Top of the Pops, 27th February 2025

Here's one of the more remarkable climbs to number 1: Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us makes it all the way in its 25th week on the chart. Kendrick celebrates with a raucus performance, and also invites SZA for a touching reprise of All The Stars. It's his week, but his buddy Drake is also here with his own new top 20 entry.

Elsewhere there's a fun new duet from AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith, last year's empress Sabrina Carpenter with her newest track plus an oldie, and a rousing show-opener from Sam Fender.

Some nice climbs this week: friend of the show The Weeknd entering the top ten, Doechii and Chappell Roan entering the top 20, and the banger from Aitch and Bou scraping into the top 40. Grammy winner Charli XCX is here too, and Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss also returns to the chart.

PRESENTER: Ange Postecoglou

Top of the Pops, 6th February 2025

Wow. After a lot of reprises so far this year, this week's show has almost a full house of new entries! That means British rap from Central Cee and Aitch, US rap from Travis Scott and Sexxy Red, pop from Tate McRae, dance from BL3SS, and even a bit of good old rock from Sam Fender. Nice selection, British public!

The only repeat performer is the still-fresh-feeling Lola Young, who makes it a fortnight at the top.

Second week at number 1

PRESENTER: Heidi Range

Top of the Pops, 30th January 2025

Just like that, after a slow start, the 2025 chart picture explodes into colour. There's a richly deserved new number 1 from Lola Young, a big new entry for Central Cee, and exciting chart climbers from Doechii and Sam Barber. Plus a double header from international megastar Bad Bunny.

Sam Fender is also coming back up the chart, though his singles success doesn't yet match the size of his media profile or the live crowds he plays to. There's still a bit of 2024 continuity as well, from two of the artists of last year, Gracie Abrams and Teddy Swims.

Debuts: Sam Barber, Avery Anna, Doechii

Sam Barber ft. Avery Anna - Indigo

PRESENTER: JB Gill

Top of the Pops, 23rd January 2025

In a lot of cases the big hits of 2025 are still the big hits of 2024: Pawsa and Chrystal are back again and Gracie Abrams is still on top. But there is a new one from Hozier, following up his number 1 hit from last year, and a newish one from Alex Warren, and a surprising appearance of Imogen Heap to keep things fresh.

Debuts: Imogen Heap

Hozier - Do I Wanna Know

Up 1 to number 5

Eighth week at number 1

PRESENTER: Millie Bobby Brown

Top of the Pops, 16th January 2025

In contrast to last week, chart climbers are few and far between. That means that apart from the still uncatchable Gracie Abrams, only one top ten song is featured: the resurgent Jimin.

Instead there's an interesting selection from lower down, including two songs from the SZA album, friends of the show The Weeknd and Ariana Grande, and even a surprise From The Vault appearance from the venerable Sam Smith.

Debuts: None

Jimin - Who

High Climber - Up 60 to number 4

Ariana Grande - Popular
