| 9 | EAT MY GOAL - Collapsed Lung | Collapsed Lung | 30-2 |
| 10 | JUNGLE BROTHER - Jungle Brothers | 38-2 |
A mix of novelty hits from Arsenal and Collapsed Lung rub shoulders with rising stars Hinda Hicks, Adam Garcia and Air. Both Massive Attack and the Smashing Pumpkins might have hoped for better positions than this, but both are mainly album, not single, acts. Anchoring the 10 is the first Jungle Brothers hit since 1990, proving that they're not dead.

Shania, the Backstreets, All Saints and Janet all survive from last month. Note that Eric Clapton's very minor hit has proven remarkably persistant. Natalie Imbruglia places all three of her releases somewhere on these charts.

Last month's leader Billie Meyers retains a place in the top 10. Savage Garden hold static at 21 hearings, but lose two places. Leann, though, improves from 19 plays, and rises six places. Madonna replaces her old song with her newie, while the Lighthouse Family returns to the listings after just missing last month.
