Fantasy TOTP

Hypothetical line-ups, had The Strike not taken place from June onwards*:
Rules are simple: no repeats from previous week (except no. 1, chart rundown intro and playout/credits), all songs have either gone up the charts or remain same place since previous week, one new song for Legs & Co., good balance between new studio appearances, repeats, promos etc.
