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

(1)---> Boyz II Men spend their fourth week at number one this week on
the Australian singles charts, with their single, END OF THE ROAD.
With only one more week of charts until Christmas, it looks like this
record might hold on to be the biggest selling single over Christmas.
Meanwhile, their album, COOLEYHIGHHARMONY goes top 10 on our album
charts this week.  Their second single, IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT,
is currently at number 4 in the U.S. this week.

(3)---> As Christmas draws near, Charles & Eddie also have their sights
set on a number one here over Christmas.  WOULD I LIE TO YOU moves up
one more place to number three this week.

(4)---> Last week, Frente's new album, MARVIN THE ALBUM, stormed into
the Australian albums chart at number 5.  This week, the album stays 
at number 5, while the first single from that album, titled ACCIDENTALLY
KELLY STREET, moves up one place to number four this week.  Their last
top 5 hit on the singles chart was the CLUNK E.P. which went to number
three for the Melbourne band a few months ago.

(5)---> There is only one new entry into the top 10 this week.  Bulleting up
a massive  eleven places, from number 16 to 5 this week, is the latest
offering from Whitney Houston.  The ballad, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU,
is currently number one in the U.S. and U.K., and looks like a hot
contender for number one here.

(7)---> The fourth single from Guns 'N' Roses' USE YOUR ILLUSION double
album, NOVEMBER RAIN, stays put at number 7 this week. Meanwhile,
the fifth single, KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR, already peaked a few months
ago at number 12, and is at number 46 this week.  The sixth single, 
YESTERDAYS, also appears to have peaked at number 28 two weeks ago, and is 
now at number 36 this week.
