It thankfully moved past "All For Love" by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting which slipped back to number three and looks to be on the downswing.
The same cannot be said for "Slave to the Music" by Twenty 4 Seven feat. Stay-C and Nance which climbed onne spot to number four. Thinking this could make a play for number one if it gets it's cards right.
A new entry at number five with "Stay (Faraway. So Close)" by U2, it's here becaqse it had a solid sales week. I'll talk about this song when I review all the new entries.
All of this caused "Shoop" by Salt 'N' Pepa to tumble three places to number six. "Moving On Up" by M People down three to number seven and "Boom! Shake the Room" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince down one to number eight,
The last two are on the way out of the top ten naturally with "Hero" by Mariah Carey down one to number nine and "Please Forgive Me" by Bryan Adams also down one to number ten.
Losers
Unsurprisingly "Time" by INXS fell hard off it's debut last week down from thirty six to forty nine this week. Also hitting the skids is "Estranged" by Guns 'N' Roses down six places to forty six.
Jordy's "Dur dur d'etre bebe!" slipped eight to forty five as it's non starter status continues. "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum ran the wrong way down nine to forty four,
The clown in "Tears of a Clown" by Caligula is crying even harder as the song just utterly collapsed from twenty five to thirty nine this week. 2 Unlimited's underpowered "Maximum Overdrive" slipped six places to thirty eight.
"The Weight" by Jimmy Barnes and The Badloves unfortunately got hit with a ten place drop to thirty seven.
It's bad dreams for Gabrielle as "Dreams" fell eight to thirty six and "The Key. The Secret" by Urban Cookie Collective is on the downswing down from twenty one to thirty two.
Gains
The gains are a bit of a mixed bag this week with "What's My Name" by Snoop Doggy Dogg getting a welcome ten place boost to nineteen but why is utter junk like "Feelin' Alright" by EYC breaking into the top twenty at sixteen...that's not good.
Or that "Now and Forever" by Richard Marx jumped nine to twenty four or "Can We talk" by Tevin Campbell climbed to twenty seven from thirty one and I'm confused as to how Heart managed to get one of the biggest gains of the week with "Will You Be There (In the Morning)" up from forty three to twenty eight.
At leasr we did get "Relight My Fire" by Take That feat Lulu up to thirty three and "Natils in My Feet" by Crowded House up nine to thirty four.
We also had "She Don't Let Nobody" by Chake Demus and Pliers up eight to forty one because...sigh....
New Entries
Four new entries this week, starting with...
50. "I'm Looking For the One (To Be With Me) by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
We finally get the follow up "Boom! Shake the Room" hitting the chart this week and while this is weaker than the previous single, it doesn't quite have the instant punch that "Boom! Shake the Room" does but Will Smith brings his usual energy to it. My only concern is that new jack swing that underpins the melody does kind of feel played out by now but still decent song that is worth checking out.
40. "In Your Room" by Depeche Mode
Ahh the fourth and final single from Depeche Mode's album "Songs of Faith and Devotion" and wow, this is certainly one hell of a dark turn from this UK electronic band, this sounds incredibly sinster with the guitars playing to a darker and more cold vibe and you know what I really dig this a fair bit. worth checking out if you aren't too creeped out by the lyrics.
30. "Spoonman" by Soundgarden
Lead single from "Superunknown" and I think I dig this as well. Chris Cornell has described this song has been about a paradox of who an artist is and the perceptions people have of him given he is a street musician and automaticaly as a value placed on him and is wrongfully judged by others and yeah this song adds to that street vibe with the production. Definitely an interesting song.
5. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
So we close out this with a far quieter but still incredibly dark song from U2 from their album Zooropa with this song being inspired by both Frank Sinatra and a film called "Faraway So Close!" (about angels who long to be on Earth and be human) where this ghost basically haunts and follows this woman's every move. Bono sounds incredible here and I actually really love the anthemic instrumentation which gives this song a really spooky vibe. Great song.
No worst of the week this week, none of the songs here deserve that. I am giving best of the week to "In Your Room" by Depeche Mode because that song is bound to stick with me
