Join Juliet and Ed in their musical time machine as they travel back thirty years exactly to count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 27th October 1996.

Last time out, the all-conquering Spice Girls had toppled Boyzone from the summit with 'Say You'll Be There'. Can they make it a second week at number one? There's huge songs from Toni Braxton and East 17 ft. Gabrielle to contend with, plus new singles from Madonna, Space, Alisha's Attic, Reef, Livin' Joy, R.E.M., Lightning Seeds and the Presidents Of The United States Of America! Oh, and a completely baffling cover of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'...
