Charting 1996: March 10th Joan Osborne goes number one

So yeah when I looked at the chart last week I said Joan Osborne was the main challenger to Shaggy for number one but I wasn't expecting what happened because yes, we have a new number one in the form of "One of Us" by Joan Osborne, now really given the noise about the song, it's not a surprise that it climbed four places to get to the top of the chart.

That said "Boombastic" by Shaggy is still a strong player for the top spot even as it sits at number two down one place while pushing back "Wonderwall" by Oasis back to number three.

Another big mover inside the top ten is "Missing" by Everything But the Girl which jumped five places to number four and looks a potential challenger to "One of Us" in the weeks ahead.

That leaves "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something (a song I admit to liking) in an awkward place dropping two places to number five because it's coming under pressure from TLC's "Diggin' On You" which bounded two places to number 6.

La Bouche was left to shut up as it got bundled down three places to number seven with "Be My Lover"


Peter Andre feat. Past to Present are getting down on the chart asecent with "Get Down On It" up two places to number eightt while as I predicted last week "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo found it's way into the top ten from 15 to number 9.

Finally Groove Theory are back yet agan in the top ten at number ten with "Tell Me"

Gains

OMC's "How Bizarre" arrives in the top 20 at number 17 off it's debut at 24. Celine Dion's "Falling into You" also continues to rise jumping from 23 to 19.

"Anything" by 3T continues yet again with it's impressive gains, it's up from 31 to 23 even though the song isn't that good to begin with but that's another story for a very different day.

Ace of Base continue to experience a "Beautiful Life" up ten places to 27.

Maybe most surprising is Boyzone are up to 33 from 49 with "Father and Son"...we really need a Cat Stevens cover to be a hit, Australia, really?

Re-Entries

One re-entry this week with Ken Carter's "Ammonia" back at number 50.


Losers

So the most chaos was inflicted around the top ten with "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman down to 13 and "It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork down to 12.

On the way out is Shaggy feat. Rayvon's hit "In the Summertime" which slipped 9 places to 34 while also headed toward the exit is Dreamworld's "Movin' Up" down to 35 from 27 and CDB grooving down from 29 to 36 with "Let's Groove" along with "Boom Boom Boom" by The Outhere Brothers which slipped from 35 to 43.

New Entries


A much calmer week for new arrivals with an Aussie leading the charge at number 31 via Tina Arena's "That's the Way a Woman feels". It's a terrific song too.

Irish band The Corrs have their first song on the ARIA chart with "Runaway" debuting at number 38.

"Charmless Man" by Blur finds charm entering at number 41 while "Aeroplane" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers flies in at 44.

So that wraps up the week and its going to be interesting with the stiff opposition around it as to whether Joan Osborne can hang on to number one.

Back to 2019 though and coming up is this week's ARIA top ten/chart review, did Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper hang on to number one? Where did the Jonas Brothers new single debut? All these questions and more will be answered this week.
