Join Juliet and Ed as they travel back in time by thirty years to count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 18th August 1996!

Where we left it last time, the Spice Girls had made it an uninterrupted month at the top of the chart with their all-slaying debut single 'Wannabe'. This week, however, there are new entries from Aaliyah, Backstreet Boys, Bryan Adams, Pet Shop Boys, The Divine Comedy, Ant & Dec, Gloria Estefan and the heavyweight collab between Michael Jackson and his nephews 3T - all looking to top the charts.

Join Juliet and Ed as they count down the Top 40 from thirty years ago, namely the chart as it was announced on 11th August 1996 - the same weekend that Oasis headlined Knebworth!

Last time out, the Spice Girls were enjoying a third consecutive week at the top with their debut smash 'Wannabe'. This week, there are 13 new entries vying to displace them, including new singles from Paul Weller, Nas, OMD, Pearl Jam, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Coolio, My Life Story, Sepultura and Crowded House, plus a deliriously silly Britpop supergroup fronted by Blur's Alex James, and a Disney song by Eternal.
