Top of the Pops, 23rd November 2023

Huge new entry this week for friend of the show Dua Lipa, but not quite as huge as Jack Harlow, who pips her to the top spot fair and square. It's a strong week for new hits, with Steflon Don, Pinkpantheress, Stray Kids and even Mazza L20 all bringing their fresh vibes to the studio. Continuity comes from Mitski and the still climbing Noah Kahan, who performs a new album track to go along with Stick Season.

Top of the Pops, 16th November 2023

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.

Top of the Pops, 9th November 2023

It's a bit of a crazy week, with the combined entries of Taylor Swift (in the studio in person this week with her new old song at number 1) and various Halloween favourites pushing everything else down and making climbers few and far between. That means a second performance for mid-level hits from big names Doja Cat and Drake, and surprise showcases for Tems and K A D. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, Wheatus are back! They get Doja Cat to do the girl bit on their song.

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, 19th October 2023

With the exception of a new smash from top-tier megastar Drake, this is one of the more left-field Top of the Pops editions in recent memory, with an assortment of up-and-comers, bubbler-unders and surprise hits. That includes Kenya Grace, who deservedly makes the final hop up to number 1, as well as breakthroughs from Noah Kahan and Suicidal-Idol.
