Top Mover: "7" - Prince & The New Power Generation (#37 to #28)
Off:  "Someone To Hold" - Trey Lorenz (444), "Erotica" - Madonna (421),
	"Walking On Broken Glass" - Annie Lennox (559), "Free Your
	Mind" - En Vogue (574), "Johnny Have You Seen Her" - The
	Rembrandts (133)
Oldie: "I'd Die Without You" - P.M. Dawn (13 weeks)

Notes:  * "I Will Always Love You" from Whitney Houston holds onto #1
	  for the second consecutive week, while "In The Still Of The
	  Nite (Do You Remember)" from Boyz II Men races up to #2,
	  knocking Bobby Brown to #6. Michael Bolton's rendition of
	  the Bee Gee's "To Love Somebody" also moves strongly from
	  #7 to #4, but faces little hope of taking over #1.
	* Shanice's "Saving Forever For You", another Diane Warren
	  composition, makes another strong move up to #12 and should
	  crack the top 10 next week.
	* Prince & The New Power Generation have the week's top mover
	  with their single "7", while surprisingly Madonna's "Deeper
	  And Deeper" only moves up 8 spots, from #31 to #23, in its
	  second week on the chart.
	* Dan Baird, former lead vocalist for the Georgia Satellites,
	  has the week's highest debut, with "I Love You Period", while
	  INXS and En Vogue hit the Top 40 again. The soundtrack for
	  the film _The Bodyguard_ has two hits on the chart now, as
	  The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M.'s single "It's Gonna Be A Lovely
	  Day" debuts on the chart.
