I Think They Thought They Were Quite Cool - 17th March 1996 (Ep31)

from ChartLife · host Juliet Harris and Ed Biggs

Join Juliet and Ed as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 17th March 1996. Where we left it last week, Take That's final single from their original incarnation was ensconced at Number 1 for a second week, but this time out there are 15 new entries - including singles from Madonna, Garbage, DJ Misjah & DJ Tim, Tina Turner, Shaggy and Tori Amos - looking to dislodge it. Furthermore, there's a high-profile battle of Britpop ballads between Menswear and Shed Seven, both aiming for the summit.
