Gina G writes Eurovision Song Contest-history with her first ever Number 1

Gina G becomes the first ever Eurovision Song Contest-contestant to reach Number 1 on this list. Her hit Ooh Aah...Just a Little Bit will represent the United Kingdom at the 1996 Contest. Gina G dethrones Peter Andre, who spent one week at Number 1 with Mysterious Girl. The last song to spend only one week at Number 1 is Fairground by Simply Red, who crowned the list in November 1995.

Mariah Carey scores her fourth Top 10-hit with Emotions. The American singer entered the Top 10 earlier with her Number 1-hits, Fantasy and One Sweet Day, and her Christmas-hit All I Want For Christmas Is You. Her newest song peaks at Number 6 this week.

German Eurodance-act Captain Jack scores the highest debut of the week with Soldier Soldier. The group already scored a Number 1-hit with their self-titled success Captain Jack. Their newest single begins its journey at Number 18.

Marco Borsato earns a Gold Certification for Vrij Zijn. The single peaked at Number 2 earlier this year and was kept off the top by Los Del Rio’s Macarena. This is the Dutch singer’s fourth Gold Certification, following Waarom Nou Jij (#2), Je Hoeft Niet Naar Huis Vannacht (#2) and Ik Leef Niet Meer Voor Jou (#1), of which the latter two received Platinum Certifications.
