These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
Andre Rieu - Geen House Maar Strauss
When this entered the Top 40 Andre Rieu was higher up the charts with his previous hit "The Second Waltz". Although this never charted and has a Dutch title that probably means nothing if you're English, if you take a listen you'll probably recognise it. I'm sure it was on an advert at the time.
Captain Hollywood Project - Flying High
Captain Hollywood is an American rapper based in Germany who was one of the first Eurodance acts to chart in the UK. He fronted Dutch act Twenty 4 Seven and had a Top 10 with "I Can't Stand It" in 1990. He had a minor follow up with Twenty 4 Seven and a couple of minor hits of his own in the UK with the final one coming in 1994. In Holland though, this was his biggest hit.
Here we have some Eurodance from the most unlikely of countries, Argentina. TNN stands for The New Nation. They'd already had their big hit in Holland the previous year and this I guess was their lesser known other hit.
Willeke & Willy Alberti - De Glimlach Van Een Kind
Willy Alberti was a Dutch singer who originally had a hit with this record in 1968. He passed away in 1985 and this version is a posthumous collaboration with his daughter Willeke. I guess you could say it's the Dutch equivalent of "Unforgettable" by Natalie and Nat 'King' Cole.
