So this week feels...busier somehow and kind more reflective on how 1996 has been as a whole, sure we've had some long term number ones but the chart otherwise has moved quite viciouslyfrom week to week especially in the top ten where there's no greater example...oh sure not right at the top where Fugees keep the number one spot with "Killing Me Softly" and at this point I am beginning to wonder what is going to challenge it.
The challenge probably won't come from Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen's "Theme from Mission Impossible" stuck at number two unable to bring the gap to "Killing Me Softly". It was the same for Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" at number three and No Doubt's "Just A Girl" at number five.
The big mover comes from Mark Morrison whose song "Return of the Mack" climbed eight places to reach number five this week, this song has momentum, it will be imteresting to see if it can make further inroads next week.
"Glycerine" by Bush remains at number six as does "Children" by Robert Miles at number seven and "Ooh Aah...Just A little bit" by Gina G at number eight.
La Bouche have a second top ten hit in Australia with "I Love to Love" going from 17 to number nine this week. Wow.
Finally Triple X's "X-Files' Theme (Version Dance)" drops one place to number 10.
Gains
Huge gain off the debut for Tracy Bonham's "Mother Mother" up from 26 to 18 this week. It's a decent song and probably deserves to go top ten.
Also getting a 9 place leap off it's debut is The Corrs new single "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" to 21 this week.
Eclipse's cover of "The Look of Love" jumped from 39 to 32 while "Dune Buggy" by The Presidents of the United States jumped from 42 to 33.
Surprisingly this week, there was a massive gain for Marilyn Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams" as it climbed from 48 to 35.
Re-Entries
Three returns this week with the best of them at 38 from K's Choice and their single "Not An Addict"
.
S-Express are also back at 48 with "Theme from S-Express (The Return Trip)" and "Reach" by Gloria Estefan is back at number 50.
Losses
So there were some big losses this week most notably for "Stepping Stone" by PJ & Duncan which tumbled from 25 to 43 this week and Human Nature's "Tellin' Everybody" which hit the skids to 46 from 32 (unfortunately) also "Nobody Knows" by The Tony Rich Project fell hard out of the top 5 to number 12.
Also taking a hit was Powderfinger's "Pick You Up" down from 35 to 41.
New Entries
So the biggest new arrival this week comes from Brisbane duo Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones otherwise known as Savage Garden with their debut single "I Want You" in at number 27. This song is a pretty darn great pop gem, check it out.
You Am I are back with their newest single "Soldiers" in at number 34
Then we have two R'n' B acts to round out this weeks new arrivals with Toni Braxton in at number 44 with "You're Makin' Me High"...again, this is pretty decent and finally Tevin Campbell is back with a new single called "Back to the World" debuting at number 45.
That wraps up the week, Fugees look to have a serious strange hold on number one right now so we'll see what happens.
