So this week took a turn for the dramatic because we have a top ten shake up that I didn't see coming including at the very top so let's get straight to it, we have a new number one that being Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" finally hitting the top spot after a pretty damn good sales week so much so that after seven weeks at number one "Killing Me Softly" by The Fugees dropped back to number two.
"Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison went up to number 3 switching places with No Doubt's "Just A Girl" which dropped to number four.
Then we have a trio of new entries in the top ten with the first of those being American band Pearl Jam at number five with new song "Who You are"
Take That's resident bad boy Robbie Williams has hit the charts for the first time with his cover of George Michael's "Freedom" at number six, I don't expect this song to stick around but we'll see especially given its a song coming almost straight out of Take That's split.
Speaking of Take That, Williams bandmate Gary Barlow has released his debut single "Forever Love" and lodged it at number seven this week.
All of this meant Tracy Bonham's "Mother Mother" dropped back one place to number eight but the upheaval was most felt by "Theme from Mission Impossible" by Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen which dropped four places to nine and "I Love to Love' by La Bouche slipping four to ten.
Gains
"That Girl" by Maxi Priest feat. Shaggy got an eight place jump off the debut last week to 13 while "I Want You" by Savage Garden rose nine places to 11, both these songs could concievably be in the ten next week.
Toni Braxton has broken into the top twenty with "You're Making Me High" rising six places to number 26.
However big gains were for Chynna Phillips song "I Live for You" which jumped from 44 to 29 and "Dune Bugg" by Presidents of the United States of America which jumped ten places to 21 while "Macarena" by Los Del Mar feat. Pedro Castano jumped from 46 to 35 for some unexplainable reason.
JX's "There's Nothing I won't do" rose nine places to 38.
Re-Entries
Just one re-entry which comes from Kadoc with "The Nighttrain" back at number 50.
Losers
Some former hits took some huge plunges this week, let's start with Triple X's "X-Files Theme (Version Dance)" which dropped out of the top ten to number 18 as did Bush's "Glycerine" which fell from 8 to 19 this week. Ouch. Robert Miles suffered a ten place fall with "Children" to number 22.
Former number one "Fastlove" by George Michael slid from 13 to 27 while Max-A-Million's "Sexual Healing" went from 17 to 30.
Eternal's top twenty hit "I am Blessed" dropped ten places to 24.
Crowded House's "Everythiing is Good for You" dropped ten places to 39 while Mariah Carey's "Open Arms" closed suddenly and plunged from 27 to 41.
Nine place drops were in order for Bryan Adams "Only Thing that looks good on me is you" to number 43 and for Chynna Phillips "Naked and Sacred" to 46.
New Entries
So outside the three new entries in the top ten from Pearl Jam, Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, there were two other new entries the first of those being Los Del Rios version of "Macarena" at number 36...I have no idea if this is going to be a hit...it's catchy even if that laugh is as obnoxious as all hell.
Finally, Robert Miles returns with his new single "Fable" entering at number 45.
