Wah hold onto number one again this week for the fourth time, quite an achievement as there are so many great songs charting below it. In-fact the whole Top three is unchanged this week with Men At Work staying down under and the Maisonettes staying down heartache avenue. The highest new entry comes from Michael Jackson at eight but Prince is not far behind with a new track at ten.
