Spice Girls celebrate a sixth week at Number 1

The Spice Girls remain unstoppable at Number 1. Their hit Wannabe now spends a sixth week at the top, becoming the longest-running Number 1-single of 1996. The record was previously held by Guus Meeuwis and Vagant, whom spent five weeks at Number 1 with Per Spoor (Kedeng Kedeng). The Spice Girls now also equal the record for ‘Girl group with the Most Weeks At Number 1’, which is also held by Linda, Roos & Jessica with six weeks.

The family Jackson teams up as 3T and Michael Jackson enter the Top 10 with Why. Boy group 3T consists of Taj Jackson, Taryll Jackson and Tito Joe Jackson, who are cousins of the world-famous Michael Jackson. 3T has entered the Top 10 before with Why, which peaked at Number 3 and was certified Gold. Michael Jackson has already signed numerous hits to his name, including three Top 10-entries, with his biggest-scoring success being Earth Song that peaked at Number 4 and was certified Gold as well. Their collaboration finishes at Number 7 this week.

The highest debut of the week is scored by Blackstreet. The American hip-hop formation has not entered the list before, making No Diggity their debut single. The track features Dr. Dre, who was scored two hits before with Keep Their Heads Hangin’ and the success-single California Love, which peaked at Number 3 and was certified Gold. The track also features Queen Pen, for whom No Diggity is her debut single as well.
