"On top of that" is an expression which means "also" or "in addition to." You can use it when you want to add emphasis when you are introducing a new, significant addition to a list. Ex: On top of it raining, I got splashed by a car on the way to work. Ex: I hurt my foot and on top of that, I got stung by a bee!
