Can't say this week's chart isn't boring. WOW. We got big swathes of change in the top ten including a new entry straight in at number one and a heap of new entries lower down the chart but let's not muck around and get to that new number one.
That new number one is "Jesus to a Child" by George Michael, it's George's third solo number one in Australia.
We also have a new number two with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men having "One Sweet Day
The Outhere Brothers "Boom Boom Boom" down to number 3.
CDB are grooving their way down one to number four.
La Bouche's "Be My Lover" are one of the few songs to stay where it is at number 5. Not a fan of this song at all, it's probably the worst of the songs in the top 5.
Finally, we reach last week's niumber one "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio feat. L.V. at number 6, a five place tumble as finally sales slowed right down and other songs moved past it.
Oasis moved deeper into the top ten jumping three places with "Wonderwall" - a pretty terrific song.
Arriving in the top ten is Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" made a massive climb from 15 to 8.
Swoop's 'Apple Eyes" also made a jump although not quite as big with "Apple Eyes" up from 11 to number 9.
Rounding out the top ten is Deni Hines "It's Alright" which fell three places to number ten.
Gains
Monica's "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" had one of dem weeks by moving up from 33 to 27 right behind it is "Automatic Lover (Call for Love)" by M.C. Sar and the Real McCoy saw people hear the call for love so much so it jumped from 35 to 28.
Bjork quietly jumped from 39 to 33 with "Its Oh So Quiet" off it's debut last week.
Losers
So yeah the losers are a long list and we'll start number 50 where Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" slipped 7 places. Darn.
Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" dropped ten places to 48.
It wasn't so good a week for Tina Arena's "Wasn't It Good" dropped hard from 31 to 45. Not surprising, Tina is capable of better tbh.
The Beatles also dropped hard with "Free as a Bird down hard from 29 to 43.
The charts aren't proving to heaven for Queen with "Heaven for Everyone down ten places to 44.
Also big drops for Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" (down from 32 to 40) and Pearl Jam's "Merkinball (EP)"
New Entries
Holy shit, we got a wave of a new entries this week and we start with a song that I actually kind of like, it's Deep Blue Something with "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (yeah I know but come on the song has a fantastic chorus).
TLC arrives at 36 with "Diggin' on You" (it's okay, a smooth song that works in the background)
Following right behind it is Shaggy's second song on the chart this week with "Boombastic" arriving at 37 (honestly, am not a fan of this song at all. Sorry).
"Fee Fi Fo Fum" by Candy Girls feat. Sweet Pussy Pauline arrives at 39 (a song that I really don't care about at all)
At nunmber 41 is M People's cover of the Small Faces 1966 hit "Itchycoo Park" at number 41 (Really, Australia, really?)
LL Cool J's "Hey Lover" debuts at 46, Coolio is trying for a 2nd hit with "Too Hot" debuting at 47 and finally After 7 is the last of the debuts with "Til You Do Me Right"
That wraps up the week and wow, it was busy, looking forward to seeing if George Michael can hold onto that number one spot next week,
