BRAVO Charts – Week 30 in Summer 1995: Between Boyband Yearning, Eurodance Ecstasy and Pop-Punk Rebellion

It was the summer when everything vibrated: the air, the emotions, the speakers of our stereos. No streaming, no shuffle – only the radio, BRAVO, and your local record store determined what was playing. And what was playing was absolutely legendary. In the 30th calendar week of 1995 , the BRAVO reader hit parade was at its best – like a playlist curated by a teenage heart somewhere between Bravo-Otto, Dr. Sommer, and the dance floor at the outdoor pool.

🎶 These were the big anthems of week 30 – summer 1995:

• Take That – Back for Good
  This song wasn't just a ballad—it was a manifesto of vulnerable masculinity. Gary Barlow in the rain, us with goosebumps. A song like a hug after the first breakup.

• DJ Bobo – There's a Party
  Eurodance at its best: DJ Bobo invited you to the biggest party of the summer – whether you were lying on the beach in Rimini or dancing on linoleum at the youth club.

• Scooter – Friends
  "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!" – Philosophy bellowed between neon lights and strobe lights, underscored by brutal bass power. A techno statement that even German teachers could quote.

• Green Day – When I Come Around
  For all those who found boy bands too smooth and DJ Bobo too colorful: Green Day, with their snotty, melancholic attitude, delivered the soundtrack for the skate park, the diary, and the rebellion in their heads.

• Rednex – Wish You Were Here
  Between trash and deep pathos – a song that still moves every open-air festival to tears.

🌟 1995 – A summer like no other:
What did these songs have in common? They were real . They reflected emotions, celebrated life, or indicted it – and they rang out from every corner: Walkman, Discman, school disco, or summer camp. They accompanied us on our first trips without our parents, on night hikes with our hearts racing, or while we spent hours listening to the radio hit parade.

🎧 Listen again today – and be 15 again immediately:
One push of a button – and you're back in the days when anything seemed possible and summer could last forever. So: turn it up loud, grab your air guitar, or just sing along quietly. Because these hits are more than music – they're pure memories .
