Spice Girls wannabe at Number 1 for a third week

The Spice Girls remain at Number 1 for a third week with their massive hit Wannabe. The ladies face strong competition from Robbie Williams, who sits at Number 2 for a third week with Freedom. There is an upside for the ex-Take That singer though, as Freedom receives a Gold Certification this week.

British band Jamiroquai score their first Top 10-entry with Virtual Insanity. The group, led by Jay Kay, is a big success in the United Kingdom, having scored several hits such as Too Young to Die. Jamiroquai finishes at Number 8 this week.

Carly Simon rebounds to the Top 10 with You’re So Vain. The singer has already peaked at Number 8 earlier last month, but she returns for a third week within the Top 10. She finishes at Number 10 exactly this week.

The Fugees score their highest debut of the week. The American group has already signed two big hits to their name this year, including Fu-Gee-La and the chart-topping Killing Me Softly with his Song. The latter is on its way to become one of 1996’s biggest hits. Their newest effort, Ready or Not, begins at Number 15.

Many songs receive certifications this week. Guus Meeuwis and Vagant receive a Gold Certification for Zo Ver Weg (#4), Robbie Williams receives a Gold Certification for Freedom (#1), Gary Barlow receives a Gold Certification for Forever Love (#2) and Céline Dion receives a Gold Certification for It’s All Coming Back to Me Now (#1). Peter Andre receives a Platinum Certification for Mysterious Girl (#1).
