The Spice Girls keep the Blue Boy off Number 1

The Spice Girls score a second week at Number 1 with the heartfelt hit Mama. The song is the girls’ fifth Number 1-hit on the list, following successes such as Wannabe and Who Do You Think You Are. The girls face strong competition from the Blue Boy, as his single Remember Me follows closely at Number 2. “Blue Boy” is a pseudonym for Alexis 'Lex' Blackmore, a Scottish DJ. After having worked under various guises, Blackmore established the Blue Boy name in 1995 with the single Ascension.

The Kelly Family score their second Top 10-entry Fell in Love with an Alien. The Kelly Family sure is an odd one out, as the group consists of multi-generational family. The group has scored big hits in Germany, Portugal, the Benelux-countries and other European countries. Their signature-hit Fell in Love with an Alien peaks at Number 7 this week. This is the Kelly Family’s highest-peaking single to date, beating I Can't Help Myself (I Love You, I Want You)’s peak at Number 10.

Katja Schuurman scores her first Top 10-entry with Wereldmeid. The song serves as a promotional single for the Dutch computer company Laser. Katja Schuurman was a member of the highly successful Dutch girl group Linda, Roos & Jessica, with whom she scored big hits such as the 2 x Platinum-certified single Ademnood. In the group, Katja Schuurman fulfilled the role of “Jessica”. Alongside with her singles she released as a group, Wereldmeid is Katja her fourth Top 10-entry. Her newest solo entry peaks at Number 10 this week.
