Top Mover: "Humpin' Around" - Bobby Brown (34-18)
Off: "Make Love Like A Man" - Def Leppard (219), "If You Asked Me To" - Celine
	Dion (752?), "The Way I Feel" - Tag (108), "Baby Got Back" - Sir
	Mix-A-Lot (340), "Achy Breaky Heart" - Billy Ray Cyrus (142)
Oldie: "Just Another Day" - Jon Secada (16 weeks)

Notes: * Mariah Carey's "I'll Be There" has become 1992's top single as of this
	 week according to Radio & Records, surpassing Vanessa Williams'
	 "Save The Best For Last". According to my unofficial rating method,
	 "I'll Be There" has accumulated 767 points in 13 weeks so far.
	 Considering she has at most two weeks left on the chart, she will
	 probably finish off in the range of "Vision Of Love" (783) and
	 "Love Takes Time" (779), short of her top hit "Someday (824), and
	 well off the top hit of the decade, "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)"
	 (880).
       * "End Of The Road" from Boyz II Men has soared up to #3 in its 4th
	 week. Only Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" has gone
	 further in four weeks on the chart (#2). "End Of The Road" is near
	 certain to go #1 next week, displacing "This Used To Be My Playground".
	 Bryan Adams' 1991 summer hit is the only song to go #1 in five weeks
	 since I've been following the charts.
       * Jon Secada's "Just Another Day" shows remarkable resilience, hanging
	 in at #24 in its 16th week. It seems sure to join the elite group of
	 six other songs which have lasted 17 weeks in the top 40, which is
	 the longest any song has endured since I've been following the charts.
	 "Just Another Day"'s #24 ranking in its 16th week is the highest of
	 any song that has lasted 16 weeks, except for Wilson Phillips'
	 "Hold On" (#20).
