These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
With Eurodance being as big as it was in the 90s it made perfect sense for German music mogul Frank Farian to jump on the bandwagon. The result was this Germany based American duo who managed to even crack America itself with their big hit "Be My Lover". This was the follow up single that's actually quite different. It's a cover of the Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds record that was nowhere near as successful as its predecessor anywhere.
Frans Bauer - N Dag Uit Duizend Dromen
It's Dutch singer Frans Bauer again for the 3rd time this year. It's exactly what you expect it to be, a gentle song with a karaoke sounding backing track and sung in Dutch. We will be seeing him once more this year with something I expect to be similar.
In 1995 there was nobody bigger in the UK charts than the Outhere Brothers but there wasn't really anyone else making similar music. In Holland though we had this record which is similar. We did however have Porn Kings vs Flip & Fill do a version that hit the UK Top 40 in 2003.
Critical Mass - Dancing Together
Here's some happy hardcore. Critical Mass is a name I'm familiar with via "Burning Love" which hit the Dutch Top 40 in 1996 and was played at UK raves. I don't ever recall hearing this particular record though. It's not as good as "Burning Love" but it pleasant enough.
