Welcome back to the Nineties, where we're counting down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 30th June 1996! Where we left it last week, Fugees' 'Killing Me Softly' was spending a fourth week at the top, seemingly increasing its sales every week.

This episode, however, we have 11 new entries all vying for the top spot, including singles from Bon Jovi, Ash, Reel 2 Real, Alison Limerick, Green Day, Electronic, Poltergeist, Bizarre Inc., Zee and Kula Shaker - plus, a rather unusual instance of a novelty single performed by two actresses that is actually quite good.

This week, however, there are new singles from Everything But The Girl, Upside Down, MC Lyte, The Divine Comedy, Black Grape, Deuce, The Wildhearts, Beck, The Cure, Love Tribe, Gemini, Strike and Queen all bidding for the top spot.

Fugees were enjoying a second week at the top of the charts last time round, but this week there are 16 new entries all aiming for the summit, including new singles from Gabrielle, Mariah Carey, Crowded House, Let Loose, Simply Red, Longpigs and Shakespears Sister. There's also a new track from Chartlife antihero Shaggy collaborating with Maxi Priest, and there's a highly entertaining football song from Collapsed Lung.
