These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
Guus Meeuwis & Vagant - Het Is Een Nacht
We began with a Dutch act singing in Dutch. This was the Dutch Top 40 debut for Guue Meeuwis & Vagant and it was a chart topper. They also managed to top the Dutch Top 40 with their 2nd hit but that didn't come until 1996. Guus Meeuwis has had a Dutch Top 40 hit as recent as 2020. He's never had a UK Top 40 hit though he is popular enough in London at least to play the Royal Albert Hall.
Flair are described on Discogs as a Dutch party group. It sounds like the sort of record you'd hear on Eurotrash. Despite the Dutch title they start singing in English but then start singing in Dutch part way through the song. As most Dutch people can speak English I guess that works.
This was originally a hit in the 60s for the Singing Nun who was Belgian. This is a Dutch Eurodance cover with with some rapping added in. It's a cheesy as you'd expect it to be.
Sin with Sebastian - Shut Up (And Sleep With Me)
E Rotic weren't the only German Eurodance act making explicit record in 1995. Sin with Sebastian was one man who also did a bit of rapping on the record. This was his only Dutch Top 40 hit.
Jordan Hill - Remember Me This Way
If you've seen Caspar then you'll probably be familiar with this record. I say probably because I've never seen the film myself but this is in it. That said the record does ring a vague bell. It was the only Dutch Top 40 hit for American singer Jordan Hill and she never had a UK Top 40 hit.
This record has nothing to do with Superman. Lois Lane were a Dutch duo consisting of sisters Monique and Suzanne Klemann. They had their first Dutch Top 40 hit in 1988 and this was their penultimate Dutch Top 40 hit.
