In case you were busy stuffing your face while the Christmas Top of The Pops special was on, we’ve collated performances from Katy Perry, JLS, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs, Cee-Lo Green, Plan B and Scouting For Girls below.

Katy Perry – Firework

JLS – Love You More

Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed

Olly Murs – Please Don’t Let Me Go

Cee-Lo Green – Forget You

Plan B – She Said

We apologise in advance for this last one, as it really is spectacularly dreadful:

Scouting For Girls – This Ain’t A Love Song

Worst. Band. EVER.

Black Kids ‘I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You’

Elliot Minor ‘Parallel Worlds’
A much deserved re-release for this insanely energetic mini-epic from Elliot Minor.  They have been labelled as ‘Mcfly with violins’ by some, but there’s a bit of Muse creeping in there as well. It’s very uncool to like this band, which is a shame because this is actually brilliant.

Scouting For Girls ‘Heartbeat’
Not as terrible as ‘She’s So Luvverly’ or that ‘Elvis’ one. WAPS has nothing more to say on the issue. Let’s move on.

September ‘Cry For You’
Yet another dance track based around a big fat sample from the ‘80s. (It’s Bronski Beats ‘Smalltown Boy’, FYI.)  But it’s rather good, so who cares. And the singer looks a bit like Sarah Alexander of Green Wing and Smack The Pony fame.

Sam Sparro ‘Black And Gold’
Luxuriously dark electro pop which has already been riding high in the charts for two weeks now. Could a physical release push it to #1? Stranger things have happened…

The verdict – it’s a tie between Sam Sparro and Elliot Minor.
