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

New entries from Mr Blobby (yes, he made another song), the cast of Coronation St., the Childliners and Michael Barrymore (yes, really).
