King Ed Sheeran shows us how it's done, climbing into the top ten and twenty with three tracks and mashing them into a medley to delight us this week. Also impressing are Rudimental, finally breaking into the top 40 after a three-week climb, and Bring Me The Horizon who have a pretty high entry for a traditional band.

Returning to the studio are Cupid and the incomparable Taylor Swift, and Florence is in the From The Vault slot with one of the tracks that made her name all those years ago. Ellie Goulding gives us the candlelight version of Miracle for its fifth week at the summit.
