Hail, Lifers! Join Juliet and Ed once again as they travel back in time thirty years to count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was revealed on 12th May 1996!

It was two weeks at the top for George Michael last time out, but this week there are 14 new entries vying to knock him off the top, including singles from Smashing Pumpkins, Horace Brown, JX, Underworld, Soundgarden, Lisa Moorish, White Zombie and Rebekah Ryan. And if that wasn't enough, there are not one but TWO novelty football singles: one good, one not quite as good...

Join Juliet and Ed in their musical time machine as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced thirty years ago exactly, on 5th May 1996!

This episode, there are 15 new entries we'll be checking out, including from Blur, Luniz, Klubbheads, The Bluetones, Sting, Alex Reece, a remix of S'Express and chart debuts for Busta Rhymes, Super Furry Animals and 911! All of which are looking to displace George Michael's 'Fastlove' from the summit.
