These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
Andre Van Duin - De Buurtsuper
As we head towards the end of the year one of my observations of the Dutch Top 40 in 1995 is the sheer quantity of novelty records. I know we have our fair share in the UK but it feels like the Dutch had many more. Here's another example, it's from a comedian in Dutch but you can tell from the lack of proper singing that it's a novelty record.
We've had all sorts in the Dutch Top 40 in 1995, from happy hardcore to Eurodance, from novelty records to carnival music. One thing we're yet to have is Dutch hip hop, until now. This was the Dutch Top 40 debut for Extince and his biggest hit. Given rap has a lot to do with lyrics it's going to be extra difficult to score a hit in Dutch outside of Holland.
One thing I've learnt about T-Spoon is that you don't really know what way the record is going to go. This is very much going in the Eurodance direction, almost bordering on happy hardcore but being a bit too soft. Perhaps a bit more predictable is the male rapped verse and female sung chorus.
