Two big new entries from ex-X Factor actors give this show a strong pop showing that's offset by dance from Showtek and Ben Pearce (third time on, this time with Halloween-suited dancers). Drake's busy, but Majid Jordan gives a special, spine-tingling solo rendition of their long-running joint hit. And Robin Thicke does a two-song medley before we go from crass to class and welcome Lorde for her first appearance, first single and first number one.

One of the more surprising leaps to number 1 of recent years brings a celebratory performance from a grinning OneRepublic. Elsewhere, we have a good mix of borderline novelty rap, dance and singy-guitary things, plus a rescreening of an Oasis behemoth from back in the day (resurrected by some X Factor audition, I'd bet).
