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.
