Christmas 2017
Fearne Cotton and Clara Amfo present Top of the Pops Christmas as it returns for a special Yuletide edition featuring the hottest and biggest stars from across the year and, as is tradition, wrap up the show with the Christmas number one of 2017.\n\nMultimillion-selling artist and Man of the Year, Suffolk's very own Ed Sheeran, makes a welcome return to the TOTP Christmas studio to perform Shape of You, the first single to come from his 25-million-selling album Divide and officially the biggest song of 2017. \n\nClean Bandit are a hit-making machine and the unique place where classical music meets house music. They bring their number one smash Symphony to the TOTP Christmas party.\n\nPop's hottest property and fans' favourite Dua Lipa performs her first number one single and huge summer smash New Rules. \n\nThis year has been the year that Rita Ora made a welcome return to pop music after her sorties into acting and TV presenting. Rita performs the Ed Sheeran-penned Top 10 hit Your Song.\n\nLast year, JP Cooper performed in the TOTP New Year studio alongside Jonas Blue. This year he returns to perform in his own right with one of the biggest songs of the year, his September Song. \n\nMulti-instrumentalist and classically trained musician Jax Jones performs his massive hit You Don't Know Me with vocalist and one-time Sound of 2016 nominee Raye. \n\nIrish trio The Script scored yet another number one album this year with Freedom Child, and we have a little taste of it with their single Rain.\n\nEssex songwriter and DJ Jonas Blue returns to the TOTP Christmas studio with vocalist William Singe, and former X Factor winner and original comeback kid James Arthur performs his new single Naked.\n\nAnne-Marie finished off 2016 in the TOTP Christmas studio, fronting one of the biggest songs of that year as lead vocalist on Clean Bandit's phenomenal Rockabye. She returns this year to perform her hugely catchy tune Ciao Adios. \n\nAnd finally grime superstar Stormzy makes his TOTP Christmas debut with guest vocalist MNEK to perform Blinded By Your Grace Part 2 from his Mercury Prize-nominated album Gang, Signs and Prayer.
