Top of the Pops, 27th July 2017

Movement at the top this week as the inimitable DJ Khaled, aided by Rihanna and Bryson Tiller of course, floats up one more space and topples Despacito. Reggaeton is not completely neglected, though, as the Script are here with their Daddy Yankee-influenced comeback single.

Moving on, we have rock from Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran-penned songs that sound like Ed Sheeran from Rita Ora and Liam Payne, and a lovely acapella version of Power from Little Mix. Friend of the show Camila Cabello also appears for a remarkable sixth time in seven weeks.

Debuts: None.

Top of the Pops, 20th July 2017

Miley Cyrus's rather nice Malibu is rising back up the chart, so she drops in to perform it and stays for a charming exclusive cameo on Ed Sheeran's otherwise rather tired Shape Of You. Otherwise we're DJ-heavy, with Rudimental, Harris, Sigala and Major Lazer all showing up alongside their various featured singers. Despacito still at the top.

Top of the Pops, 6th July 2017

It's a pretty elite week, with lots of chart movement high up leading to all eight featured tracks being in the top 20. French Montana is back once again, as is DJ Khaled, and Quavo and Chance the Rapper take the opportunity presented by Bieber's absence to do a nice exclusive version of I'm The One.

Peerless friend of the show Ed Sheeran has another random chart climb, so he's here. This means that the inevitable can finally happen: he guests on Despacito for a busker/reggaeton mashup.

Debuts: None.

Up 4 to number 19
