall tinsel, with a new one from Gwen Stefani, another four-oldie round-up, a modern classic from Leona Lewis and even an appearance from King Ed Sheeran. Wham! process imperiously to the top spot, as is their right.

Debuts: None

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.

Kenya Grace makes it three weeks at number 1, with the nearest featured competition being Noah Kahan's welcome surprise of a hit, just on the fringe of the top ten. Lower down Bastille are back in the chart for some reason, Olivia Rodrigo resurrects Vampire, and Kid Laroi has the highest new entry.

Top of the Pops, 11th May 2023

It's a big week for Nines, who appears with two new tracks, guest stars in tow - and his hit Tony Soprano from last week is riding high as well. More fresh sounds come from Tyler the Creator, while at the other end of the scale are Glass Animals whose phenomenon of a track has now spent well over two years on the chart.

Friend of the show Zara Larsson is welcomed back, we remember Carlos Santana for some reason, and Calvin and Ellie make it four at the top.

PRESENTER: Alison Hammond

Top of the Pops, 13th April 2023

In a slightly surprising development, Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding leap up to replace Ed Sheeran at the top after only a week! Elsewhere on the chart a few fallers from near the top mean that some long-running hits get to shuffle up a bit - not least Harry Styles who celebrates a year on the hit parade with a special steel drum-assisted performance.

We're also able to give a first exposure to some hits that have been quietly climbing for a while now, so welcome Tom Grennan, Meghan Trainor, Nathan Dawe and friend of the show Zara Larsson. Mimi Webb also gives us a special extra-dubby version of Red Flags.

Two earth-shaking entries rock the top five: Taylor Swift returning alongside Brendon Urie, and the mighty Stormzy knocking Lil Nas X off the chart pinnacle.

There's also Rita Ora featuring on a Kygo track, friend of the show Zara Larsson, and two and a half minutes of birdsong from the RSPB, so that's enjoyable.

Top of the Pops, 11th January 2018

Happy New Year! It's the crazy post-Christmas chart where literally every single song is a climber, which combined with the lack of a regular show last week means that the entire top 7 is eligible to be featured. How many of them could you guess? You'd probably get Ed Sheeran, Eminem and Rita Ora, but MK and Big Shaq provide a couple of curveballs.

Lots of climbers also means lots of acts with multiple hits, so Clean Bandit give us an all star best of 2017 medley, and Camila Cabello drops a bit of her new single in alongside the evergreen Havana. The one new hit comes from Keala Settle, with her show-stopper from the film The Greatest Showman.

Debuts: Keala Settle.

MK - 17

Top of the Pops, 4th May 2017

Friends of the show super team-up Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson have had one of the more compelling climbs to number 1 of recent years, so it's great to welcome them into the studio once again for a triumphant performance, backed up by (most of) a full orchestra. Other familiar faces in attendance include Little Mix (but with the added bonus of Machine Gun Kelly inserting his rap), Rag 'n' Bone Man and Jason Derulo (plus Nicki Minaj again - wow!)

There's also plenty of new stuff again, from Luis Fonsi, French Montana and red pill hero Shawn Mendes. And ZAYN swings by for a compelling stripped-back performance of Still Got Time.
