Take That becomes the first ever boy group to hit Number 1

British boy band Take That climbs to Number 1 with Back For Good. The group is the first ever boy group to top the charts. They dethrone Alice, Who The X Is Alice? by Gompie, which spent two weeks at Number 1.

The newest chart-topper does face strong competition. Wet Wet Wet score their highest-peaking single to date with Julia Says, reaching Number 2. Their previous single, Love Is All Around, peaked at Number 3.

Two new singles enter the Top 10. Dutch rapper T.O.F. enters the list at Number 7 with Funk It Up. Joan Osborne jumps to the Top 10 with One Of Us, entering at Number 9. The single was one of the strongest gainers of the last few weeks.

For another week, Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis is the strongest gainer of the week. The single keeps on climbing, all the way to a new peak of Number 17. The song jumps nine places.

For a second week, So In Love With You by Duke is the biggest dropper of the week. The single drops seven places, having peaked at Number 11.

The highest debut of the week is scored by Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? By Bryan Adams. The singer has not entered the list before, making this his first ever entry on the charts. He debuts at Number 27.

Ex-Number 1 Alice, Who The X Is Alice? by Gompie is certified Gold this week. This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan is also certified Gold. His single peaked at Number 2. TLC receive a Platinum Certification for Creep. The single was the first Number 1-hit by a girl group and spent two weeks above the list.
