Well this week is kind of interesting in that we only got two new entries on the whole and the top ten looks like it got busy so let's get started with "Saltwater" by Julian Lennon spending a second week at number one, it still has sales and it was enough to keep ahead of "Love You Right" by Euphoria at number two and "Justified & Ancient" by The KLF at number three.
From there though? Up two places to number four is "Tip of My Tongue" by Diesel...okay this is pretty damn awesome...the song is fantastic.
What caught off guard was the sudden seven place rise for Kate Bush's cover of Elton John's "Rockey Man (I think it's going to be a long long time)" up to number five. This song has been quietly climbing and yeah I still think it's a fine cover...
Part of all this happening though is the two place drop for former chart topper "Let's Talk About Sex" by Salt 'n' Pepa down to number six. It's fading naturally.
"Dizzy" by Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff rose two places to number seven, this song is as catchy as sin...I'm really enjoying this song a lot so nice to see it rising.
Down one are both "Remember the Time" by Michael Jackson to number eight and "Finally" by CeCe Peniston to number nine.
Finally the other big story in the top ten is the five place drop for "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana to number ten...thought this would stick around a little longer.
Gains
"I Can't Dance" by Genesis is up seven to number 13 this week...good to see as I still like the song but in not so good news "Thought I Died and Gone to Heaven" by Bryan Adams climbed from 45 to 19...geezus christ.... really, Australia? We're just going to let this fart in the wind be a hit?
Anyway, "Peace" by Sabrina Johnston continues to rise, it's up five spots to 24 while "Cool Jesus" by Maybe Dolls climbed from 46 to 31...somehow.
Then there's the six place gain for the underwhelming "Feel So High" by Des'ree to 33 while 2 Unlimited jump ten spots to 34 with "Get Ready For this"
"Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers broke into the top 40 up from 43 to 38...thank goodness...needed a good gain amidst all the crap.
Speaking of crap, "Ghost of a Texas Ladies Man" by Concrete Blonde climbed from 49 to 44.
Losers
So we have got a fair few big losers here starting with "Live and Let Die" by Guns 'n' Roses down 12 to 50 as it is on the way out. Non starter "Again Tonight" by John Mellencamp slipped from 42 to 48.
I'm not about to complain that Freaked Out Flower Children slipped from 36 to 43 with "Spill the Wine" or that "Kingston Town" by UB40 skidded down ten spots to 41 (It's had a good run)
Diesel's "Come to Me" is on the way out down from 37 to 42 while The Rockmelons and Deni Hines cover of "Ain't No Sunshine took a heavy hit down from 27 all the way to 40.
Mercifully, crap also took a hit like "Addams Groove" by MC Hammer which tumbled from 25 to 39...good.
It also affected good songs like "One Word" by Baby Animals which skidded down from 22 to 28.
Former top ten hit "Cream" by Prince and the New Power Generation slipped eight places to 27 while Rozalla's "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" stumbled from 17 to 23.
New Entries
Just two new entries this week so let's start off with...
47. "Anthem" by Clouds
Clouds, an indie rock band from Sydney, landing their third single from their album Penny Century on the chart and I have to be honest here wbile I like the instrumentation, I don't like how the vocals are buried here especially as the front woman sounds like she needs to be closer and louder in the mix here but she's getting drowned out by the guitars. The song is going for the grunge effect and it's just not doing anything for me. If it's your thing, check it out but I won't be coming back to this.
18. "Marvellous" by The 12th Man feat. MCG Hammer
Billy Birmingham aka The 12th Man strikes again, this being his latest charting single to impersonate the Channel Nine cricket commentary team, this time around it's a rap song where Birmingham as Richie Benaud raps about the life of being a cricket commentator and how when they call the game 'everything's marvellous' with Birmingham also impersonating other members of the commentary team in the song as well...its actually pretty funny and does include Birmingham playing a guitar solo as Richie Benaud which is pretty good. If you are up for a laugh...I recommend this.
And yeah, it's the best of the week, "Anthem" by Clouds is the worst of the week here...I just don't like the production at all.
