Fugees extend their reign at Number for a fourth week

The Fugees spend a fourth week at Number 1 with Killing Me Softly with His Song. The song is now the second-longest-running Number 1-single of 1996, only behind Per Spoor (Kedeng Kedeng) by Guus Meeuwis and Vagant with five weeks. The Backstreet Boys do pose as a threat to the Fugees, as Get Down (You're The One For Me) reaches Number 2 this week.

Total Touch rebounds to the Top 10 with Touch Me There. The group, consisting of siblings Trijntje Oosterhuis and Tjeerd Oosterhuis, have already peaked within the Top 10 before with the same single, but they reach a new peak this week. Their single hits Number 7 this week.

Céline Dion scores the highest debut of the week. The French-Canadian singer her legacy on this list remains unmatched; the singer has scored two Number 1s with Think Twice and Because You Loved Me and scored two additional Top 10-entries. Her hit Think Twice is even the best-scoring single by a female artist to date, having racked up over 130,000 points. Her newest single It's All Coming Back to Me Now opens at Number 14.
