Top of the Pops, 18th April 2024

Buoyed by the release of her album, Beyonce skips back up to number 1! She's in the studio this week performing the track of the moment once again, alongside her 21st century, non-weakness-admitting version of Jolene, which seems very her.

Also with a second hit is Benson Boone, one of several impressive chart climbs this week that also include the Blessed Madonna, Mark Ambor, Meghan Trainor and even Jungle. Rudimental are back as well, and Natasha Bedingfield pops up again as Unwritten's impressive second life continues.

Spring has sprung and we have a very fresh show this week with a ton of new entries - Future, Hozier and Olivia Rodrigo in the top ten, and NewEra and Artemas lower down. Even Benson Boone at the top of the chart is able to pair his track of the moment with a new offering.

Top of the Pops, 28th March 2024

It's quite a male line-up this week, with only Ava Max flying the female flag - even the first lady of country and western Beyonce has been knocked off the top spot in favour of Benson Boone and his questionable gender politics. Still, there are fairly storming performances from hoary growlers Teddy Swims and Rag 'N' Bone Man, and a more polished offering from V.

Noah Kahan makes a surprise return to the show, and the show is somewhat stolen by none other than Mark Knopfler and a stage full of six-string virtuosi.

Up 5 to number 14

Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes - Going Home

Heeeeere's some more new Ariana Grande, but she can't quite make it to the top and dislodge Beyonce, who is still here in a corn pone hat to recite the list of cliches from her country music mood board. Elsewhere it's a strong week for debuts - no fewer than four - and Billie Eilish, riding her Oscar recognition, brings us a special chamber orchestra version of What Was I Made For.
