The Pretenders go Number 1

British-American rock band The Pretenders climb to Number 1 with I’ll Stand By You. The group is the first ever Britsh act to reach Number 1. The chart-topper knocks Creep by TLC off the top, which spent two weeks above the list. Whigfield maintains her record for ‘Single with the Most Weeks at Number 1’, as Saturday Night remains undefeated with four weeks.

The new Number 1’s reign does not come unthreatened though, as Céline Dion comes dangerously close with Think Twice. The song is becoming a big hit across the world, reaching Number 1 in the United Kingdom. Here Comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze also keeps climbing, peaking at Number 4.

The Captain Hollywood Project scores his first Top 10-hit with Flying High. He enters the list at Number 9. Two boy groups only just miss out on the Top 10; Boyzone reaches Number 11 with Love Me For a Reason and MN8 peaks at Number 12 with I've Got a Little Something for You.

This week does not feature any big droppers, with the two biggest being On Bended Knee by Boys II Men and Basket Case by Green Day, of which the latter is currently charting within the Top 10. Both songs drop five places.

The highest debut of the week is scored by Annie Lennox. The British singer celebrates her first entry on the list with No More “I Love You”s. The song begins its journey at Number 22. Other new entries include This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan and Funk It Up by T.O.F.
