These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
In 1996 The Smurfs returned to the UK Top 40 for the first time since the 70s. Just before that at the end of 1995 they bid farewell to the Dutch Top 40. This final hit from them is their own version of another record that was still in the Dutch Top 40 this week - "Het Busje Komt Zo" by Hollenboer which as a reminder is a novelty record about a bus sung in Dutch.
Alejandro Sanz - La Fuerza Del Corazon
I'm seeing conflicting information about Alejandro Sanz. When you look at his discography on his Wikipedia page I count 19 number ones in his native Spain which made me think has anyone had more? Then I looked at the list of artists with a Spanish number one and that list states he only had 4. Anyway this is about the Dutch charts so I refrained digging any further. His Dutch chart record doesn't even feature on his Wikipedia page but this was his only Dutch Top 40 hit as main artist and this only made 31 so barely worth mentioning.
Cast your mind back to earlier on in the year you may remember Vanessa did a duet with Northern Irish musician David McWilliams with "Candlelight". To recap, she's a Dutch singer whose real name is Cornelia. This would be her final Dutch Top 40 hit after a 14 year run.
