With Aston Merrygold and Dua Lipa CBBC Official Chart Show

-SQUEAKY VOICE:

-I'm Aston Merrygold on the CBBC Official Chart Show,

playing Note, you're going to ask me anything

and I'm going to count down the top ten. I'd better get ready.

Let's... Let's go!

Good evening, wonderful people,

and welcome to the CBBC Official Chart Show with me, Cel Spellman.

Guess what - your weekend starts here!

We have got a show jam-packed of celebrities,

people with noise-cancelling headphones on and, of course,

bringing you the UK's official top ten and the UK's number one,

with that man who's walking out - he's had enough!

I'll have to... I'll have to... Welcome! Hiya, Greg.

We'll get him back on the show in a little bit.

Now, let me not get ahead of myself,

because let me introduce today's special guest.

He is a man of many talents. He's also such a beautiful,

wonderful, awesome man and he does a great impression of Louis Walsh.

I am, of course, talking about none other than Mr Aston Merrygold!

-AS LOUIS WALSH:

-Well, hello. I look like a pop star,

I sound like a pop star. Well, I am a pop star!

CHEERING

Hello!

MUSIC: I Ain't Missing You by Aston Merrygold

# I ain't missing you

# I ain't missing you. #

Aston Merrygold! CHEERING

-Welcome to the show.

-Good to see you, mate.

-How are you? AS LOUIS:

-I'm good, I'm good.

-No, I'll stop there!

-I thought I was talking to Louis Walsh there!

-We quickly saw there, you were doing a handstand.

-Yes.

-Can you tell us where that was?

-That was actually in Morocco.

-Yeah?

Yeah, Morocco. I had to go far, far to do that handstand.

OK, you're an international handstander?

This is it. That should have been the hashtag!

-Should've been the hashtag.

-Should've been the hashtag!

OK, well, we're going to throw you straight into the deep end, Aston,

because I've prepared... Well, there's no other way of

saying about this. We are about to, er, have a car race. I...

Sorry? You mean, the two Ferrari...

The cars outside, they're not...

What do you mean, "Health and safety"? Sorry, Aston.

I'd planned a big, kind of, racetrack

and me and you were going to get in a car each and... We can't do that.

But as if by magic, what we can do is this.

So we've got miniature versions of me and you in our whips, looking...

-We look good in them whips.

-We do look good, don't we?

We style it out!

-So, the track here is, we're going to do a circle round the cones.

-OK.

We then have to go through the finish line but to actually

-finish, it's whoever knocks the egg off that pole there.

-OK.

-Yeah?

-OK, let's get into this.

-I mean...

-Here we go.

-You're blue.

-I'm blue?

-OK.

-Here we go. We're going to get...

BEEPING OK, here we go.

MUSIC: Top Gear Theme

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

We're all...!

Oh, this has gone from bad to worse!

Oh, look!

I'm going to cut the track.

WHOOPING

What's the car doing? Turn!

Oh, no, he's...

I'm trying, I'm trying! No, he's just not...

Get out! Come on!

No, no, you're going the wrong way!

Come on, Aston!

SQUEALING HOOTER BLOWS

Come on, buddy! Come on!

I can't believe it! I can't...

OK, what is this? This is what else

is coming up on today's show. Gutted!

Dua Lipa blows our mind with her selfie portrait.

Imani tries to teach Millie some French in a game of Say What!

And we find out what amazing tracks you've chosen

in this week's Playlist.

And that's where you find me now.

Of course, this is the part of the show where you guys are in

the DRIVING SEAT. Having that?

Because you guys have ultimate control over the three videos

that get played out throughout the show.

If you've made it to bbc.co.uk/cbbc,

you have ten videos to choose from, three votes to use as you want.

You vote, we play. It is as simple as that.

The moment has arrived when we find that first video. Let's do this.

I'm going to swap cameras.

I can tell you, your first playlist track choice was...

Sia and Kendrick Lamar, with The Greatest.

# Uh-oh, running out of breath, but I

# Oh, I, I got stamina

# Uh-oh, running, now I close my eyes

# But, oh-oh, I got stamina

# And oh, yeah, running through the waves of love

# Oh, I, I got stamina

# And oh, yeah, I'm running and I've just enough

# And uh-oh, I got stamina

# Don't give up, I won't give up

# Don't give up, no, no, no

# Don't give up, I won't give up

# Don't give up, no, no, no

# I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

# I'm free to be the greatest here tonight

# The greatest

# The greatest

# The greatest alive

# The greatest

# The greatest alive

# Oh-oh, I got stamina

# Oh-oh, I got stamina

# Oh-oh, I got stamina

# Oh-oh, I got stamina

# I got stamina

# I got stamina

# I got stamina

# Don't give up, I won't give up

# Don't give up, no, no, no

# Don't give up, I won't give up

# Don't give up, no, no, no

# I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

# I'm free to be the greatest here tonight

# The greatest

# The greatest

# The greatest alive. #

That was one of your GREATEST choices! Full of 'em today.

Full of 'em! We'll get your other Playlist track choices later.

I want to wander over here and I want to talk to you about art.

I want to talk to you about Pablo Picasso, Bebe Rexha,

Jack Garratt, Claude Monet,

Da Vinci, Oli Whyte, Nathan Sykes,

KSI, just to name a few.

I am, of course, talking about Selfie Portrait.

Now, Banksy has been on the blower nonstop, on the e-mails,

trying to get involved. We've not allowed it yet but we did allow this lady.

This is Dua Lipa's Selfie Portrait.

# If you don't like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?

# If you don't like the way I rock, then why am I on your mind? #

Hey, I'm Dua Lipa and I'm about to take a Selfie Portrait.

# Tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign

# Guaranteed, I can blow your mind. #

This is really hard!

This is, like, way harder than I expected it to be.

# Tell me I'm too crazy, you can't take me, can't take me. #

Playing Glastonbury.

I would want to do that again and again and again and again

and again and again and again and again and again, over and over.

Like, the feeling was so crazy and so insane and I guess it's

just been, like, a festival that I've just always wanted to do and,

you know, from watching it on telly to actually being able to get up

on stage and do it, it's something

that I've always dreamt of, so, yeah.

It was amazing. When I got off stage, I was...

I was in tears, my mum was in tears, my friends were in tears.

It was just, like, such a crazy moment.

# And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign

# Guaranteed, I can blow your mind... #

I can speak Albanian fluently. My parents are from Kosovo.

TRANSLATION:

# Tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign

# Guaranteed, I can blow your mind... #

Well, we don't really have the butterfly emoji.

I feel like I always find myself looking for it to explain how

I'm feeling. Like, when I want to be, like, "Butterflies in my tummy!"

I can't find the butterfly and I can't really settle for an ant,

so I just choose the sparkles instead!

# If you don't like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?

# If you don't like... #

SHE BLOWS RASPBERRY

It's not very good. Wait...

SHE BLOWS RASPBERRY

Never mind.

# Tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign

# Guaranteed, I can blow your mind... #

Get ready!

Masterpiece!

What?!

So I started off with hearts and then I was like,

"Wait, but a heart isn't really a face," so then I started

drawing a face and I thought,

"Maybe I'll use the bottom of it as my neck."

And then it was really hard to draw

a nose or eyes and eyebrows and hair.

The hair was kind of easy.

Anyway, here's my self portrait.

# If you don't like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?

# If you don't like the way I... #

I must say, Dua Lipa's Selfie Portrait really BLEW MY MIND.

Having that? Full of them today! Thank you very much.

bbc.co.uk/cbbc, as you know, is the destination for all things chart.

Not only can you get involved with our Playlist but you can also

put your questions to our studio guest.

I think you know what it's time for. It's time for...

Good afternoon and welcome to my talk show, Ask Me Anything!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you, thank you. I'm interviewing today's studio guest.

Make some noise - Aston Merrygold!

-My man!

-I'm loving the specs.

Thank you, sir. I'll tell you, the ladies are loving you out there!

CHEERING Calm it down! Calm it down!

-OK, Aston, are you ready to be asked anything?

-Er...

CEL CHUCKLES

-Yeah.

-Sorry, that was an awful laugh. OK.

Amy from Cheshire would like to know - how are you, Amy? -

what song do you have stuck in your head right now?

Hi, Amy. Er...

-I felt like I was on Blind Date there.

-Wrong show!

-In my head right now, I've actually got my own song.

-Which goes like...

# I ain't missing you... #

CHEERING

# Ooh-ooh-ooh, I ain't... #

-Just practising.

-He's doing the routine! I love it.

All will be revealed. Lovely. This is a VT question, actually.

I'm going to throw over to my friends over here.

If you was a superhero...

What power would you have?

Thank you, Tia and Kaya.

Millie, thank you as well.

-If you were a superhero, what power would you have?

-Ooh, hello.

Hi, by the way. Er...I'd have to fly.

-I'd have to be able to fly, because I can't take traffic.

-Good choice.

Good choice! Great choice. We've got this from Millie in Hertfordshire.

If you could only speak one other language for a month

-that wasn't English, what would it be?

-Ooh!

One other language for a month? I'd probably have to say...

-Spanish!

-Oh!

-I have to say Spanish.

My favourite language, too.

CREW MEMBER SHOUTS OUT Ah, silencio!

Thank you. Cel's show. Thank you. Thank you.

Mike, by the way, is having a great time in the sound studio.

Sophie from Cardiff wants to know, what's your party trick, Aston?

Well, Sophie, the party trick...

I'm getting a bit old. I can't just take the top off any more.

It doesn't look like it used to! Er, no.

-Please!

-I'm getting old. I'm getting old!

Er...I'm actually quite good at the, er...

Give me a ping-pong ball, a cup...

-Bosh!

-Oh, really? You got the eye of the tiger?

Target is on point. I'm just saying, I'm pretty lethal.

We'll have to see that in action at some point, I think.

We've got time for one more question. This comes from Leah

in Luton. Hello, Leah. Great question!

What is your ultimate favourite pizza topping?

-Leah... Pizza is my favourite food, first of all.

-Oh!

-It's my favourite food, so well done.

-Great choice.

-Er...

-Tuna.

-On a pizza?

-Yeah, see...

Yeah, no, no, I promise you. I promise you. Try it.

I've converted a lot of people to this topping of pizza and now...

your life has changed. In that sentence, your life has now changed.

Not only do we bring you charts and number ones and Aston,

we bring you a new pizza topping.

-There you go!

-Well, if we can do this together... That was...

-BOTH:

-Ask me anything!

Oh, yeah!

Take these off now, back to normality.

OK, remember, go to bbc.co.uk/cbbc

if you want a go with Ask Me Anything.

That is also where you can use your three votes on our Playlist tracks.

It's time to get your second one. It's time for...

# Official Chart Show! #

And I can now reveal, after totalling up all your votes

from this week, that the second Playlist video on today's show is...

Swap camera.

..last week's studio guest.

It's only James Arthur with Say You Won't Let Go.

# I'll wake you up with some

# Breakfast in bed

# I'll bring you coffee

# With a kiss on your head

# I'll take the kids to school

# Wave them goodbye

# And I'll thank my lucky stars

# For that night

# When you looked over your shoulder

# For a minute, I forget that I'm older

# I wanna dance with you right now

# Whoa-oh, and you look

# As beautiful as ever

# And I swear that every day you'll get better

# You make me feel this way somehow

# I'm so in love with you

# And I hope you know

# Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold

# We've come so far, my dear

# Look how we've grown

# And I wanna stay with you

# Until we're grey and old

# Just say you won't let go

# Just say you won't let go

# I wanna live with you

# Even when we're ghosts

# Cos you were always there for me

# When I needed you most

# I'm gonna love you till

# My lungs give out

# I promise till death we part

# Like in our vows

# So I wrote this song for you

# Now everybody knows

# That it's just you and me

# Till we're grey and old

# Just say you won't let go... #

Great Playlist choice, by the way, and we're going to find out

if James can make it two weeks at the top when Greg James joins us

a little bit later. Now, I want to cast your mind back to last week

when we had a special version of "Say What?" with Zara Larsson.

I say a special version. I mean, Swedish version.

You know how it is with languages and me.

Well, this week we're doing the same.

I sent Millie along to meet Imani Williams and...

HE CLEARS THROAT

TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH:

Et voici, ce que c'est se passe.

-Come again?

-Mais, oui!

# I don't need no money

# I don't need no money

# I don't need no money

# As long as I've got you... #

-We're about to play Say What? You ready?

-I'm ready.

Right, pop the headphones on. (Here we go.)

This is scary!

It's like, "Bleurgh!"

Question number one - why doesn't Imani need money?

# I don't need no money... #

-Why doesn't Imani need money?

-Why doesn't Imani need...

# Money... #

Money!

Because love is more important, as it says in Don't Need No Money,

and, actually, everyone needs a bit of money but I think when you've

got love in your life, you get your happiness from somewhere else.

-Sigala or Blonde?

-This is so hard!

-Sigala or Blonde?

-I can't say that!

-I'm going to say "and".

-Come on!

-Sigala AND Blonde!

You have to choose!

-I'm not choosing! That's too hard. They're so amazing.

-Well done.

-You're very fair!

-Pugs or poodles?

-Once more?

-Pugs or poodles?

-Pugs or poodles?

-Yeah!

Erm, pugs. I had a pug when I was younger - Tiago.

Oh, cute!

The worst name for a pug.

Tiago!

Can you sing a song by Beyonce or Bieber?

Can you sing a song by...?

-Beyonce?

-Mariah Carey?

-Beyonce?

-Oh, Beyonce!

-MUSIC: Single Ladies by Beyonce

-# Whoa, oh-oh

# Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh... #

-Everyone loves that one.

-LAUGHTER

How about Bieber?

-SHE SINGS

-# Is it too late now to say sorry?

# Cos I'm missing more than just your body... #

I don't know if that sounds good,

-or if it sounds bad.

-How can she sing whilst listening to music?

I don't understand!

-LAUGHTER

-How can that happen?

Can you speak French?

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH:

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH:

I have no idea what you just said.

Can you do an evil laugh?

Like...an hour.

If I wake up and my hair is crazy, then it can take longer.

-Is that wrong? Is that not right? No?

-No, no, no.

-Can you do an evil laugh?

-Can I do...?

-Evil laugh?

-Yeah.

SLOW MOTION EVIL LAUGH

That didn't really sound evil,

-it just sounded like...

-It wasn't very evil.

-Erm...

I like that one.

Well, that ends Say What?!

LAUGHTER

-Oh, good.

-You were so good at that!

-Really?

-How can you lip-read so well?

I'd whisper in class a lot.

-LAUGHTER

-There you go. Whisper in class.

No, guys. Don't do that.

HE SHOUTS: That was Say What?! Feat...

Sorry, Steve. Can...? Noise cancelling headphones.

What am I like, eh? Right, OK.

Can we talk about last week. I've noticed a bit of a trend going.

I haven't broken them, by the way.

Izzy Bizu got four seconds.

A week before, KSI, two seconds.

We all know what I'm talking about - I'm not even going to mention it.

I will in a second.

But I have every faith that Aston Merrygold

is about to break this awful vein of form that we're in.

It's time for Noooote.

IN FUNNY VOICE: Ladies and gentlemen!

Welcome to Noooote, the part of the show where we ask our studio guest

to take one breath and sustain a note for as long as possible.

I am, of course, talking about Noooote. Clear the mic!

Love that.

And I'd like to introduce today's Noooote challenger -

Mr Aston Merrygold!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

He's ready.

He's ready. OK.

ASTON CLEARS HIS THROAT Erm...

Now, you might have just... Hiya, Greg.

Just wandered through the Live Lounge there, everybody.

Hiya, Greg. Welcome to the... THEY TALK

Don't say. Look at that.

-Cheers.

-LAUGHTER

So, you might have just heard there, Aston -

-Izzy Bizu, four seconds.

-Yes.

-KSI, two seconds.

That's how long they held a note for.

-They're down here on the leaderboard.

-Oh, lovely.

I think we just need to get back to double figures.

-That's all I'm kind of hoping for.

-OK.

As we move up, we've got Olly Murs at 22. The Vamps, 28.

-There's you there, mate.

-20, 26 seconds.

-Come on.

That's all right. I think I could do better.

-But at the top, 45 seconds.

-Oh!

-That is the score to beat.

So, you're going to be taking on another Noooote challenger.

Shall we find out who it is?

-Let's do it.

-OK, here we go.

WHEEL RATTLES

This week is...

Oh, it's getting quicker.

-Oh, oh, oh.

-Dizzy now.

-Is it...?

WHEEL DINGS

-Zara Larsson!

-Ooh!

-So, OK, shall we see how Zara got on?

-Oof!

-Let's, let's...let's do this.

-OK. Go on, Zara.

SHE HOLDS NOTE

Interesting technique.

ASTON CHUCKLES

Very interesting.

She looks scared.

-SHE STOPS

-I think the hardest bit is

-probably trying not to laugh.

-Sorry!

-Yeah.

14 seconds. OK, we're back in double figures at least.

That is the score to beat, then you'll be on the leaderboard, OK?

-OK, cool.

-I've got every faith. I'm going to count you in.

Best of luck. Here we go. ASTON CLEARS HIS THROAT

-VOICEOVER:

-Three, two, one.

-Two, one.

# Astonnnnnnnn.... #

ASTON HOLDS NOTE I like it.

Got the N on the end of Aston.

So, he holds that.

You just regulate that flow now, Aston.

ASTON HOLDS NOTE

It's definitely back into double figures.

You've cleared that.

You hold that, brother. ASTON WAVERS

ASTON WAVERS

Boom! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I told ya! I told ya!

Can we just get that time?

ASTON LAUGHS

25 seconds!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Bravo!

You're on the leaderboard! Fantastic!

We've got more of this next week.

Good luck at the people doing that. I have to look for an extra breath.

Now, let's talk about this final playlist track.
