This list of performances on Top of the Pops is a chronological account of popular songs performed by recording artists and musical ensembles on Top of the Pops, a weekly BBC One television programme that featured artists from the UK Singles Chart.
- The Rolling Stones – The Last Time. The Stones were the show’s debut act, singing their cover of The Beatles’ “I Wanna Be Your Man.” But, like so many of the old BBC shows, that’s been lost forever.
- Manfred Mann – The Mighty Quinn. Vintage Mike d’Abo-era Mann (with Klaus Voormann on flute) is a thing of wonder. It’s also the first time that ordinary mortals got to hear what was then an unreleased track from Bob Dylan’s “Basement Tapes” recordings.

- John Lennon – Instant Karma! You can’t see The Beatles on Top Of The Pops (the Beeb erased the tapes!) but Lennon’s song sold a million in 1970 and raced The Fabs’ own “Let It Be” up the charts.
