Join Juliet and Ed as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 24th March 1996! A stacked week of new entries, with 18 new singles vying to displace Take That from the top after three long weeks. Among them: Cast, Dubstar, Ken Doh, Mary J Blige, Wet Wet Wet, The Prodigy, PJ & Duncan and even Prince Naseem and the theme tune to the X Files! There's also the opportunity for the presenters to gush lovingly about one of their favourite bands of all time...

Join Juliet and Ed as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 17th March 1996. Where we left it last week, Take That's final single from their original incarnation was ensconced at Number 1 for a second week, but this time out there are 15 new entries - including singles from Madonna, Garbage, DJ Misjah & DJ Tim, Tina Turner, Shaggy and Tori Amos - looking to dislodge it. Furthermore, there's a high-profile battle of Britpop ballads between Menswear and Shed Seven, both aiming for the summit.
