So there's a certain turbulence to the chart this week that suggests a shake up ain't far away and looking at this week's top ten, it seems clear that something is on the way.
Celine Dion remains for a third week at number one with "Because You Loved Me" but I am not certain that it will get a fourth week given its slowing on sales and Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack" is snapping at its heels at number two but whether its a contender for number one is uncertain.
What isn't a contender is "Killing Me Softly" by Fugees which got dumped back to number three but its still got strength enough to stay in the top 5 although in 1996...who can tell?
No Doubt stays at number four with "Just A Girl", I can see this falling away.
But the song with the biggest momentum and is presenting itself as a threat to the number one spot is Los Del Rios with "Macarena" which climbed seven places to number five this week and unfortunately, while being very catchy, is set to get annoying very quickly.
Savage Garden continue to be the lone Australian act in the top ten with "I Want You" remaining at number six.
Maxi Priest gets a two place jump for "That Girl" feat. Shaggy to number seven. Potential for this song to go top five.
"Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham drops three places to number eight. This song has become a bit of a critical love lately.
"I Love to Love" by La Bouche dropped one place to number nine while Gary Barlows "Forever Love" remains at number ten.
Gains
So moving into the gains and BoDeans 'Party of Five' theme "Closer to Free" which jumped 15 places to number 20. Also a good seven place gain for "Macarena" by Los Del Mar feat. Pedro Castao to number 13.
"I Live for You" by Chynna Phillips breaks into the top 20 with a nine place jump to 19.
Robert Miles might have another hit on his hands with "Fable" up to 29 from 37.
Also a big gain for "How Do U Want It" by 2Pac feat. KC and Jojo up to 33 from 49.
Finally in positive news "Change the World" by Eric Clapton gained ten places to 40, positive in that I really like that song so am happy to see it doing well.
Losses
Let's start a little lower down with "Glycerine" by Bush going sour down to 45 from 32 last week.
Human Nature's "Tellin' Everybody" has slumped from 31 to 41 while Everclear's "Santa Monica (Watch The World Die)" dropped thirteen places to 38 this week.
Gloria Estefan has had to "Reach" down this week as "Reach" hit 31 from 23 this week and finally "Theme from Mission Impossible" by Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen fell from 14 to 22.
New Entries
The biggest new entry of the week comes from the Pet Shop Boys with "Se a vida e (That's the eay Life is)" debuting at number 12.
Another TV theme new this week comes from The Rembrandts and their song "I'll Be There for You" from the US TV sitcom "Friends" arrives at 43
Thankfully Powderfinger are back on the charts with "DAF" at 46 and finally a Dutch singer who goes by the stage name Daisy Dee is in at number 50 with "Crazy '96"...honestly the sooner that is gone the better.
That wraps up the week. Can "Macarena" leap to nnumber one? That question and more will be answered next week
