So a little bit of a cool down week but it actually didn't stop the chart from being really interesting again, there's more shifts in the top ten and we'll get to those, we've got three new entries to also have a look at but let's get to that top ten were much to nobody's surprise, "Like A Prayer" by Madonna returned to number one as it remains really strong overall which is really damn impressive.
It pushed "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals back to number two as sales fell off a bit, it's now also facing a fight to hold onto number two as "I'm On My Way" by The Proclaimers got a spurt on to rise two places to number three causing "The Living Years" by Mike + TThe Mechanics which slipped one place to number four and "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers which stumbled down one to number five.
Steady at number six is "Tucker's Daughter" by Ian Moss while "Too Many Broken Hearts" by Jason Donovan also remained steady at number seven.
Gaining two places to number eight is Sam Brown's "Stop!" even though I kind of wish it would live up to it's name already and stop...kind of tired of this song however it did cause both "You Got It" by Roy Orbison and "Soul Revival" by Johnny Diesel & The Injectors to slide back one place to nine and ten respectively.
Gains
So I am not thrilled that "Ring My Bell" by Collette jumped into the top twenty by climbing twelve places to 15, the same goes for the increadingly bland "Lost in your Eyes' by Debbie Gibson which climbed from 30 to 17 this week.
However there is some good news with "She's a Mystery to Me" by Roy Orbison climbing from 33 to 18 and "Stuck on You" by Paul Norton rising from 49 all the way up to 20.
:"Your Mama Don't Dance" by Poison climbed six places to 23 while "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles jumped nine off it's debut last week to 30.
Also rising off it's debut is "Twist In My Sobriety" by Tanita Tikaram which rose eleven places to 35 while "Veronica" by Elvis Costello rose nine to 41.
Re-Entries
Two returns this week with "Celebrate The World" by Womack & Womack back at 37 and "So Good" by Wa Wa Nee back at number 36
Losses
"She Makes My Day" by Robert Palmer is on the way out as slipped six to 50 while it's the same for "Love Bites" by Def Leppard sd it fell six to 49.
"Rock and Roll Music" by Mental As Anything tumbled eleven places to 48 in one of the biggest falls of the week while "It's Only Love" by Simply Red skidded ten places to 46.
"Especially For You" by Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan tumbled from 31 to 42 as it's run on the charts looks to be coming to an end and I am also not complaining that "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys collapsed down from 21 to 34.
"Like The Way I Do" suffered a shock collapse from 19 to 32 for Melissa Etheridge...the song isn't good so I am fine with this one leaving. "What I Am" by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians tumbled eleven places to 31.
"Where Did I Go Wrong" by UB40 slipped ten places to 27...thank goodness.
New Entries
Three new entries this week, beginning with...
47. "Hallelulah Man" by Love and Money
We're leading off with the lead single from Scottish band Love and Money's second studio album "Strange Kind of Love" with this song having been released last year and only just now hitting the charts and well...I don't know...I like some of the production and the vocals remind me a lot of INXS but I feel like this is really missing something to push it over the top for me in the instrumentation like a bass guitar. The song is pleasant enough but I am sure as hell going to forget it exists beyond this week.
45. "Dirty Blvd." by Lou Reed
Oh boy, Lou Reed has never really done much for me at all. "Walk on the Wild Side" is one of those songs I consider to be absolute garbage even though it's considered to be a classic song of the time so what do we get from :"Dirty Blvd" taken from his album "New York"...well we get a nice sounding guitar but again the issue that kills "Walk on the Wild Side" For me is what kills this song is Lou Reed's vocal delivery, it's just him talking over the music comparing the poor and the rich of New York City. Not feeling this one at all.
40. "Wild Thing" by Tone Loc
So this is the lead single from American rapper Tone Loc taken from the album "Loc-ed After Dark" and samples Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'" with "Wild Thing" apparently short for "doing the wild thing" which a euphemism for sex and yeah its definitely a sex song on the lyrics alont him hooking up with this girl, taking her back to a hotel where he says to her "Be my queen if you know what I mean and let us do the wild thing"...the lyrics are pretty goofy and the production really does much it with just how catchy and punchy it is even if the beginning does remind me a lot of "Push It" by Salt n Pepa however I can't fault this...it's fun. Check it out.
And yeah, it's the best of the week, as for the worsr of the week that's going to "Dirty Blvd" by Lou Reed.
