finished the year at number one with "Hand in My Pocket". Eight musical artists topped the ''RPM'' Singles Chart for the first time this year: Jann Arden, R.E.M., Dionne Farris, the Rembrandts, Hootie & the Blowfish, Gin Blossoms, Take That, and Alanis Morissette. No musical act topped the chart with more than one single in 1995. Gin Blossoms spent the most weeks at number one, six, with "Til I Hear It from You". However, it was the Rembrandts' song "I'll Be There for You (The Rembrandts song), I'll Be There for You"—best known as the opening theme for the American sitcom ''Friends''—that topped the ''RPM'' year-chart for 1995; it spent five weeks at the number-one position in July and August. In September, Tom Cochrane accomplished a rare feat by debuting at number one with "I Wish You Well", an event that had only been seen once before, in 1985 with Band Aid (band), Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (this does not include the magazine's number-one single from its debut issue). Jann Arden, Bryan Adams, Tom Cochrane, and Alanis Morissette were the four Canadians who topped their native country's chart in 1995. Adams peaked at number one for five weeks with "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?", and Elton John picked up his 18th Canadian chart-topper with "Believe (Elton John song), Believe", which had a four-week stint at the summit. Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket" also stayed at number one for four weeks, and Arden—along with Boyz II Men, Sheryl Crow, and Hootie & the Blowfish—topped the chart for three weeks.
