Travel back thirty years exactly with Juliet and Ed as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 21st July 1996!

Where we left it last time, a newly solo Gary Barlow had gone straight to number one with 'Forever Love', somehow keeping the Spice Girls' debut single off the top in the process. You suspect that won't be the case for long, though... but we'll see!

There's new singles this week from Mark Morrison, 2Pac, Tina Turner, Pato Banton, Josh Wink, Lush, Nightcrawlers, Apollo 440, Alex Reece, Julian Cope and Joyrider, all trying to reach the summit.
