Top of the Pops, 5th October 2023

There's another strong showing for dance music this week: Sonny Fodera, MK, Peggy Gou and Chase & Status are all climbing the chart once more with tracks that have entertained us since midsummer. Chase & Status go all out this week with a double track performance and guest appearances from some true jungle legends.

There's also UK rap from Nines, US rap from Gunna, rock from Blink 182 and impassioned singing from Tom Odell. Doja Cat gives us an extra something from the album as she celebrates a month at the top of the chart.

It's quite a moment this week as none other than the Rolling Stones are welcomed back to the Top of the Pops studio after decades away. More familiar faces (to younger viewers) are Leigh-Anne with a respectable second solo hit, BTS's V making his solo debut, and the chart queen of the moment Olivia Rodrigo. None of them can knock Doja Cat off the top, though, and she has another outlandish red-themed performance to delight the viewers.

It's a Barbie switchover at the top of the chart, as friend of the show Dua Lipa replaces Billie Eilish in the number 1 position. A strong challenge comes from Doja Cat, who storms into the top 5.

There are newly featured songs from Luke Combs and Issey Cross, repeat showings from Troye Sivan and Stormzy and RAYE, and a bizarre mashup from Anne-Marie and Shania Twain as they keep breaking off from their country song to do bits of the Haddaway homage Don't Hurt Me.
