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

(1)---> For the third consecutive week in a row, the biggest selling
single in Australia is Billy Ray Cyrus's country smash, ACHY BREAKY HEART.
And on our albums charts, Billy is at number one for a second week with
the album SOME GAVE IT ALL.  The albums charts has a major shake-up
this week, with the Australian content dropping from 70% back down
to 50%.  New into the albums chart at number 2 is the brand new album
for R.E.M. titled AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE.  This features the former
U.K. top 10 single, called DRIVE.  New into the top 10 albums chart at 
number 3 is the latest release from Peter Gabriel.  The album is
simply called US, and features the single DIGGING IN THE DIRT.  What
a remarkable video that is for that single - very entertaining seeing
things is slow motion, and in fast motion.  And no doubt a terribly
expensive video to make with all the special effects!

(2)---> From the soundtrack to the movie "MO's MONEY" comes the number
two single of the week from Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross.  THE
BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE spends a second week at number 2.

(3)---> The biggest mover within the top 10 this week comes from local
artist John Paul Young.  The BALLROOM MIX of LOVE IS IN THE AIR moves
up a big 5 places to come in at number 3 this week, riding high
on the success of the Australian movie, STRICTLY BALLROOM.

(4)---> New into the top 10 this week is Wendy Matthews.  Originally
from Canada, Wendy came to Australia to pursue a musical career a few
years ago.  Her first release from her current top ten album, LILY, is 
called THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY, and it bullets up seven places, from number 11 
to number 4 this week.  This is the first time Wendy has made the top 10 on
her own in Australia.  She did make it to number 4 two years ago as
a member of the Aussie group Absent Friends, with the single I DON'T
WANT TO BE WITH NOBODY BUT YOU.

(10)---> The second new entry into the top 10 this week is from another
local act.  This brings the Aussie content up to 30% on the top 10
singles chart this week.  Moving up 2 places to come in at number 10
this week is Euphoria, with their third single titled DO FOR YOU.
This single has been very slow to take off, spending nearly three whole
months in the top 30 before finally cracking the top 10 this week.
By making the top 10 this week, that means Euphoria have sent EVERY
record they have released top 10, including two number ones - LOVE
YOU RIGHT and ONE IN A MILLION.  On the B-Side of DO FOR YOU is the 
single they released in the U.S. called BABY I WANT IT, and it features
American rapper YOUNG M.C. on lead vocals.
