Juliet and Ed run the rule over new singles from Green Day, Pizzaman, Dubstar, The Presidents of the United States of America and Madonna.

A very happy 1996 (and 2026) to all you Lifers!

All is calm, all is bright... except for the UK Top 40 Singles Chart on Christmas Eve in 1995, where an easy listening lounge music cover of an Oasis smash is looking to knock the seemingly immovable 'Earth Song' off the top in the race for Christmas Number 1!

Not a whole lot else in the charts this week... but Juliet and Ed are still here to count down the Top 40, which you can listen to here via our Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vGic7316I8C9jvFD62XiO

Christmas is descending upon us at an alarming rate, but the avalanche of novelty nonsense is nearly behind us, fortunately! Join Juliet and Ed as they count down the UK Top 40 Singles Chart as it was announced on 17th December 1995 - eleven new entries this week, including from Corona, Queen, Levellers, L.V. and... somebody who may or may not be Frank Bruno.
