Top of the Pops, 18th April 2019

Lewis Capaldi reaches a fairly elite seven weeks at the top of the chart, so he appears once again, this time with a two-song medley. As does friend of the show Khalid, the surprisingly reliable hitmaker also doing double duty.

There's a hugely impressive new entry from bright young thing Billie Eilish this week, which is only kept off number 1 by the Lewis Capaldi chart juggernaut. Westlife continue their robust 2019 with a new hit, and also join Panic At The Disco on backing vox for an exclusive version of High Hopes.

Top of the Pops, 4th April 2019

It's mostly a week of consolidation on the chart, so there's room on the show for long-running hits from NSG, Pink, Troye Sivan and Ariana Grande, plus Wiley's hugely enjoyable all-star collab.

Top of the Pops, 28th March 2019

Singersongwritermania continues to grip the UK: Tom Walker charges to a new chart peak, Lewis Capaldi still has the best seller, and George Ezra has now been on the chart for an entire year with Shotgun.

But other genres are well-represented: RnB from Khalid, fun pop from the Jonas Brothers, pop masquerading as indie masquerading as dance from Marshmello and Chvrches, and rap from friend of the show A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

Top of the Pops, 21st March 2019

The man of the moment is Dave, who has three new entries in the top 11 and performs all of them in a six minute rap party. Also bringing the posse is Wiley, who has Sean Paul, Idris Elba and Stefflon Don all present for the remix of Boasty.

Lewis Capaldi shows no sign of leaving the number 1 spot, and also looking very long-lived are Panic At The Disco, still in the top 40 after well over six months.

Top of the Pops, 14th March 2019

It's another great week for heartfelt singer-songwriters: Tom Walker is able to perform a two-song medley of chart climbers, and Lewis Capaldi not only makes it two weeks at the top but also sees most of his other songs climb the chart in the wake of Someone You Loved. And do the Jonas Brothers count? They have the highest new entry.

In other news, friends of the show Little Mix at last manage to get on to perform Think About Us after six weeks climbing the chart, and their rent-a-rapper Ty Dolla $ign has another hit to perform as well. Mabel's chart run shows no sign of flagging - wonder if she'll make number 1 at some point? And would you believe Chip is making his TOTP debut, after at least one name change and ten years of being one of Britain's worst rappers.

Debuts: Jonas Brothers (as a duo), Kehlani, Roddy Ricch, Chip

Jonas Brothers - Sucker

Highest New Entry - In at number 6

Top of the Pops, 7th March 2019

Not many would have predicted it last year, but Lewis Capaldi is the man to break Ariana Grande's grip on the top: Someone You Loved completes its slow build with a two-place final jump.
