Zig-a-zig-ah! The Spice Girls jump to their first Number 1

The Spice Girls climb to the top with their hit Wannabe. The group, consisting of Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chilsom and Victoria Adams, was formed in 1995 under the management of Virgin Records and are now debuting on the music scene. Their single has already reached Number 1 in multiple European countries, including the United Kingdom. The ladies dethrone Céline Dion, who has spent two weeks crowning the list with It’s All Coming Back To Me Now.

Gabrielle scores her first Top 10-entry with Give Me A Little More Time. The British singer has scored a minor hit earlier last year with Dreams, which peaked at Number 17, but no bigger hits followed. Give Me A Little More Time initially climbs to Number 9 this week, making it her first proper hit. The song is her best-scoring single to date with over 18,000 points.

OMC scores the highest entry of the week. OMC stands for the Otara Millionaires Club, which is a New Zealand music group. The group enters with How Bizarre, which became an immediate smash hit in New Zealand, even without an initial video. The single starts its journey at Number 22 on this list.

Three single receive Gold Certifications this week: Touch Me There by Total Touch, Margherita by Marco Borsato and Get Down (You’re the One for Me) by the Backstreet Boys.
