CHARTIFACTS OF THE TOP 10:
==========================

(1)---> For the sixth big week in a row, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus
is the owner of the biggest selling single in Australia this week.
This means that he ties with Jose Carreras and Sarah Brightman
for the longest stay at number one this year in Australia.  However,
it looks like that ACHY BREAKY HEART will become the biggest selling
single this year in Australia.

(2)---> While Billy Ray Cyrus is breaking records due to his
long stay at number one, so are Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson.
Their single, THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE, spends its 5th
big week at number 2 this week!

(3)---> The latest single by Boyz II Men has "number one" written all over
it.  END OF THE ROAD moves up four places to number three this week,
after spending months at number one in the U.S. for this American
group.  While Boyz II Men move up 4 places, the singles that were at
numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 last week all move down one spot.

(8)---> Guns 'N' Roses are having a rather unusual time on the charts
lately, considering the chart run of their fifth single was half-over
by the time their fourth single from the USE YOUR ILLUSION albums
peaked!  NOVEMBER RAIN moves back up to number 8 this week, after
peaking at number 5 last month.  The U-turn on the charts of NOVEMBER
RAIN is probably attributed to the fact that Melbourne music buyers
were a bit slow in picking up on NOVEMBER RAIN.  It is only in the
last couple of weeks that NOVEMBER RAIN has gone top 10 in Victoria,
even though it went to number 5 nationally over 2 months ago.

(10)---> There are two new records into the top 10 this week.  One
is the re-entry of WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, from Riff, while the other
is the latest release from Bon Jovi.  KEEP THE FAITH enters the
top 10 for the very first time at number ten this week.  This is the
first Bon Jovi single since lead singer, Jon, decided to have a bit
of a stint as a solo performer.  His solo career was quite
successful, yielding the Australian number one single, BLAZE
OF GLORY, and the top 10 single, MIRACLE, back in 1990.  These
records featured on the soundtrack to the movie, YOUNG GUNS II.
