So we got something of a slowdown this week where for once we have a sparse new entry list but there's still plenty of movement on the chart but just not at the top where for yet another week, it's "The Sign" by Ace of Base remaining at number one, now this isn't a surprise...it's got plenty of sales to handily stick around at the top for a week for two more.
Also with breathing room at number two is "Breathe Again" by Toni Braxton at number but I"d argue, it's not really a threat for the number one spot, it's sales are looking a tad bit shaky which leaves room for "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by The Symbol up four places to number three to make a run for possibly the number one spot in the weeks ahead.
"Without You" by Mariah Carey holds on at number four while "The Power of Love" by Celine Dion tumbled two spots to number five. Both these songs look to be done with their chart runs in the top ten so I expect to see them both fall away gradually over the next few weeks.
"Right In the Night" by Jam & Spoon feat. Plavka continues to hang around at number six, it seems to be wavering on whether it moves higher or not.
The big surprise this week was "I'll Remember" by Madonna moving up two to number seven...I thought this song was too weirdly produced for it to do any damage in the top ten however it's move "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen might have happened anyway as it collapsed three spots to number eight.
The unwelcome surprise in the top ten is "Doop" by Doop climbed eight places to number nine because the world hates me or something. Why is this becoming a hit? Seriously?
Finally in better news "Things Can Only Get Better" by D:Ream rebounded one to number ten and honestly I hope this does rise in the top ten for a change.
Losers
"Hush Sweet Lover" by K.D Lang tumbled from thirty six to forty nine this week while "Easy" by Hunters & Collectors slipped six spots to forty six.
Hoodoo Gurus felt a ten place plunge with "Less Than A Feeling" down to thirty six and "Cornflake Girl" by Tori Amos slipped from twenty seven to thirty two.
Gains
So :Steppin' On Remix" by Sexing The Cherry climbed six places to forty two off their re-entry while Satisfy The Groove" by Culture Shock shocked it's way up from forty nine to forty one. The big gain this week came for Eternal's "Stay" which climbed nineteen spots to thirty one this week which is good to see considering that song is pretty dang good.
Sadly also having a good sized gain is "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by Crash Test Dummies which crashed up from thirty eight to twenty four...ugh.,..
"Is It Love" by Twenty 4 Seven feat, Stay-C and Nance up eight to twenty two.
Re Entries
"To The Top" by Peter Andre is somehow back at number forty eight.
New Entries
Just the two new entries this week, starting with...
50. "I'm Broken" by Pantera.
Well, never expected that I'd have the chance to talk about a song from American heavy metal legends Pantera but here we are, this song comes from their album "Far Beyond Driven" and is apparently about the back pain that the lead singer Phil Anselmo was experiencing and how vulnerable he felt while needing others to help him while he was in pain.
This is also where I admit that heavy metal is not a subgenre that I tend to enjoy that much but with a new Dr Alban song on the list, I guess this is the one hope I had so how is it? Yeah, this is definitely a Pantera song with screams and the guitars, the vocals do get across the pain and vulnerability and that guilty solo in the middle was nice...I guess I was hoping for something a tad darker in sound though?
45. "It's My Life" by Dr Alban
So with "Sing Hallelujah" experiencing a modicum of success, I am not surprised we are getting a follow up single and yeah, I am not a fan of this either especially the forced rapping that has very little in the way of personality and production that sounds like a collection of train noises over a thumping dance beat.Skip this song.
Easy worst of the week with the best of the week going to Pantera for "I'm Broken"...hopefully next week will be more interesting.
