Charting 1996: 14th July. No Doubt about the jump into the top ten

So this week was interesting because for the second week in a row we havea sog tumping into the  top top ten quite high as well from outside of it plus a new entry inside the top 20 but we'll get to all that in a moment because Fugees have kep the number one spot for another week as it continues to just rule everything sales wise.

It's not surprising that with all the hype around the new Mission Impossible film that "Theme From Mission: Impossible" by Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen rose to number two, it pushed "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion back to number three.

The Tony Rich Project remains steady at number four with "Nobody Knows".

Now we get to the big seven place leap for American band No Doubt with their first single to hit the ARIA chart "Just A Girl" up to number five, this song is going gangbusters for them at the moment.

It pushed last week's big mover into the top ten, "Glycerine" by Bush back to number six however Robert Miles regained ground to move up one place to number seven/

All of this saw "Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit" by Gina G down two places to number eight anf Triple X's "X-Files Theme" down two to number nine" while former chart topper "Fastlove" by George Michael rounds out the top ten at number ten having dropped one place.

Gains

A lot of the gains are cases of continued momentum for overseas hits so "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison jumped eleven places to seventeen while "Tha Crossroads" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rose from 47 to 25 n the biggest gain of the week!.

Amanda Marshall has broken into the top 40 with "Let it Rain" up ten places to 39.


Losers

Tough week for Michael Jackson with "They Don't Care About Us" dropping ten places to 44 while "Reach" by Gloria Estefan dropped 14 places to number 50. 

OMC's "How Bizarre" copped an eleven place fall with "How Bizarre" slumping to 35 and speaking of former number ones Metallica's "Until it Sleeps" dropped six places to 20.

New Entries

The highest new arrival this week comes from American rising country star LeAnn Rimes with "Blue" debuting at number 14. It's the first song from Rimes to hit the ARIA chart. It's a damn good song too.

We have go to 31 to find the latest single from La Bouche called "I Love to Love" while Mariah Carey's newest ballad "Open Arms" opens at number 37.

Irish band The Corrs will be looking to follow up the success of "Runaway" with "Forgiven, But Not Forgotten" in at number 41.

We finish this week with Belgian rock band K'Choice debuting at number 47 with "Not An Addict" . It's not a bad song, hope it does well. for them.

That wraps up Charting 1996, it doesn't look like anything is holding a candle to Fugees for number one at the moment but we'll see what happens next week
