Details for positions 41-75 and anything marked "[@]" courtesy of
Chris Dunford(cdun...@dunford.demon.co.uk)
This week : 15 New entries, 2 non-movers, 23 going down and NO CLIMBERS!!
If this the first time it's ever happened?? As I've said before,
the music charts are getting more and more like that video charts
every week.
CHART TIME! :
-------------
(* - my current favourites)
(!!! - Single Of The Week!!!)
(:O === the current all-time hate that makes even my smilie want to hurl!)
( (R) - Repeat., ie. a re-release)
40 NEW ENTRY : Matt Goss - The Key
It just scraped into the Top 40 by a whisker. Personally I thought it would
go the way as his brother Luke's solo singles, but since the split of Bros,
neither twin has found fame or fortune in the UK charts. This single isn't
a lot to shout about....more a lot of shrieking and not a lot going for it
in the originality department. It's been about 4 years since we last heard
anything from Bros, and if this is what he's been working on all that time,
just what has he been doing with the other 3 years and 11 months?
39 NEW ENTRY : Cyndi Lauper - Come On Home
38 (19) FALLER : Shaggy featuring Rayvon - In The Summertime
37 (18) FALLER : Shiva - Freedom (R)
36 (31) FALLER : A.D.A.M. featuring Amy - Zombie
35 (23) FALLER : Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You *
34 NEW ENTRY : Smokie featuring Roy Chubby Brown - Who the F**k is Alice? (R)
33 (25) FALLER : Tina Arena - Heaven Help My Heart
32 NEW ENTRY : Eusebe - Summertime Healing
Oh dear. Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" done by some new upstarts who have
changed the title to a more seasonal "Summertime Healing". (cue the sound of
the Family Fortunes computer when a contestant gets the answer wrong :)
31 (21) FALLER : Ash - Girl from Mars
30 (20) FALLER : Moist - Push (R)
29 (12) FALLER : Levellers - Hope Street
28 (15) FALLER : Shamen - Destination Eschaton
27 NEW ENTRY : Happy Clappers - Hold On
26 (17) FALLER : U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me *
25 NEW ENTRY : Ali Campbell - Let Your Yeah Be Yeah
I really liked this one when it first came out. From the second time onwards
it just gets so repetitive as he says the title again and again and again and..
24 (11) FALLER : Felix - Don't You Want Me (Remix) (R)
23 NEW ENTRY : Bjork - Isobel * !!!
The second single from Bjork's second album "Post", and more of a gentle tune
than the raucous "Army of Me" but just as good and just as incomprehensible.
I'd like to see her release "It's Oh So Quiet" as the next single.
22 (22) NON-MOVER : Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
21 (16) FALLER : The Connells - 74-75 *
This is an excellent slow song, and a makes a refreshing change to all the
rubbish that clogs up most of the chart.
20 (14) FALLER : Supergrass - Alright/Time
19 NEW ENTRY : Real McCoy - Come And Get Your Love
Another big hit for the Real McCoy. This one actually seemed okay at first,
but now it seems more like a copy of Cyndi Lauper's "Hey Now (Girls Just Wanna
Have Fun)" from last year as the initial chorus is 99% the same.
18 (10) FALLER : Outhere Brothers - Boom Boom Boom :O ===
17 (3) FALLER : Boyzone - So Good
16 (9) FALLER : Suggs - I'm Only Sleeping/Off On Holiday
15 NEW ENTRY : Michelle Gayle - Happy Just To Be With You
There seems to be no sign of her career going anywhere but forward, and this
one heads into 70's disco territory...but maybe that's just the Chic riff in
the background :)
14 NEW ENTRY : Xpansions '95 - Move Your Body (R)
For how many years, must we suffer this interminable record. It gets remixed
again and again and again, but still sounds just the same.
13 (13) NON-MOVER : Deuce - On The Bible
Another dire record from Deuce, and I doubt they're religious, but I think
I'm in love with the blonde one ;)
12 NEW ENTRY : The Charlatans - Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over
11 (8) FALLER : Diana King - Shy Guy
10 (7) FALLER : Corona - Try Me Out
9 (5) FALLER : Seal - Kiss From A Rose (R)
8 NEW ENTRY : Madonna - Human Nature *
7 (6) FALLER : JX - Son of a Gun (R)
6 NEW ENTRY : Clock - Everybody
5 (4) FALLER : TLC - Waterfalls
4 (1) FALLER : Take That - Never Forget
3 (2) FALLER : The Original - I Luv U Baby (Remix) (R)
2 NEW ENTRY : Oasis - Roll With It
1 *HIGHEST NEW ENTRY* : Blur - Country House *
The battle for 'who's best' between Oasis and Blur has been going on and on
in the papers recently, but now the argument is over. Blur has won, and
thanks to Chris Dunford for these figures : Blur sold 274 000 copies and
Oasis sold 216 000. Total sales increased by 41%
