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

(1)---> For the second week in a row, American country singer Billy
Ray Cyrus has the biggest selling single in Australia, with his
world-wide smash, ACHY BREAKY HEART.  This is the first track off his
album, SOME GAVE IT ALL, which bullets up to number one on the Australian
albums chart in only its second week on the charts!  And you might be
wondering, when was the last time an artist had a number one album
and a number one single at the SAME time?  Well, before Billy Ray Cyrus,
the last artist to top the singles and albums chart at the same time was
the Red Hot Chili Peppers in April of this year.  UNDER THE BRIDGE (the
single), and BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK (the album) were both at number one
then.

(2)---> Just falling short of number one this week is the duet from
Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross.  THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE
bullets up from number 7 to number 2, ready to take over from Billy
Ray Cyrus at number one next week.

(4)---> With the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games well behind us now,
the theme song from those games is still charting strongly.  After
spending 10 weeks in the top 10, with six of those weeks at number
one, FRIENDS FOR LIFE (AMIGOS PARA SIEMPRE) moves back one spot to
number 4 this week for Jose Carreras and Sarah Brightman.  It seems
that it was only in Australia that this single really sold well.
It only just made it to number 10 in most places in Europe, and failed to
make the top 40 in the U.S.  However, that single looks like being
the biggest selling single of the year in Australia!

(8)---> Our only new entry into the top 10 this week comes from
our own John Paul Young.  The Ballroom Mix of the 1978 international
smash, LOVE IS IN THE AIR, climbs 3 places up to number 8 this week.
This song features in the soundtrack to the Australian movie,
STRICTLY BALLROOM.  The STRICTLY BALLROOM soundtrack is at number 10
this week on the Australian Albums charts.  The entry of this single
into the top 10 ends a multi-week drought of no Australian artists
in the top 10 singles chart.  However, the story on the albums
chart is quite different.  A whopping SEVEN out of the top 10 albums
this week are by Australian artists!!!  This is a fantastic
achievement, and was helped by Wendy Matthew's album debut at number
six this week.  The album, titled LILY, features the top 20 single, THE 
DAY YOU WENT AWAY.
