QUOTE Cast your mind back 19 years to the sound of summer, that hit that was never off the radio. Having trouble remembering? Shall we refresh your Mmmemory? Back in 1997, three wholesome looking brothers caused a global sensation with their debut single MmmBop, which smashed straight to the top of the Official Singles Chart this week in 1997. Thanks to a particularly good start to the summer – don't let anybody tell you Brits' music purchases aren't influenced by the weather – the super-catchy, sunny vibe of the song helped it stay at Number 1 for three sizzling weeks. MmmBop is the one everyone remembers, but Hanson did go on to have more hits – eight Top 40s in all, including a couple of quick comebacks in 2000 and 2005. Their debut album Middle Of Nowhere also topped the chart for a week. We last saw them in 2007, when they just missed the Top 40 with Go. MORE: See all Hanson's UK chart hit singles and albums MmmBop has a chart sales tally of 758,000, and was the 11th biggest selling single of 1997. There's still a bit of love out there for MmmBop – over 600 of you have downloaded it so far this year. Here's that week's frankly fantastic Top 10. Click on the image to see the full Top 100. Elsewhere in the Top 10, it was �� for Eternal, deposed from the top spot after just a week with their one and only Number 1 I Wanna Be The Only One (feat. Bebe Winans). Radiohead's Paranoid Android scored the Oxford band a new personal best at Number 3 – it's their highest-charting single to date. Further down the chart, Gina G returned with Ti Amo and Marilyn Manson was new at 18 with Beautiful People, which would one day become the theme tune to WWE SmackDown. Let's relive the mmmagic of MmmBop, and prommmise never to do that lammme joke with mmm ever again. 01 [NEW] Hanson - MmmBop 02 [01] Eternal - I Wanna Be The Only One [feat. Bebe Winans] 03 [NEW] Radiohead - Paranoid Android 04 [02] Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro) 05 [04] Rosie Gaines - Closer Than Close 06 [03] Olive - You're Not Alone 07 [05] Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You 08 [06] The Cardigans - Lovefool 09 [NEW] Sneaker Pimps - Six Underground 10 [NEW] Toby Bourke & George Michael - Waltz Away Dreaming 11 [NEW] Gina G - Ti Amo 16 [NEW] New Edition - Something About You 18 [NEW] Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People 22 [NEW] Bush - Greedy Fly 25 [NEW] Korn - Good God 27 [NEW] Daniel O'Donnell - The Love Songs EP 31 [NEW] World Party - Beautiful Dream 35 [NEW] Sounds Of Blackness & Craig Mack - Spirit 36 [NEW] Nothern Uproar - Any Way You Look 38 [NEW] Tindersticks - Bathtime 39 [NEW] Ben Folds Five - Kate 40 [56] Spice Girls - Mama / Who Do You Think You Are Personal faves from that top 10 have to be Olive and Rembrandts  big 90s tuunes!

^^^ seconded! I really long for a chart full of new tracks, maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with new entries.

Hanson rule. However it seems impossible that this was 19 years ago. I feel old.

Aw I love Eternal. If I remember correctly, Eternal spend 3 weeks at No.2 behind Hanson.
So if it wasn't for Hanson, Eternal would have been No.1 for 4 weeks!! Anyway, it's a brilliant top 10. I love 90's music! |

'Mmmbop' came close to being #1 when I was born.
 I ended up with the song that replaced it at number 1 'I'll Be Missing You' instead. So much goodness in that top 10! 'Closer Than Close', 'You're Not Alone' and 'Lovefool' are all sublime. |
