In a busy week for new entries we get drop-bys from the ever-energetic Union J, the intriguingly named Wankelmut and the irreproachable Taylor Swift among others.

Nico & Vinz pull off a rare (these days) second week at number 1 and return to the studio to perform the song in style.

Loveable rudesbies Magic! climb that final place to number 1, earning themselves a coveted second TOTP performance in a row - but as they are blowing up worldwide and unable to appear, we have to make do with the video. There's plenty of talent in the studio, though, including a slowed-down reprise of Overdrive from Becky Hill sans Mr Heldens, and a triumphant first performance in her own right from Melissa Steel, who we saw a couple of weeks ago guesting on a hit by Kove.
Rounding out the evening are a couple of faves from friend of the show Ed Sheeran and a slew of first-timers including the shadowy Zhu (face covered of course).
