BBC One aired Top of the Pops Christmas 2021 on December 25, 2021.
The annual Top of the Pops Christmas Day edition featured the hottest stars and biggest songs of the last 12 months, presented by Radio 1's Clara Amfo and Jordan North.
The program featured performances from Anne-Marie, Mimi Webb and Tom Grennan.
Anne-Marie performed “Kiss My (Uh Oh)”, which was released featuring Little Mix back in July from her sophomore album “Therapy”.
Anne-Marie said of the song via Apple Music, “Little Mix and I have been wanting to collaborate for so long. When this song came up, I sent it to Leigh-Anne [Pinnock]. Little Mix made it a hundred times better. It felt good to collaborate with girls, because for some reason, I tend to collaborate with boys. For me, this is song is about realising that someone isn't treating you right and plucking up the courage to walk away. It samples Lumidee's 'Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)', which is the complete opposite meaning. But I just love that song. It was popping off in Essex when I was younger.”- Mimi Webb performed “Good Without”, which was released in March from her debut EP “Seven Shades of Heartbreak”.
Mimi Webb said of the song via Apple Music, “The song that really kicked it all off for me: a really sassy self-love song. It's the 'I know what I'm worth, I know what I deserve, and if you are not everything I need, I'm happy to be without' track. It was the first song I wrote this year, and I think I knew it would be a game-changer for me. I was so inspired over Christmas, so going into the new year I had a big manifestation board and I really wanted to write a big smash that makes people feel powerful.”
Tom Grennan performed “Little Bit of Love”, which was released from his sophomore album “Evering Road” in March.
Tom Grennan said of the song via Apple Music, “Through a breakup you always have, 'Am I making the wrong decision? Do I need this person [for me] to recover? Do I just need to bottle it up again and try and change while being in this relationship?' It's all about that, and realising that I've actually lost [the relationship]. At the end, it has that feeling of the sadness, in the strings. It's like, 'Oh no, I have lost it—but I probably have made the right decision.' It's when you breathe and just go let it all out.” - source : BBC One
