Top Mover: "Deeper And Deeper" - Madonna (debut to #31)
Off:  "I Will Be Here For You" - Michael W. Smith (348), "Digging In The
	Dirt" - Peter Gabriel (146), "Would I Lie To You" - Charles &
	Eddie (557), "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" - Patty Smyth
	(842?), "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" - Def Leppard (621),
	"Washed Away" - Tom Cochrane (65)
Oldie: "Walking On Broken Glass" - Annie Lennox (13 weeks)

Notes:  * Whitney Houston set the Radio & Records record for quickest ascent
	  to #1, as "I Will Always Love You" hit the top spot this week after
	  only three weeks on the chart. It seems certain to hold the #1 spot
	  through to at least 1993.
	* Boyz II Men's "In The Still Of The Nite (Do You Remember)" and
	  Shai's "If I Ever Fall In Love" make solid moves forward, up six
	  notches each, while "Faithful" from Go West and "Saving Forever For
	  You" from Shanice surge from the lower end of the chart.
	* Madonna debuted this week with her second single off the "Erotica"
	  CD, "Deeper And Deeper", while Celine Dion continued her run of
	  singles off her epnonymously-titled CD with "Love Can Move
	  Mountains". Shakespear's Sister also hits with their second North
	  American single, "I Don't Care", while Prince & The New Power
	  Generation debut for the first time since "Money Don't Matter 2
	  Night" with "7".
