Charting 1996: 3rd November: A NEW NUMBER ONE!!!!

It finally happened, we finally have a change at the very top of the charts and numerous shifts up and down the top 50 this week but straight to the big news after nine long weeks at number one "Macarena" by Los Del Rios has finally been unseated by British all girl pop group..vb .yes, the Spice Girls have taken the number one spot with "Wannabe" and this song looks like it might have some staying power at number one with strong sales. The song is certainly catchy enough to be a long term number one hit.

The strength of our new number one is bad news for our number two for another week "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis which got overtaken by "Wannabe" on sales. I don't see this going to number one however the rise of "Wannabe" and the strength of "I Love You Always Forever" pushed "Macarena" by Los Del Rios back to number three as it lost ground on sales and just couldn't match it with the two songs ahead of it. 

However "Macarena" still had the strength to stay above "You're Makin' Me High" by Toni Braxton which couldn't bridge the gap so remained at number four for another week.

The big mover into the top ten is "What's Love Got to Do With It" by Warren G feat. Adina Howard which leapt from thirteen to number five this week. I don't mind this, sure Adina Howard hasn't anything on Tina Turner's vocals but she sings the chorus well.

Unfortunately Newton's "Sometimes When We touch" cover reminds at number six. CAN WE GET RID OF THIS SHIT ALREADY?

The Remembrandts fall two places to number seven with I'll Be There for You" while "Let's Make A Night to Remember" by Bryan Adams and "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion stay at eight and nine respectively.

Finally we have "Lover Lover" by Jimmy Barnes falling three places to number ten.

Gains

So Livin' Joy's "Don't Stop Movin'" jumped big from thirty six to eighteen this week in one of the big moves of the week. Also making gains is Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy" as it jumped from 34 to 23 this week.
Belinda Carlisle might also be set for a shift into the top ten next week as "In Too Deep" jumped from 20 to 11



Losses

Jewel's 'Who will Save Your Soul" continued its slide down ten places to forty seven. BoDeans Party of Five theme 'Close.r to Free" slid nine places to 39. Former top ten hit "That Girl" by Maxi Priest feat. Shaggy collapsed ten spots to 37 while "Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham stumbled twelve places to thirty five.

Also taking a fall was Metallica's "Hero of the Day" which plunged from 16 to 31.

New Entries

We have a slew of new entries this week with the biggest coming from American singer songwriter Tonu Childs whose single "Many Rivers To Cross" became the highest charting new single this week at number 12. Not really a fan of it but I guess good for Toni.


"Dance Into the Light" by Phil Collins has found it's way onto the chart at number 36 to notch another charting hit in Australia for Collins.

Another singer - songwriter but this time Canadian Deborah Cox is in at number 42 with "Who Do U Love".

Most curiously though, there's new boy band from out of the US and they look to be set to notch world wide success, the Backstreet Boys debut single "Get Down (You're The One" for me) enters at number 44.

Pearl Jam are back this time with a single called "Hail, Hail" at number 46 and finally an American/German boy band called No Mercy have their debut single "Where Do You Go?" on the ARIA chart at number 50
