So we've got a slightly busier week here with plenty of changes in the top ten including a massive mover so let's get started right where we normally do with our top ten where to no one's surprise "Acny Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus kept the number one spot, it's got a lock there for a few more weeks at leaat.
It kept "The Best Things in Life are Free" by Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson stuck at number two as it just isn't closing the margins to "Achy Beaky Heart" and it is coming under pressure from "Love is in the Air" by John Paul Young which took a sudden five place jump to number 3!
However that wasn't even the most impressive gain with "The Day You Went Away" by Wendy Matthews climbing seven places to number four thanks to a considerable leap in sales.
"Rhythm is a Dancer" by Snap! rebounded one spot to number five helping to push "Humpin' Around" by Bobby Brown back to number six.
The chaos above saw Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway" slump four places to number seven while "November Rain" by Guns 'n' Roses skidded down one place to number eight.
The biggest loser in the top ten this week belongs to our former number one "Amigos para Siempre (Friends for Life)" by Jose Carreras and Sarah Brightman which collapsed five places to number nine.
Finally Euphoria snatch another top ten hit with "Die For You" up two places to number ten.
Gains
So let's start our gains with "Ain't no Doubt" by Jimmy Nail up seven spots to number eleven...I am certain this will reach the top ten next week, I am a little surprised it didn't get there this week though.
"Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough' by Patty Smyth with Don Henley rose twelve places to 17...good, I am absolutely fine with that!
Unfortunately, it's not all good because Kylie Minogue's "What Kind of Fool (Heard That All Before)" rose seven places to 21, 'Something Good" by Utah Saints climbed from 44 to 27 for no good reason other than to torture me while "Just Another Day" by Jon Secada leaped from 34 to 28.
In slightly better news "Breaking the Girl" by Red Hot Chili Peppers got a six place boost to 30.
Losers
Alright, Sinead O'Connor's "Success has made a failure of our home" slumped seven places to 50 while former top ten hit "Everything's Alight" by John Farnham, Kate Ceberano and Jon Steven just utterly folded from 24 to 38.
"Motor City (I Get Lost)" by Company of Strangers suffered a five place run out of gas to 37 while "As Ugly As They Wanna Be" by Ugly Kid Joe dropped twelve to 33.
"I'll be There" by Mariah Carey slipped from 17 to 23, Roxette's "How Do You Do" skidded five places to 20 and finally "Sesame's Treet" by Smart Es dipped six places to 16.
New Entries
Four new entries this week so let's start with....
48. "Sad But True" by Metallica
So this is apparently the fifth and final single from Metallica's self titled album and like most Metallica songs, "Sad But True" is a deeply haunting song about people being blind in their faith so much so they will go to extraordinary lengths to follow their faith. Lead singer James Hetfield got the idea from the 1978 film "Magic"
While I don't think it's quite as great as "Nothing Else Matters" or "Enter Sandman", it's still really damn good with that memorable guitar riff and Hetfield just cutting lose on the microphone, in other words this pretty damn good, check this out!
47. "Pressure Drop" by Izzy Stradlin
Oh god, how to explain this one? Okay, Izzy Stradlin was one of the founding members of Guns 'n' Roses before he left the band in 1991 to form a new band called Izzy Stradlin and the Juju Hounds which featured Rick Richards from Georgia Satellites on lead guitar, Jimmy Ashhurst of Broen Homes on bass guitar and Charlie Quintana on drums with "Pressure Drop" being the first single and well...it's a cover of The Maytals 1969 song. Look, I get why some people like it but yeah, I'm not really feelin this sort of rock at all so yeah if you like...its fine but not for me.
46. "No Regrets" by Tom Cochrane
Isn't one Tom Cochrane song on the chart enough? Anyway we've got this new song from Cochrane from his second album entitled "Mad Mad World" and...well for one thing it's better in terms of there being a good groove, it certainly sounds good but the thing that ruins the song here is Tom Cochrane's vocals, he just sounds incredibly nasal...like he recorded this while having a cold or a sinus infection which is kind of a shame because the lyrics play into the whole idea of living life with no regrets and potentially with a better vocallist over that production the song could conceivably work but as it is...no thanks.
45. "Rock Your Baby" by K.W.S
Another cover song here, this time K.W.S have decided to cover George McCrae's 1974 hit "Rock Your Baby" which peaked at number two on the Kent Music Report chart and making the year end for 1974 so what does K.W.S decide to? Zap all the energy that makes the original feel genuinely romantic and the disco groove with it to speed up the tempo and turn the song into this clattering, noisy mess of a dance song that somehow manages to straddle the line between boring as hell yet somehow a train wreck that makes you want to keep listening to hear how fucking far the train can run off the fucking tracks! This is awful...skip it!
It's also easily the worst of the week. Metallica take the best of the week for "Sad But True" which also wasn't a contest...let's hope for better next week.
