Charting 1996: 18th August: Savage Garden disrupts the top ten

So it was another busy week if you look beyond the top four which remain the same this week although it does feel like the chart is on the verge of a major shake up but anyway "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion remains at number one for a second week and at the moment, it seems a lock for number one.
"Killing Me Softly" by Fugees is steady at number two as is "Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison at number three" and "Just A Girl" by No Doubt at number four. Nothing much to say about those songs.

However Tracy Bonham's "Mother Mother" which jumped up three places to number 5, this song seems to have plenty of critical acclaim and traction right now so it will be interesting to see if it can make further inroads.

Savage Garden's "I Want You" rises 5 places to number 6 this week and is one of two songs into the top ten this week.

Pearl Jam's "Who You Are" slipped two places to number seven. I don't expect this song to stay in the top ten much longer.

La Bouche gain two places with "I Love to Love" at number eight while Maxi Priest's "That Girl" with Shaggy is the second song to arrive in the top ten rising four places to number 9.

Finally "Forever Love" by Gary Barlow dropped three places to round out the top ten at number ten.

Gains

The biggest gain of the week comes from Los Del Rios and their Spanish song "Macarena" which jumped from 36 to 12. Expect to see this in the top ten next week.

Also having a huge rise is the version of the "Macarena" by Los Del Mat feat Pedro Castano which rose from 35 to 20 this week!

Huge gains also from Gloria Estefan's "Reach which went from 37 to 23 and "Not An Addict" by K's Choice from 34 to 26.

"Dune Buggy" by The Presidents of the United States of America broke into the top 20 jumping 5 places to 16

Re-Entries

Just one re-entry with You Am I's "Soldiers" back at number 42.

Losses

We have a healthy batch of losers this week mostly songs that were in the top ten in the past like "Sexual Healing" by Max-A-Million down to 45 from 30, "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" by Coolio which slipped from 28 to 43, "Children" by Robert Miles slumped from 22 to 40 and "X-Files Theme (Version Dance)" by Triple X which dropped from 34 to 18.


New Entries

Neneh Cherry has the biggest new entry of the week with "Woman" arriving at nnumber 22.

American rock band BoDeans 'Party of Five' Theme "Closer to Free" is the second of the new entries at number 35.

Puff Johnson makes her debut on the AIA singles chart at number 36 with "Forever More".

UK house duo Umboza have arrived at number 41 with "Sunshine".

2pac has teamed up with KC and Jojo for "How Do U Want It' arriving at number 39 while finally Eric Clapton is back on the chart with "Change the World" at number 50
