Top of the Pops, 27th May 2021

The bookers dip way down the chart this week, featuring rare outside-the-top-40 hits from Nicki Minaj and (gasp) Elton John, and there's also room for new face Bella Poarch. More regular guests include friends of the show Little Mix and Dua Lipa, plus Tion Wayne and Russ Millions in their third week at number 1.

But the chart excitement comes from four new entries: three from J Cole, plus a retinue of guest stars, and a follow-up from Olivia Rodrigo that almost matches the incredible peak of her first hit.
