17 - Alanis Morissette - Forgiven
18.- Everclear - Santa Monica
19.- Alanis Morissette - Right Through You (DEBUT)
20.- Vanessa Williams - Where Do We Go From Here? (DEBUT)

I had a tendency to debut songs that i had only heard once, and sometimes I never had the chance of a second listen and they debuted, so that's a reason for many of those re-appearances in my chart. Dishwalla re-debut with the great song "Counting Blue Cars", but this time, i taped a live version which was superior to the studio version, so it had more chances to succeed. Another mini-invasion from Alanis morissette and finally Vanessa Williams debuts at 20.

Incredible, "Back for good" is finally out! At 9, Robbie Williams, also a former Take That'er began his solo career with this George Michael cover "Freedom". At 15, we have one of the 90's sensations, Spice Girls with "Wannabe". You can't help but notice that during the video, 4 of the 5 girls sing a part, except Victoria. Anyway, and a new domination is taking place (one of many to come by different artists) as Céline Dion debuts at 12, 18 and 20, all 3 songs from her Grammy award winner album "Falling Into You". Which in fact, was my album of the year of 1996... Thank what you want about it jajajaja

18.- Take That - How Deep Is Your Love?
19.- Gin Blossoms - Til I Hear It From You
20.- Alanis Morissette - You Learn

Pet Shop Boys have the highest debut with a song that for me, came and went so fast. It was catchy, but really forgettable. Then, a position lower, Alanis Morissette continued milking her album with her 5th single "Head Over Feet". In the 15, Neneh Cherry debuts with "Woman", probably her last hit. At 16 we have Metallica with more soft metal jajajaja "Hero Of The Day". And finally at 17, Eros Ramazzotti re-debuts with "Stella Gemella", this time he's back... with a vengeance!

So, I finally listened to "Nobody Else", the album, and being the obsessed teenager I was, I had to chart songs from there, so two debuts from that album in this week. At 7, Céline returns with the songs that gives title to her 1996 album, "Falling Into You" and at number 12, a replace to "You Learn", the song "Wake Up" by Alanis Morissette.

19.- Mike Oldfield - With This (???????)
20.- Eros Ramazzotti - Stella Gemella (DEBUT)

That damn Alanis refuses to go down... the chart! jajaja Anyway, Sin With Sebastian, he was kinda laughable because his music was ridiculous, but I fell for it jajajaja. however "He Belongs To Me" was not as bad, it was a little bit cool. Then, at 16, Peter Andre. All over the internet, people hate him, but i just don't see why. I bought his album "Natural" and at the time, I liked it, now, I gave it away. But the music was nowhere near enough as bad as people claim it is... who knows. Here, with "Mysterious Girl" (from the album "Natural"). Ahh, rappers in my chart?? a sight to behold. And finally, the brilliant second single from the then current Eros Ramazzotti album, the song "Stella Gemella". Even if the video was kinda boring, I looooved it.

18.- Tina Turner & Sting - On Silent Wings (DEBUT)
19.- Gloria Estéfan - Reach
20.- Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack

Aww, at number 5, we have an awesome song "As Long As It Matters" by Gin Blossoms, really beautiful. Too bad that their album from 2006 was such a disappointment. At 6, another Take That song I had heard "Relight My Fire". At 10, the awesome third single from "Older" by George Michael, a really elegant album full of great songs. Jan Arden tries a second chance to conquer the chart debuting again at 14. And my beautiful Tori Amos also debuts with "Silent All These Years", a song I had heard before, but didn't remember. I was watching a tv show where they showed more or less old videos and they showed this one, so I had to chart it... even if only for a week. Then, help me out here, a Mike Oldfield song debuts at 16, the radio host introduced the song something like 'And here it is Mike Oldfield with this' So, i was like... with this what? wait, maybe that's the name of the song! So it stuck, I have listened some Mike Oldfield albums and the song is not on any of those, so my quest to find the name of it is still ongoing. And finally, at 18, Tina Turner with the featured vocals of Sting.

20.- Dog's Eye View - Everything Falls Apart

What else could be expected from the former leader of Take That, once they disbanded? Going solo? Check. Having a number one hit in my chart? Also check. "Forever Love" is indeed a sweet ballad, I still have fond memories of it to this day, so it's not that bad. And at number 5, a latin sensation, well, I think they were american, but from Florida or something. No Mercy, a singer and a couple of twins making choruses. The song "Where Do you Go?" was so successful, that it even had a spanish version! I remember it like yesterday: 'Where do you do?... a donde?... where do you go?' jajajajaj, fun times. Then, a lot lower, Color Me Bad, a boy band from the early 90's trying to survive in the modern world... didn't succeed. But this song was pretty. And finally, Toni Braxton with "You're Makin' Me High" a common R&B song.

As the legend said, "Til I Hear It from You" comes back after a lousy performance many weeks before. Now, I had the song in my posession, so i could listen to it whenever I wanted, excellent song. At 17, Hootie And The Blowfish, and well, I can't even remember how the song goes jajajaja. And finally, another one of those rock-pop songs I liked so much and still like, "She Came On" by Super De Luxe. I don't know anything about them, but the song was cool.

It's sickening watching that insane obsession I had with Take That! They were not bad, but come on! I watched the video for "It Only Takes A Minute" once and it debutes at number one! And the songs was from their first album. Oh well. Then, the song that should have made Joan Osborne a one hit wonder debuts at numbebr 17, "St. Theresa", this one doesn't have that awful intro, and it's much more interesting.

"Fable" by Robert Miles debuts at number one. This song was also in the same line as "Children" but with some incidental vocals like "Tell me a fable" and such. He was very popular around that time. At 7, the failure "Wild Days", i think that song only charted with me and nowhere else in the world jajajaja. And at number 9 (wow, 3 high debuts this week) someone who says he's called DJ Dado... or something like that.

"Return Of The Mack" was catchy back then. Now? it's horrible. And if OBK scored a hit with "Nada Soy Sin Ti", why not with another single? "Mi Razón De Ser" enters the chart, great electronic, dance, pop and techno music.

The mystery reigns this chart. Who is Sax? How do you even write it? I remember hearing that song and thinking it was great, so, when I got internet, I started a hunt for the song, but never found anything about it. Maybe it's spelled wrong, or maybe that song is product of my imagination, we'll never know. Amistades Peligrosas enter to the chart again, with the same song. And old crappy song by Oasis too and "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla, this last one, being a great great song.
