# The CBBC Official Chart Show! #

Good evening and welcome to the CBBC Official Chart Show.

As always, an absolute treat to see you beautiful people again

and this week, it is a Brits special.

The Brits are on Wednesday and we are celebrating all things British.

We have had our British playlist this week,

which you guys have been choosing from -

three videos, all from the Best of British.

We've also got Calum Scott giving us his favourite Brit playlist

and we've got Blossoms telling us

all about what to expect from the Brits.

And today's special guest, well, it's a real honour,

because he was the first-ever guest on the CBBC Official Chart Show.

He is the king of covers.

He is honestly one of the most stylish men in Great Britain

and he also fell out with his mum on Christmas over a Brussels sprout.

I'm talking about the one, the only,

Mr Conor Maynard. WHOOPING

Conor Maynard!

-Hello, everyone!

-My man.

-Hello.

-So good to see you.

Thank you very much.

What's been going on since we last saw you?

Un... You know, I've been surviving, you know?

I've been working on new music, posting a lot of stuff online.

I'm, like, 97% good right now.

I actually have a fractured ankle, that's genuinely...

-Aw!

-Genuinely not a lie.

I was playing football with some guys...

I believe they've been on here before.

And, yes, a bear attacked me out of nowhere.

And a shark, actually, and a tiger, I think, was there.

All three at the same time?

All three at the same time, fighting them all off.

-Just going to...

-No - basically, I fell over.

No-one was even near me. That was the worst thing.

I just fell over. Like, you know when your ankle just...

-It just rolls.

-It just buckles and...

That was the end of the game for me. Stretchered off.

Will you champion through for the Chart Show today?

Of course I will. I can do it.

We're going to play a game called Sing What?

# Are you sure? #

Now, Conor, I'm not ignoring you, even though I've got my back to you.

But we're playing a game called Sing What?

-We're going to put some songs on that TV next to you.

-Right.

-All you have to do is sing them.

-OK.

I will try and work out what the song is.

-However, there's a twist. See those headphones?

-Yeah.

On that music player there,

you're going to be playing your single,

while singing, just put you off.

Oh, no! I never listen to my own songs.

It's my least favourite thing ever to do.

-Which one did you choose?

-OK. Here we go.

OK, good luck, here we go.

Oh, it's a good one.

Oh...um...

# I've been up all night No sleep... #

The Vamps, All Night.

OK. Uh...

# Only human... #

Rag'n'Bone Man, Human.

Yes, yes, yes!

Oh, um...

Oh, no!

HE HUMS

-Pass, pass, pass.

-Pass it. Skip it.

Oh!

# Rockabye baby, don't you cry... #

-Clean Bandit, UK number one. Yes.

-Oh...

# Take a sip on a secret potion... #

Little Mix, Black Magic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh...um... I'm about to sing another one...

-# Baby won't you come my... #

-KLAXON BLARES

-It's the wrong one...

-Is that time?

-We did all right, though.

-We did all right.

-Put it there.

-Nailed it. Nailed it.

-What a banger, by the way.

-A great song, as well, there.

Here's what's coming up on today's show.

On this week's British special...

..Calum Scott reveals his Brit playlist...

..Blossoms give us their guide to the Brits...

and the final ever Note.

So the Brits are coming

and this week, if you wanted to get involved

with the CBBC Official Chart Show playlist,

it was our Best of British playlist.

All the video choices,

all the artists that you could choose,

came from our very own Brit artists.

All sorts. You had The Vamps, you had Little Mix,

you had One Direction, just to name a few.

But let's find out what you chose as our first playlist track

for today's CBBC Official Chart Show.

None other than a wonderful Brit.

It is Ed Sheeran with Shape Of You.

# Official Chart Show! #

We'll find out if Ed Sheeran

can hold on to the number one and two spot

a little bit later on in the show.

I don't know what's going on there - he's not coming back around...

YASSER PANTS

-Looking good, looking good.

-Stop! What's going on here?

-What's this?

-Just training, Cel.

The last ever Note, Cel.

I mean, I'm aware. What, you're helping him?

Yeah. Well, he asked me, and he's a lot bigger than me.

# Note... # You have to help me.

I do, I do.

Get going! I understand, mate.

Do what needs to be done.

Listen, we all know what they're talking about.

We've got the final ever Note.

Me versus Yasser, coming up later in today's show, and I'm ready.

I'm ready!

Meanwhile, back to the show -

the Brits, they're happening on Wednesday

and, I tell you what, it is a big night in British music.

It is when the finest British artists,

the cream of British music, come together

with international pop stars as well

to compete for the prestigious Brit Award,

and we spoke to Best Single nominee Calum Scott

to find out who is on his Brit playlist.

Hi, guys. I'm Calum Scott,

and I'm nominated for Best British Single,

and here are some fellow nominees that are on my playlist.

# And I'm giving it my all

# But I'm not the guy.... #

Being nominated for a Brit Award just felt absolutely incredible.

I remember the Brits when the Spice Girls performed on it.

# Yo, I tell you what I want What I really, really want

# So tell me what you want What you really, really want... #

So to be nominated and be part of the show,

it just makes me feel on top of the world.

No, I haven't prepared a speech, and my manager has asked me to,

and I do feel a little bit like I don't want to tempt fate

or anything like that.

I'll have to start preparing one now.

I just want to thank CBBC for the Brit Award,

and that's it, just CBBC.

LAUGHTER

So, guys, first on my playlist, a tad biased,

but it's got to be Calum Scott with Dancing On My Own.

# And I'm giving it my all

# But I'm not the guy

# You're taking home

# Ooh

# I keep dancing on my own... #

So next up, we've got somebody who I've been an massive fan of

since I was a kid and as an adult, the biggest comeback kid ever,

it's Craig David.

# Even if the odds are up

# Even if the words run out

# Even if the times get tough

# I know nothing will ever change my love for you... #

So there's been some incredible music videos

and the one that stood out for me in particular was our next one,

which is Tinie Tempah and Zara Larsson, with Girls Like.

# I know what boys like

# I know what they want

# They want that good thing

-# They wanna get some

-All the girls like

# I know what boys like

# I know what they want

# So go ahead and prove me right

# That's what girls like... #

Up next are my good friends Little Mix.

I do have a bit of a story about this.

I was given a Christmas challenge.

Either sing a Christmas carol in the form of Maroon 5,

cos I was in a Maroon 5 tribute band...

# Look into my eyes and I know... #

..or ask them to drop Black Magic from their set,

because I was going to do it.

They haven't replied, but they do still follow me.

Send me a message, girls, whenever.

Here's Little Mix.

# Shout out to my ex

# You're really quite the man

# You're quite the man

# You made my heart break and that made me who I am

# Here's to my ex

# Hey, look at me now

# Well, I, I'm all the way up

# I swear you'll never bring me down... #

I'm Calum Scott and I'll see you at the Brits.

# You'll never bring me down. #

Best of luck to Calum Scott for Wednesday.

Now time to ask Conor Maynard absolutely anything.

Definitely not knocked over my glasses.

Please make some noise for today's special guest, Conor Maynard.

Yeah! Yeah!

Thanks for coming on, Conor.

Before we start, Cel, I've got one question for you.

What do you think your chances are of winning the last ever Note?

My chances are...

Put it this way - you should put your house on me winning.

CHEERING Thank you!

I'm kind of training your opponent, so I'll put my money on him.

-But it's fine, don't worry about it.

-We'll forget you said that.

We're going to ask the questions the fans want to answers to, Conor.

I'm ready.

Lily would like to know, if you could do a remix of two songs,

what would it be and why?

Lily, if I could remix two songs, it would have to be...

Oh, what would it be?

It would be Bruno Mars' new absolute banger,

-which is called 24K Magic.

-Yes.

And...something just a bit, like, more left,

maybe like a Susan Boyle classic.

Oh! Stop it, stop it!

Crazy, but I reckon it'd work.

Crazy, it is crazy. OK.

Katie from Cambridge - if you were to do a singing collab

with another YouTuber, who would it be?

A singing collab with another YouTuber.

I think, of all the...

Of all the YouTube singers I've done collabs with already,

I would say...

I would like to do a mixed one with Alex Aiono and William Singe.

Oh! That's something we'd like to see.

A three-way collab. That would be a lot of fun.

That sounds a bit special. You heard it here first.

It would be.

Think of the views....

Think of those numbers, baby!

Michael from Scotland -

what is your personal favourite song to cover, Conor, and why?

Michael from Scotland, my personal favourite probably was...

I did a cover of Too Good by Drake and Rihanna,

and I had a lot of fun doing that, with Sarah Close, who is amazing,

and I had a lot of fun doing that one.

That also went absolutely everywhere,

it was a viral sensation.

It went quite viral, and I was wearing a bright orange T-shirt,

which is also a great thing I wanted to do.

Quickly, Yasser or Cel for the final Note?

Yeah, it's going to be Yasser.

Oh. OK.

That was...

ALL: Ask Me Anything!

Wonderful. Ask Me Anything, there. I do love Conor Maynard, I must say.

Right, OK, we are getting closer to that final Note.

Let me tell you, we are in our playlist area,

which means we are about to find out who you chose as our second...

Guys...

I want to thank my mum, I want to thank my school,

I want to thank everyone that believed in me...

-Yeah.

-That's a good one. I want to thank you.

Course, don't forget to thank your vocal coach.

-You all right?

-Oh, yeah, Cel,

just practising my winning speech for when I win Note later on.

Exactly.

It's all right, it's all right, I get it.

You know you're not going to hold on to that,

so you can just look after that now for me.

I'll take it off you in a bit. Don't want to hear it.

Second playlist track choice, as chosen by you.

We are talking about our Brit playlist,

and I can tell you, you went for...

A big number one.

It was Clean Bandit, with Rockabye.

# Official Chart Show! #

# She just wants a life for her baby

# All on her own, no-one will come

# She's got to save him

# Daily struggle

# She tells him, "Ooh, love

# "No-one's ever gonna hurt you, love

# "I'm gonna give you all of my love

# "Nobody matters like you"

-# Stay out there, stay out there

-She tells him "Your life

# "Ain't gon' be nothing like my life

# "You're gonna grow and have a good life

-# "I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

-Stay out there, stay out there

# So, rockabye, baby, rockabye

# I'm gonna rock you

# Rockabye, baby, don't you cry

# Somebody's got you

# Rockabye, baby, rockabye

# I'm gonna rock you

# Rockabye, baby, don't you cry

# Rockabye

# No

# Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

# Rockabye, yeah

# Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye

# Now she got a six-year-old

# Trying to keep him warm

# Trying to keep out the cold

# When he looks in her eyes

# He don't know he is safe when she says...

# She tells him, "Ooh, love

# "No-one's ever gonna hurt you, love

# "I'm gonna give you all of my love

-# "Nobody matters like you"

-Stay out there, stay out there

# She tells him, "Your life

# "Ain't gon' be nothing like my life

# "You're gonna grow..." #

Wonderful choice, there, of Clean Bandit.

Now...

That's it, guys. You sit back and relax,

because the moment has arrived.

Hundreds of pop stars have attempted this,

singing their hearts out for hours, trying to win the battle,

the only battle that matters.

And I am ready - I was born ready for this.

Yasser? Pfft! Don't even know if you're ready.

I am talking about the one, the only,

for the final time, Note.

Ladies and gentlemen...

The game is so simple...

We ask our guests to hold a note for as long as possible.

'It started two years ago with one note.'

Come on, you can do it...

'Since then, hundreds of pop stars have taken on the challenge.'

# Oooh... #

# Dom! #

All right, Cocker?

You can do it!

# Ah! #

Some rose to the occasion.

Victory to the red corner.

And some, not so much.

# Oh, oooh! #

# Ah! #

Some took forever

and ever and ever.

-And some literally took like two seconds.

-# Ahhh... #

But now the ultimate Note,

the ultimate participants

and, to introduce them,

Officially Amazing's Mr Ben Shires.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

pets of indeterminate species,

it's time for the final ever Note!

Yes, it's the game that has gripped the imagination of the nation.

The game that has had us glued to our screens.

The game which has taken every pop star under the sun

and required them simply to sing their own name.

And now here today is the last ever, it's the big one,

the one we've all waited for.

So without further ado let us meet our contenders.

In the red corner it's Chicken Fried Yasser!

It's Yasser!

CHEERING

A confident entrance but now let's meet our contender

in the blue corner.

It's Cel "You having that" Spellman!

It's Cel!

CHEERING AND WHOOPING

Oh, yes! Playing to the crowd.

CHEERING CONTINUES

Are we quite done, gentlemen? Excellent.

Now this is the real stuff.

I don't want to put too much emphasis on this but I'm not

exaggerating when I say it has all come down to this.

-Cel, how are you feeling?

-Very nervous.

There's been a lot of hype and expectation around this -

arguably probably the biggest Note in history

so, ladies and gentlemen, it's a real privilege to be here and all

I can say is, being a sportsman, best of luck.

Oh! Humble.

Is it mind games though? Yasser, what about you?

Are you going to win this?

Well, you know, it took a lot of determination to get to this

position. But now that I'm here, I've already beaten him once,

It'll probably happen again today, I think.

-CHEERING

-Wise words. Let's find out.

This is the last ever Note, boys, make it count.

Gentlemen, best of luck.

May the longest note win. I'll count you down.

Three, two, one.

-# Ya.... #

-OK, it's a low start.

It's lo-fi. Now Cel is struggling with a case of the sniffles today.

That could affect his performance.

But Yasser's got more of a guttural tone to his voice,

like something's trying to get out.

It doesn't sound like a note though, it sounds like a reptile maybe.

-An amphibian.

-NOTES CONTINUE

Cel's gone into a trance.

I like that. He's very in touch with his Note philosophy.

This is a man who spends hours and hours thinking about how to

produce a note... Yasser can barely hold it. Oh!

He's coming to the end now.

This is it.

This is the last bit. Cel's face is gone.

Yasser is just fitting.

Oh, OK. Whoa!

That was unclear. I'm going to need to get the umpire's view.

I'm being told that that's

-a draw at 42 seconds.

-What?

-Unprecedented scenes.

-CEL MUTTERS

Barely any breath left in either of your bodies.

But congratulations both.

-We'll take a draw.

-That's it. There will be no more Note.

-It's a draw, yeah!

-It's a draw!

It's a draw. What a way to finish.

-What a way to finish.

-I can't talk.

CHEERING

-That was a Note.

-It was good.

-It means we're equally the best in the world.

-Yeah.

-The best ever.

The best ever at holding a note, as we've proved now.

-That Ben there made it for us.

-Thank you, Ben.

-There we go.

-There we go. OK. It's done.

Shall we carry on with the show?

-Let's carry on.

-We'll catch our breath back as well.

-This is our final pap...track...

-Final playlist track!

There we go. The Best of British is Little Mix with Black Magic.

# And repeat after me, say

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# I'll make you fall in love

# For a spell that can't be broken

# One drop should be enough

# Boy, you belong to me

# I got the recipe

# And it's called black magic

# And it's called black magic

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# One taste and you'll be mine

# It's a spell that can't be broken

# It'll keep you up all night

# Boy, you belong to me

# I got the recipe

# And it's called black magic

# And it's called black magic

# If you're lookin' for Mr Right

# Need that magic

# To change him overnight

# Here's the answer

# Come and get it

# While you've still got time

# Hey!

# Get your boy on his knees and repeat after me, say

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# I'll make you fall in love

# For a spell that can't be broken

# One drop should be enough

# Boy, you belong to me

# I got the recipe

# And it's called black magic

# And it's called black magic

# Take a sip of my secret potion

# One taste and you'll be mine

# It's a spell that can't be broken

# It'll keep you up all night. #

Little Mix and Black Magic rounding off your Best of British playlist

and, keeping with the theme of Best of British,

is Britain's finest, Mr Greg James.

APPLAUSE

-Ooh, trickery!

-Didn't work.

-Hi, guys.

-How are you?

-I'm good.

Thanks for saying I'm Best of British. It's really nice.

-You are. You really are.

-Do you like my haircut?

-Very much so.

-Thank you. Fishing.

-You're looking very handsome today, Greg.

-Let's get on with the top ten, shall we?

-Let's.

14th week in the chart for Starley.

It's down three places though.

This is Call On Me.

# Oh, baby, come on, let me get to know you

# Just another chance... #

I love this track. Be The One.

Dua Lipa is up one place.

# Cos I could be the one. #

# A touch of your love is enough

# To knock me off of my feet all week. #

It is Little Mix with Touch.

# Just a touch of your love is enough

# To knock me off of my feet all week. #

She'll be performing at the Brit Awards next week.

It's a new entry for Katy Perry featuring Skip Marley -

Chained To The Rhythm.

Chainsmokers were a non-mover this week.

This is their track Paris.

Up four places, Zayn and Taylor Swift.

I Don't Wanna Live Forever.

# Till you come back home

# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. #

Down one place for Jax Jones featuring Raye.

This is You Don't Know Me

and you can look forward to a future collaboration with Selena Gomez.

Ooh!

# You don't know me. #

-Oh, this is down one place.

-Oh.

Ed Sheeran, Castle On The Hill.

# Over the castle on the hill. #

# I'm only human after all. #

So Rag'n'Bone Man is climbing back up the chart

after the release of his album.

Up three places for Human.

# Don't put the blame on me. #

But Rag'n'Bone Man hasn't climbed quite high enough to topple

Ed Sheeran.

Six weeks at number one for Shape Of You.

# Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, oh, I

# I'm in love with your body

# Every day discovering something brand-new. #

Congratulations, Ed, and well done to Rag'n'Bone Man there,

getting to number two. Very close to number one.

And also good luck for Wednesday cos he's nominated for

a British Breakthrough Award along with our next guest,

cos we wanted to know the dos and don'ts for the night,

so we thought who better to ask than Blossoms?

Hi, we're Blossoms and we're nominated for

Best British Breakthrough at the Brit Awards 2017.

-Vote for us.

-Please.

-Please do it.

Hi, we're Blossoms and this is what NOT to do at the Brits, kids.

Go on, Tom, what not to do.

When presenting an award, make sure you don't sing or dance.

# I came in like a wreck... #

The wave.

Especially if you can't sing or dance, like me.

HE SINGS TUNELESSLY

-It's a bit cringey, isn't it?

-It's not cool, is it?

-Nah.

When walking down the red carpet,

never ever, EVER make a fool of yourself.

-That's harsh, that one.

-Yeah, you don't want to do it, but everyone...

Do you know what? Any press is good press.

Maybe that's what we should do. I'll trip Miles up.

We've just been told to say this by the way.

We wouldn't have said that.

The Brits are a serious business.

Don't ever laugh and laugh and laugh.

LAUGHTER

It's hard not to laugh, isn't it?

That horrible laugh like...

HIGH-PITCHED LAUGHTER

I just burped.

Don't overdress.

# As long as I got my suit and tie

# I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight

# And you got fixed up to the nines. #

These people wear standard suits - sound.

Then somebody turns up in a fluorescent orange suit.

Bruno Mars can get away with it.

Bruno Mars will wear some sort of Versace silk and that's sound to me.

Incredible.

Don't fan-boy or girl over someone you really like.

-That's a really good one.

-Play it cool.

Why did I wave? Why did I wave?

I just did a really embarrassing wave. I had my mouth full! Oh!

I'm not going to be able to play it cool.

I don't think there's anyone there we'll be that starstruck by.

-Bruno Mars.

-Yeah, true.

-I think that's all corners covered.

-Yeah.

Thank you, Blossoms,

and best of luck to Blossoms for Wednesday night.

Now remember to go to bbc.co.uk/cbbc.

You can see an exclusive performance from this man, Tor Miller.

That is all over there for you to enjoy.

There's quizzes and all sorts to get involved in but there we go,

we've arrived at the end of the show.

Thank you very much to all our Best of British guests.

Thank you to Calum Scott. Thank you to Blossoms.

Thank you to none other than Mr Greg James, who is on Radio 1.

Thank you to you, sir, Conor Maynard.

-Before we finish, you need to sign this.

-Sign it.

Lawson took up a lot of space.

I'll just go in a little Conor sandwich.

-Yeah, put it in there.

-Yasser, thank you to you, sir.

-Amazing.

-And, most importantly, as well,

thank you to you wonderful people at home.

Chart Show would be absolutely nothing without you all.

Keep dreaming, keep believing and also keep enjoying music.

-Conor, single is also out now?

-Out right now.

-Beautiful.

Have a wonderful weekend, guys. I love you. Peace and love.

See you in a bit.
