Spice Girls remain unstoppable at Number 1 for a fifteenth week + “Wannabe” celebrates 2 x Platinum

The Spice Girls celebrate a fifth week at Number 1 with Say You’ll Be There. In total, the British girl group has spent fifteen weeks crowning the list. Their previous chart-topper Wannabe has been such a big success, that the single receives a 2 x Platinum Certification for having scored over 120,000 points. Only five other singles have achieved this feat.

British rock group Garbage enter the Top 10 with Milk. This is the band’s second Top 10-entry, following Only Happy When It Rains that peaked at Number 10 in November 1995. In total, the group has already signed five Top 40-hits to their name. The band’s newest single climbs to Number 8 this week, making it their highest-peaking single to date.

Boyzone scores the highest debut of the week. The Irish boy group has already become a massive success on the list, scoring five Top 10-hits. Their highest-peaking single to date was their previous entry Words, which peaked at Number 3 this week. Additionally, the group has received two Gold Certifications for Love Me for a Reason and So Good. Their newest song A Different Beat begins at Number 14.
