Dutch Top 40 1995: Week 35

These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:

Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Stars

If it wasn't for Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo I probably wouldn't be doing these posts. This was a record I first heard when a mate did a happy hardcore mix. It was also a record that DJ Vibes would play out regularly at the time. When YouTube became a thing I started discovering videos I never knew existed and I have to say I found this particular video quite disturbing.

Gordon - Omdat Ik Zo Van Je Hou

We've seen Dutch singer Gordon twice already this year and both times he was doing songs in English. This time he's singing in Dutch and it sort of makes sense why. It's a cover of "Tu M'Aimes Encore" by Celine Dion which is in French so I guess there's no point in doing it in English if it was never in English in the first place.

Gerard Joling - Zing Met Me Mee

On the basis of this video it would appear that Gerard Joling had a huge following in Holland give the number of people there and the fact they're all singing along. His Dutch Top 40 career began in 1985 and he had hits as recently as 2013. This was his final Top 40 hit of the 90s. He's also a TV presenter in Holland.

Andre Hazes - Leven Op T Plein

We last saw Andre Hazes in the first Top 40 of the year. He's a Dutch singer with 36 albums and 55 singles to his name and was almost 2 decades into his Dutch Top 40 career at this point.
