Join Fearne Cotton and Clara Amfo in the Top of the Pops studio for a show stuffed to the brim with the biggest tracks and artists of the year. If that weren't enough, we are also sharing the last number one of 2017.\n\nKicking off the celebrations with an Irish jig, Ed Sheeran performs Galway Girl from the best-selling album of the year, and Anne-Marie, who last year topped the New Year charts with Clean Bandit, performs her hit Heavy. Joined by pals Bastille, Craig David brings us I Know You, a taste of his much-anticipated forthcoming seventh album.\n\nFollowing on from a huge world tour and their first number one album, we have The Vamps, bringing the screams to the studio with Personal. South London rapper Yungen performs his Top 10 hit Bestie alongside one of the BBC's Sound of 2018 longlist Yxng Bane.\n\nDua Lipa returns after a year of tours with superstars Bruno Mars and Coldplay, and a number one hit, to perform her classic Be the One, and Rita Ora performs her catchy earworm Anywhere. Sigala and pop star Ella Eyre pair up to perform Came Here for Love.\n\nKeeping the party going, Australian singer-songwriter Starley joins the celebration with her breakthrough smash Call on Me. Former BBC Sound of 2016 longlister and 2017 Brits Critics Choice Nominee Mabel performs her Top 10 hit Finders Keepers with East End rapper Kojo Funds. And Paloma Faith makes a welcome return to the Top of the Pops studio with her anthemic ballad Guilty from her first number one album The Architect.\n\nIt has been an amazing year in music - join us in amongst the fireworks, chinking glasses and dancing as we relive the great music of 2017 and welcome in the new year.
