Deezer have this week released statistics after tracking streaming figures for the past 12 months relating to the top-selling tracks of 1996, which reveals reunion rumours surrounding Oasis and the Spice Girls allow 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Wannabe' to make up two of the top five songs streaming in the past year from 1996 charts. Streams from these two singles alone make up an entire quarter of the total streams from the top 20 list.

Deezer's UK and Ireland Music Editor, Sam Lee comments: "Everything always has a way of coming back around, and we're seeing a huge resurgence with all things 90s at the moment. It's fascinating to see how certain songs fare with time, especially when the novelty hits that you'd expect to be a flash in a pan end up more popular 20 years later than the likes of Michael Jackson!"
