There was also no change at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart as Mariah Carey and Westlife’s "Against All Odds" hung on to the top spot for another week. Zombie Nation’s "Kernkraft 400" also stayed at No. 2 for a second week in a row.

The highest new singles entry this week was achieved by dance group the Architects featuring Nana, whose singles “Body Groove” debuted at No. 3. They beat Spice Girl Melanie B's solo single "Tell Me," which debuted at No. 4.
