Top of the Pops, 22nd August 2013

After a couple of shuffle-around weeks we have a lot of new entries to show you. With room for an oldie or two as well.

The Wanted - We Own The Night

In at number 10 - The lovely lads are on their second TOTP appearance.

Ray Foxx ft Rachel K Collier - Boom Boom (Heartbeat)

In at number 12 - Not a Vengaboys cover, not a Steps cover, not a Vengaboys/Steps mashup. But a party.

Justin Timberlake - Take Back the Night

Up 3 to number 26 - Heeeeeeere's Justin!

Arctic Monkeys - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High

In at number 8 - Friends of the show the Arctic Monkeys have a fittingly high chart entry for their new single.

The Vaccines - Melody Calling

In at number 44 - Yup, two acts in a row where it's immediately clear where the music is coming from. Can the Vacs jump into the top 40 next week?

From the Vault: Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

Back in at number 70 - Amazing what you can dig up in the lower reaches of the chart. Here's a clip of Vanessa Carlton, who spearheaded the much-forgotten American female singer/songwriter wave of the early 2000s.

OneRepublic - Counting Stars

High Climber - Up 13 to number 30 - Look who's back! Not sure how this one goes, but assuming Ryan Tedder wrote it I'm guessing 'Counting Stars' is repeated over and over again.

Ellie Goulding - Burn

Straight in at number 1 - Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn: yes, it's another Ryan Tedder composition straight in at the top. Ellie is trotting the globe this week so we have to make do with the video, but she promises to come on if she's still at number 1 in seven days' time.

PRESENTER: Duffy
