Not only does Top of the Pops come back for Christmas but it comes back for New Year as well. You can watch it on the iPlayer if you missed it, here's what happened:
George Ezra - Paradise
There was no way they weren't going to have him on the Christmas episode and its seems the same goes for new year. This time we get the song that finished 8th in the countdown as opposed to the one that finished 3rd.
Jess Glynne - Thursday
Looks like having Jess Glynne twice at Christmas wasn't enough, here she is for the third time with yet another dreary song. Apparently she's supporting the Spice Girls next year which is apparently something to celebrate.
Jonas Blue ft Jack & Jack - Rise
Are they just getting the acts from Christmas to play a second song? It's the king of collaborations again living up to his name by getting both Jack and Jack to turn up.
Tom Grennan - Found What I've Been Looking For
Someone new on at last who I've never heard of. He's singing a song that reached number 95 in the charts.
Now we have a load of waffle about musical films from the year, then Calvin Harris and his collaborations with Dua Lipa and Sam Smith, then K Pop and finally some dance craze.
Mabel - Fine Line
It's Neneh Cherry's daughter. Nobody is playing an instrument on this so they have dancers on the stage instead.
Jax Jones ft Years & Years - Play
Why do they wait until a minute into the song before they tell you what it is on screen? Both of these acts were on the Christmas episode. Apparently when a multiplatinum selling group collaborate with a superstar DJ is inevitably going to be great. It only made number 50 in the charts though.
Lewis Capaldi - Grace
He's got a bright 2019 ahead of him according to the presenters. He's had more streams than the number of people who live in Scotland but it's the third song on the show so far not to make the Top 40, this made number 48. Hardly Top of the Pops is it?
Sigrid - Sucker Punch
Ok now we have a song that never made the charts at all. She was on the Christmas episode which is probably the only reason we're hearing this song.
Time for more waffle, talking about festivals then how "3 Lions" topped the charts during the World Cup, the new Radio 1 breakfast show DJ Greg James and new Radio 2 breakfast show DJ Zoe Ball, artists who died this year, Stormzy and Kylie Minogue playing at Glastonbury next year, the return of the Spice Girls, Robbie Williams Las Vegas residence and artists with new albums coming out in 2019.
Tom Odell ft Rae Morris - Half As Good As You
This is getting ridiculous now, another song that never made the charts, over half the songs featured so far haven't made the Top 40. Is probably the best song so far though even if it is a little dull.
Clean Bandit ft Marina - Baby
Another act who were on the Christmas show, but at least this made the Top 40. They've got Marina to turn up but not Luis Fonsi and those 2 random singers in place of Demi Lovato at Christmas are back.
Christine & the Queens - Girlfriend
This made number 85 so another non Top 40 song. The presenters were full of praise for Christie & the Queens, I think they were taking the piss.
Rudimental, Jess Glynne & Dan Caplen - These Days
Ok this is just lazy, this very song was on the Christmas episode and now marks the fourth appearance of Jess Glynne. What happened to the rule that only the number one can appear on consecutive episodes? Is there really nothing else they could have played?
Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho
Finally they put what the song is on the screen at the start of the song, but the presenters never said who it was. This is the current number one and it's a video.
