A brief analysis on the current chart situation…

Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…
34 Tamba Trio – Mas Que Nada
Speeded-up dance version of the classic samba tune.
15 2 Pac & Notorious BIG – Runnin’ :O ===
Two of the biggest stars in rap on their first-ever collaboration. Given thatthey’re both dead because of each other, one topping the other one first beforethe second one was killed in retaliation, they probably deserve each other.
12 Don Henley – Boys Of Summer (R) *
Re-release of the classic tune from the ex-Eagles member which made No.12 inFebruary 1985 and continues to get plenty of airplay.
Other classic tracks which have been released include “Dirty Laundry” (No.59,Feb 83), “The End Of The Innocence” (No.48, July 89) and a duet with PattySmyth, “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough” (No.22, Oct 92).
9 Garbage – I Think I’m Paranoid *
Second single from “Version 2.0”, their second album, and one that easily topsthe excellent “Push It”.
1 (NEW) Another Level – Freak Me :O === *1st Week at No.1*
Second single for this teen band and a godawful cover of the godawful Silksong which only made No.46 for them in April 93, followed by a re-entry atNo.72 in February 94.

Dominator’s Top 10 of 1997
29. Kylie Minogue – Some Kind Of Bliss
Of the two singles released last year, this one was the better of the two andmade No.22 in September. After the poppyness of the Stock/Aitken/Waterman years,and the slighty-weird-but-all-the-better-for-it-ness of her eponymous lastalbum, Kylie found herself in the charts with more of a rocky song than she’sused to. At the time, it wasn’t known what the new album would be called as thethe title has been changed from the original proposition, “Impossible Princess”.
It was released in early 1998 with the title “Kylie Minogue”, the thirdself-titled album. The other hits so far from it are “Did It Again” (No.14,Dec 97) and “Breathe” (No.14, Mar 98).
The end bit :
Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me atCharts Request to tell me.
