| 10 | MAKE IT HOT - Nicole | Hit 'em Wit d' Hee | 39-1 |
Late month releases from Madonna, Faithless, Crow and Tintinout join the usual minor hit fodder. Notable are the presence of the Goo Goo Dolls, entering the monthly survey without selling at all well, and Sarah MacLachlan - her single's not out till mid-September. And there's no shifting the Supernaturals, #6 for the second straight month.

Well, the Spices hit the top with exactly double their score last month. The top two are now jointly number 3. Two extra plays for Brandy and Monica still costs them a place. And there are a couple of film themes, and acts from Australia and Iceland in there to boot.
