These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
Cheers - Alice Ik Geef Geen X Om Alice (Living Next Door To Alice)
It seemed liked everyone was jumping on the Alice bandwagon in 1995. I cannot find any information about Cheers but I gather they were Dutch and this is the only thing they seemed to do. It's exactly the same song as "Living Next Door To Alice" but with Dutch lyrics.
Captain Hollywood Project - Find Another Way
We've already learned that Germany based America Captain Hollywood was having hits in Holland after his UK Top 40 career had ended. This record is the end of his chart career in the Dutch Top 40. It's a shame really because he's doing a happy hardcore record here. Yes a cheesy sped up Eurodance type happy hardcore record, but no more cheesy than you're average Bonkers record really.
We say hello to Dutch rock band De Dijk again having previously seen them in the 3rd week. It will be the last time we see them too with their next hit coming in 1997.
Corry Konings - Schenk Me Deze Ene Nacht
I guess all countries have their artists who have quite a prolific chart career in their homeland but are virtually unknown elsewhere. Here's an example of this, Corry Konings make her Dutch Top 40 debut in 1969 and her most recent hit came in 1999. This was her only effort of 1995. It's reminding me of the first time I saw live music at the pub. When I say live music, I mean 1 singer and a tape machine.
Koos Alberts - Amsterdamse Hitmedley
They sure like their medleys in Holland and here's another one. It was the only Dutch Top 40 hit of 1995 for Koos Alberts. He had a solitary hit in 1994 too with a medley. Go back to the 80s and he was having hits with Corry Konings above.
