Spice Girls match record held by Guus Meeuwis & Vagant and Take That

The Spice Girls score an eighth week at Number 1 with their massive hit Wannabe. The song is one of the fastest-scoring singles of all time, reaching Platinum status within eight weeks only. The ladies now match Take That, Guus Meeuwis and Vagant for the record  ‘Single with the Most Weeks at Number 1’. If the Spice Girls were to maintain their position next week, they would become the sole record-holders.

Swedish band the Cardigans score their first Top 10-entry with Lovefool. Their musical style is known to change every album, now focusing on indie-pop. That style is certainly effective, as the Cardigans peak at Number 4 this week.

Total Touch score their second Top 10-hit with Somebody Else’s Lover. The Dutch duo has peaked within the Top 10 earlier this year with Touch Me There, which peaked at Number 4 and was certified Gold. Group member Trijntje Oosterhuis shortly endeavored a solo career, entering the list with the small hit De Zee. The group’s newest soulful ballad peaks at Number 9 this week.

Toni Braxton scores the highest debut of the week. The American vocalist already entered the list with You’re Makin’ Me High, which peaked at Number 16 and was a minor hit. The singer is often compared to the likes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. When Toni Braxton was younger, the talented teen was a member of a group consisting of her and her sisters. Now, solo and thriving, she debuts at Number 25 with Un-Break My Heart.
