Alrighty so we've finally got a cool down week at hand here, the insane turnover slowed for a week although that doesn't necessarily mean what we have in terms of the new entries is anything with substantial quality but we'll get to it, in the mean time let's firstly deal with the top ten where for a second week it's "Hazard" by Richard Marx at number one and let's be real this song has pretty much settled into the top spot now and it intends to be there for the long haul which is pretty much a good thing because it's biggest threat now is the horrendous cover of "Please Don't Go" by K.W.S which climbed a place to number two and is looking a threat for number one unfortunately.
It was able to move past "Save the Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams which slipped back to number three and looks like it's losing ground on sales, it may well come under threat from "Too Funky" by George Michael which rebounded two places back it's peak of number four.
"Sexy MF" by Prince and the New Power Generation remains stuck at number five mostly because it just can't bridge the gap to the songs above it while Lisa Edwards "Cry" climbs one spot to number six.
Also on an upward climb is "As Ugly as They Wanna Be" by Ugly Kid Joe rising one place to number eight and with every week booking a spot on worst list seems more likely for this song.
All of this is because "Jump" by Kriss Kross slumped four places to number eight and is fading naturally.
Up one spot to number nine is "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" by Sophie B. Hawkins, a song that is getting better and better for me. I really do like it a fair bit.
Finally "Heaven Knows" by Rick Price slipped one spot to number ten.
Gains
"I Don't Care" by Shakespears Sister broke into the top twenty this week by jumping from 23 to 18 while Mariah Carey's "I'll Be There" jumped from 24 to 19.
Girlfriend look set to have another hit on their hands with "Girl's Life" leaping from their debut of 33 to 21 while Kriss Kross's "Warm It Up" climbed ten spots off it's debut to 22. Another debutant from last week, "Everything's Alright" by John Farnham, Kate Ceberano and Jon Stevens climbed all the way from 46 to 25...excellent!.
Unfortunately "Life Is A Highway" by Tom Cochrane climbed ten places to 30...not so good but "You Won't See Me Cry" by Wilson Phillips jumped from 45 to 31 which is good news.
TLC's "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" climbed from 43 to 35 while "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" by Guns 'n' Roses leapt eight places to 36
Losers
Alright let's begin this with "Always the Last to Know" by Del Amitri which lost all it's gains to slip back nine spots to 48 while "Living In England" by The Screaming Jets slumped nine places to 45.
"Heaven Sent" by INXS is being heaven sent out of the top 50 as it collapsed from 31 to 44 this week (kind of says something about how INXS fans feel about that song if I am to be honest).
"Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica plunged from 35 to 41 while "I Can't Help Myself" by Teen Queens took a pleasing dive from 28 to 40 (thank god!)
In further pleasing news, "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More slipped five to 39 while former chart topper "To Be With You" by Mr Big fell ten places to 37 and "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited fell from 21 to 32 this week.
Another former chart topper to take a hit was "Take It From Me" by Girlfriend which plunged nine to 28.
New Entries
Two entries this week beginning with...
50. "Pretend We're Dead" by L7
So L7 are an American rock band having their first charting single in Australia and I will admit to some curiosity about the song given the title so how is it? Well the music is a bit chug a chug and the lyrics are a bit banal about how society is beating the individuality out of people so pretend we're dead but the vocals are so flat and passionless, they really don't convey anything here so yeah when rock has done better than this in 1992, there's no excuse for this sludge.
46. "Deeply Dipply" by Right Said Fred
Okay, we're giving Right Said Fred another charting song, why? "Deeply Dippy" might be slightly better than "I'm Too Sexy" but that's because it's boring! It's a song about him being "deeply dippy"
about this girl he is in love with. The saving grace is literally when the horns kick in on the middle eight of the song but that doesn't save the vocals which don't match the energy of the instrumentation. Ugh.
And that wraps up a pretty short week. No best of the week because both songs are pretty ordinary but worst is is going to "Pretend We're Dead" by L7. Let's hope for better next week
