Charting 1996; 29th September. Star studded new arrivals can't end Macarena's reign

Well, this week seemed same old, same old until Metallica turned up and made this somewhat more interesting but it didn't stop "Macarena" by Los Del Rios from taking another week at number one and right now nothing is challenging it.

Metallica's new single "Hero of the Day" is the highest new entry of the week at number two, just not strong enough sales to challenge for number one.

It kept "You're Makin' Me High" by Toni Braxton at number three and pushed push "Macarena" by Los Del Mar feat. Pedro Castano back to number four.

The Remembrandts break into the top five up a place to number five this week with "I'll be There for You" while Savage Garden's "I Want You" dropped two places to number six and Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack" dropped two places to number seven.

Fomer chart topper "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion stayed where it is at number nine as did "Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham.

Arriving in the top ten this week is "Change the World" by Eric Clapton which rose one place to number ten.

Gains

Donna Lewis was among the big gains this week with "I Love You Always Forever" jumping from 34 to 13 this week. This song has some serious traction and looks set to reach the top ten as unfortunately does Bryan Adams song "Let's Make A Night to Remember" which jumped ten places to number 16.

Fugees are also on a big climb with "Ready Or not" leaping from 37 to 24 this week,

2Pac's "How Do U Want It" feat. KC and Jojo rose seven places to 33.


Losers

Some big losers across the board this week Puff Johnson running out of puff with "Forever More" sliding from 30 to 46 while R.E.M's "E-Bow The Letter" dropping from 32 to 43

Also taking a sizeable hit is Primitive Radio Gods song "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" which fell to 42 and Midnight Oil's "Underwater" which dropped nine places to 38.

The Corr's suffered a pretty harsh drop with "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" taking a huge nosiedive to 37 from 21. while K's Choice "Not An Addict" slips ten to 32.


New Entries

So there are several big new entries this week not even just Metallica's big debut in the top ten. Mark Morrison is looking to follow up "Return of the Mack" success with "Crazy" entering at number 35.

Celine Dion is eyeing another huge hit with "It's All Comng Back to Me Now" arriving at number 36.


Alanis Morisette is "Head over Feet" new at number 40 while You Am I are greeting "Good Mornin'" at umber 44.

Finally Sheryl Crow is asking "If it Makes You Happy" which enters at number 49.
