All 4 1994 10th April. Hush, Is It Love, My Sweet Lover? I'm Ready so Sail Away

Let's not waste time and get stuck into this week because the top four pretty much remains the same as last week. Of course, "It's Alright" by East 17 remains number one for a sixth week and it's sales aren't as steady as they once were, things might be about to get interesting.

This could pave the way for a challenge for number one by "The Power of Love" by Celine Dion which held at number two and is gaining strength across the board, it's just a matter of time as to when it will make it's move.

"Without You" by Mariah Carey remains at number three whi,e "Whatta Man" by Salt 'n' Pepa feat. En Vogue is stuck at number four. 

Up two places to number five is "Dum Da Dum" by Melodie MC while "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen remained rooted to the number six spot.

"Dum Da Dum" made an effective swap though as "Sing Hallelujah" by Dr Alban fell back two places to number seven while rising two spots is "Loser"
 by Beck to  number eight.

One of the biggest gains of thr week belongs to "The Sign" by Ace of Base which climbed from forty one to number nine this week, this song is going to be huge and will probably make a play for number one within in weeks, you have been warned here. 

Rounding out the top ten is "Said I Loved You...But I Lied" by Michael Bolton down two spots to number ten...thank god the traction for this song is rapidly dying out and this awful drudge of a song is going away. 

Losers

Cut 'N' Move's "Peace, Love & Harmony" down eight to forty eight while former chart topper "All For Love" by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting slipped eleven to forty one, the same goes for "Movin' On Up" by M People which slipped from twenty four to thirty two. 

While "Asshole" by Denis Leary slipped from sixteen to twenty one.

Gains

So outside of the  massive gain for Ace of Base's "The Sign" into the top ten, what other major gains occurred? Well, somehow people are in love with 2 Unlimited's "Let the Beat Control Your Body" even if I am not so that's up from forty seven to thirty nine. 

"Dry County" by Bon Jovi jumped eight to thirty one while Engima's "Return to Innocence" jumped nine places to twenty four. 

Finally the second biggest gain of the week belongs to Toni Braxton as "Breathe Again" jumped ten places to number twelve. 

New Entries

Four new entries all in the lower quarter of the chart this week so let's begin with...

49. "Sail Away" by Urban Cookie Collective

You can all relax this is not a knock off of Enya's 1989 hit "Orinoco Flow"...thank god but it is more hedonistic dance music where it's more about the beat than anything that is said in the song because the vocals can barely be made out over the thumping electronic music and what sounds like somebody trying to burp politely over and over again (See Ginuwine, this is how you burp in a song). Next!. 

46, "I'm Ready" by Tevin Campbell

Another Tevin Campbell song and can only hope that this one is better than the previous effort and yeah, it is better! There's a gentle r'n'b groove that kind of works here and even if Campbell's voices on the second verse bug me, they still sound like a lamb bleating but the chorus sounds good and he does sound believeable as he begs this girl to make a conmitment to him and acknowledge that she's ready to love him. It's fine, check it out if you are curious.

45. "Hush Sweet Lover" by K.D Lang.

I was really looking forward to checking out this song especially after Urban Cookie Collective and Tevin Campbell so what did we get? A pretty gorgeous love ballad that verges on almost being jazz where Lang begs her lover to be quiet and just let her love them and them to share their love with her and she is just owning this song vocally. This is exactly what I needed. CHECK THIS OUT!!

40. "Is It Love?" by Twenty 4 Seven feat. Stacy-C and Nance

And from KD Lang's beautiful vocals straight back into eurodance and big beats although I will say "Slave to the Music" is a decently good song so I was curious as to what the follow up  would be like and yeah, I definitely like this softer sound that make the vocals clearer and its actually really nice song where it's somebody wanting to know if the other person is seeking love and genuine connection from them on the dancefloor, I do buy it especially given the vocals are surprisingly emotional and that kind of works. Good song.

However best of the week is going to KD Lang for "Hush Sweet Lover". Worst of the week is going to Urban Cookie Collective for "Sail Away"
