Top of the Pops, 20th August 2020

Pushing the boundaries of what both Ofcom and the Zoom platform can accommodate vis a vis lewdness, Cardi B and Meghan Thee Stallion crash into the chart at number 4. Also special in its way is the exclusive performance of Dancing In The Moonlight, as hoary vets Toploader are invited to collaborate with its more recent interpreters Jubel and Neimy.

Other chartbreakers this week come from Bugzy Malone and Little Mix, and the line-up is rounded out with long-running faves from Nathan Dawe, Topic and Ava Max.

Taylor Swift's album arrives, placing three new songs in the upper reaches and pushing most other tracks down accordingly, which means opportunities for a couple of climbers in the lower reaches: Tom Walker and Dua Lipa are both delighted to appear. Taylor herself brings us an impassioned remote rendition of Cardigan.

Swifty doesn't have the highest new entry, though. That honour goes to men of the moment Nathan Dawe and KSI, who appear in split screen. Friends of the show Little Mix also place well with their newest release, and MNEK and Joel Corry hold on at number 1.

It's quite a quiet chart week this week, though there is interest in the shape of new hits from Halsey (and in memory of Juice WRLD), D-Block Europe and Bewdley's own Becky Hill. We also have classy returning performances from Ava Max and RAYE, and a second look at that new TikTok-type version of Dancing In The Moonlight.

Jason Derulo racks up a third week at number one, this time performing an acoustic version of Savage Love without young Jawsh for a bit of variety.

Congratulations to Jawsh 685, who leaps the last three places to take the top spot - with a little help from friend of the show Jason Derulo, of course. There's also a big new entry from K-pop maestros BlackPink, and a surprising leap for Jubel.

A couple of exclusives to mention: Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber perform their lockdown anthem live down the actual telephone, and the legendary Sweet Female Attitude and Sugababes give Nathan Dawes the day off and give us a sweet blend of their own takes on Flowers instead.
