Top of the Pops, 17th October 2019

Fear not, Ed Sheeran fans: the king only misses one week before coming back with the next song on his collabo conveyor belt, this time featuring Cardi B and friend of the show Camila Cabello. But Tones & I is holding on to the top spot for now, despite strong competition from Travis Scott.

Dave, Aitch and Jorja Smith provide yet another strong britrap/britrnb contingent, and we have three songs from Summer Walker, whose album has had a big impact slightly further down the chart.

Debuts: Summer Walker

Up 5 to number 20

Ed Sheeran ft. Camila Cabello and Cardi B - South Of The Border

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.

Post Malone - Circles

Up 3 to number 6

Lewis Capaldi - Bruises

Highest Re-Entry - In at number 11

Lil Tecca - Ransom

Top of the Pops, 3rd October 2019

After last week's chart mayhem, this TOTP is the complete opposite: every song in the top 5 gets to appear, and they're all tracks that have been around for quite some time. Crowning it all is King Ed Sheeran, still top of the chart, though he mixes it up a bit by mixing in a bit of Beautiful People, thanks to a cameo by friend of the show Khalid.

For a bit of variety we do have a triple bill from Burna Boy, who features on three chart climbers this week. He performs his bits of all of them, bringing along TOTP debutante Mahalia to help with the most obscure of the three.

Debuts: Mahalia

Sam Feldt ft. Rani - Post Malone

Up 2 to number 15

Burna Boy with Mahalia - Location / Be Honest / Simmer

Up 10 to number 39 / Up 2 to number 16 / Up 1 to number 53

Kygo ft. Kelli-Leigh - Higher Love

Up 1 to number 3

Aitch - Taste (Make It Shake)

Up 1 to number 2

Regard - Ride It

Up 6 to number 5

AJ Tracey - Ladbroke Grove

Up 1 to number 4

Tones & I - Dance Monkey

Up 7 to number 7

Ed Sheeran ft. Stormzy and Khalid - Take Me Back To London / Beautiful People

Fifth week at number 1 / Up 2 to number 25

PRESENTER: Dannii Minogue

Top of the Pops, 26th September 2019

It's been pretty slow-moving chart lately, but this week we have absolute fireworks. Not only does the Charlie's Angels theme crash in just short of the top spot (sadly only two of the pop triumvirate are here to perform it) but we also have chartbreakers from Stormzy, Normani, Dave, D-Block Europe and a resurgent Lil Nas X.

Most surprising of all must be a TOTP return for Ozzy Osbourne, alongside his good friend Post Malone. In a week of turmoil, the only certainty is that King Ed Sheeran still reigns at the top.

Debuts: None

Stormzy - Wiley Flow

In at number 37

Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus - Don't Call Me Angel

Highest New Entry - In at number 2

Lil Nas X - Panini

High Climber - Up 30 to number 23

Normani - Motivation

Up 2 to number 32

Dave - Professor X

In at number 24

D-Block Europe ft. Lil Baby - Nookie

In at number 16

Post Malone ft. Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott - Take What You Want

In at number 22

Ed Sheeran ft. Stormzy - Take Me Back To London

Fourth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Nihal

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

Tones & I - Dance Monkey

Third week at number 1

PRESENTERS: Heidi Range, Jade Ewen and Amelle Berrabah

Top of the Pops, 12th September 2019

Once again more than half the line-up this week is britrap and related music - 2019 has really been the year for it. Meanwhile Post Malone seems to have abandoned US-rap for the moment, dropping in at number 11 with a soft rock song instead.

In other genres, Rita Ora fronts Jonas Blue's dance ditty as it reaches a new high position, and chart behemoth Lewis Capaldi flies the flag for hoary balladeering.

Debuts: None

Aitch - Taste (Make It Shake)

Up 3 to number 3

Post Malone - Circles

Highest New Entry - In at number 11

Jorja Smith ft. Burna Boy - Be Honest

Up 1 to number 18

PRESENTERS: Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer

Top of the Pops, 5th September 2019

It must be Q4: Taylor Swift smashes into the chart with three tracks from her new album, the biggest of which she performs in person. King Ed Sheeran also takes a salmon-like leap up to the top spot.

New faces this week are Sam Feldt (well, newish) and Dermot Kennedy, while Lizzo follows up her debut a fortnight ago by performing two songs this week.
