Simon Selects Radio Show

19/06/2026

Next week marks 30 years since the Spice Girls released their first single 'Wannabe' which changed music history. Seriously where has the time gone?

They were also the first band that I fully loved - and had a crush on Baby Spice at the age of 8! 🤣

So on next Monday's show, we're throwing back to the year 1996 and see what other songs were big in the charts that year (and maybe a few forgotten gems too!)

What were you doing in 1996? What songs can you remember loving? 🤔

With Paul McCartney releasing his new album today 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane', it's made us think about other songs that mention different street names - could be an avenue, a road or a lane too!
