These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
Rene Froger & Friends - You've Got A Friend
Rene Froger's friends here are Marco Borsatto, Ruth Jacott and the Frogettes. I get the impression that Rene Froger and Marco Borsatto were just about the biggest names in Holland at the time and this collaboration would have number 1 written all over it but it only managed number 3. Maybe because they're singing in English. As you might have guessed it's a cover of the Carole King record.
Paul Elstak - Rainbow In the Sky
Some more happy hardcore from Paul Elstak. This was played a lot at the raves at the time, one set in particular that I remember was DJ Vibes at Helter Skelter NYE 96 where he opened with this and as a result I think of what Live Lee was saying over it when I'm listening.
Here we have one of many examples of a non-musician getting into the Dutch Top 40. Henny Huisman is a TV presenter most notably for Soundmixshow which is a Dutch version of Stars in their Eyes. He also presented Surpriseshow which is the Dutch version of Surprise Surprise. I gather this is supposed to be a novelty record about a horse.
