Charting 1996: 15th September. Toni Braxton getting high

So not a lot changed this week within the top ten apart from some positional changes, as for the rest of the chart, we got our usual slew of new arrivals but unfortunately for a third week, "Macarena" by Los Del Rios remains at number one, this is pretty much settling itself in for a long stint at the top of the charts which is not good news.

I don't see "Macarena" by Los Del Mar feat. Pedro Castano which stayed at number two but it looks a safe number two for now especially as it's unlikely to knock the Los Del Rios version of "Macarena" off top spot.


Toni Braxton moves up three places to number three with "You're Makin' Me High" after a good sales week while Savage Garden remained steady at number four with "I Want You" 

The same cannot be said of "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison which slipped two places to number 5 or for "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion which slipped one place to number six.

"That Girl" by Maxi Priest feat; Shaggy remains stuck at number seven while former chart topper "Killing Me Softly" by Fugees also remains where it is at number eight.

"Just A Girl" by No Doubt swapped places with Tracy Bonham's "Mother Mother" with "Just a Girl" up to number nine and "Mother Mother" down to number 10.


Gains

New Edition's 'Hit Me Off" has risen from 37 to 23 this week and is one of the big gainers this week along with Belinda Carlisle's "In too Deep" which has rocketed to 31 from 49 while Jewel's "Who will Save Your Soul" climbed to 33 from 46 last week.

Kulcha also gained big with people showing they do like "Do You Like It?" as it climbed to 35. 


Losers

Some massive losers mostly down around the lower end of the chart especially for Everything But the Girl which slipped 14 places to 50 with 'Wrong" which seems awfully wrong to me as that song isn't bad.

Powderfinger dropped eight spots to 48 with "D.A.F" while a song that should make the year end list "Ooh Ahh...Just A little Bit" by Gina G dropped from 33 to 47 this week.

Also falling hard are Pearl Jam's "Who You Are" to 46 and Robbie Williams "Freedom" to 46. The Corrs "Runaway" dropped eight places to 40


New Entries

Let's crash through these new entries and we start at number 30 with the biggest new entry of the week coming from crooner Bryan Adams with "Lets Make a Night to Remember".

The Fugees have hit the charts with their follow up single " Ready or Not" debuting at number 34. 

It's then to number 37 where we find Crowded House with their new single "Not the Girl You Think You Are", it's set to be be on the band's greatest hits album called "Recurring Dream: The Very Best of Crowded House"

Eternal are back with "Someday" at number 38.

Welsh singer songwriter Donna Lewis has her first chart entry in Australia with "I Love You Always Forever" in at 42.

UK dance singer Newton has recorded a cover of Dan Hill's hit "Sometimes When We touch" ( a song I do not like AT ALL for the record in the first place) and it's in at number 45 to wrap up the week.
