Spice Girls set for sixteenth week at Number 1

The Spice Girls extend their reign at Number 1 for a sixteenth consecutive week. They have already spent ten weeks at the top with Wannabe and are now entering their sixth week above the list with Say You’ll Be There. The group has been the clear breakthrough act of the year. With only two singles, they managed to break massive records and score one of the best-scoring singles of all time.

En Vogue score their first Top 10-single with Don’t Let Go (Love). The American R&B-girl group has entered the list before with minor hits that peaked within the Top 40, including Whatta Man and Giving Him Something He Can Feel. Their newest single has become their highest-peaking single to date. The ladies peak at Number 9 this week.

Belgian Eurodance-act Paradisio enters the Top 10 with Bailando. The group, led by singer María Isabel García Asensio, has not entered the Top 10 before. Other Belgian acts have preceded them though, the most notable one being Clouseau with Passie, which peaked at Number 3 and was certified Gold. Paradisio finishes at Number 10 this week.

Dune scores the highest debut of the week. The German hardcore-act has entered the list before with two other singles, with the most notable one being Hardcore Vibes. That happy hardcore-track peaked at Number 8 in July 1995. Their follow-up, Hand In Hand, did not live up to its predecessor. Its newest single Who Wants To Live Forever, which is a cover of the original by Queen, is off to a strong start however, as the single debuts at Number 19 this week.
