No change in the top 3 with XTC climbing back up to #4 after falling last week.

We had the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert at Wembley just recently and Extreme were among the performers and their contribution "Love Of My Life" is on the B-side of "Song For Love" but the A-side is a total anthem. I did mention they were going to have a massive hit in my chart and it isn't "More THan Words".

Entering next after that, a classic ballad by Metallica that has major crossover appeal and surely will be a big hit in the combi-chart.

Ugly Kid Joe's song "Everything About You" was from the Wayne's World soundtrack.

"Temple Of Love" was an old song by Sisters Of Mercy but this is a brand new version and features guest vocals from Ofra Haza.

And completely a great week for rock entries, the Black Crowes biggest UK hit "Remedy" is the 5th highest entry.

"Thrill Me" and "In The Closet" were further releases from Stars and Dangerous respectively, helping those remain big-selling albums. The former was the biggest selling album in 1992 as well as in 1991. The latter contained a "mystery girl" who turned out to be Grace Kelly's daughter Princess Stephanie. Michael Jackson had the bigger hit singles of the two, but of course Simply Red sold more albums. Between those is an entry by Kim Wilde which sounds more like a Belinda Carlisle song.

"We thought of doing it this way first..." I rejected KWS's cover of KC & The Sunshine Band's "Please Don't Go" and this week entered Double You's version. I did consider adding "Gameboy" to the playlist but when it wasn't on Spotify I didn't bother.

[popchartfreak]

It's a hat-trick of Trevor Horn-produced chart-toppers for Marc Almond and his latest single from Tenement Symphony, his cover of The Days Of Pearly Spencer, a highly-regarded 60's flop. That keeps off a massive leap from Sisters Of Mercy, with a little help from Ofra Haza as she gets a second number two 4 years on from I'm Nin Alu, and the Temple Of Love is probably the best Sisters Of Mercy goth anthem. Julian Lennon gets a 3rd top 10, Get A Life, and XTC about the same as The Disappointed makes it 13 years since the fab making Plans For Nigel did it first. Kim Wilde is at 5 with Love Is Holy, and I saw her in concert last week doing the track. Still fab in every way, both.

Rozalla's back with Are You Ready To Fly at a new peak of 12 - quite a few about-face reversals back up the chart, I suspect I bought the latest Now album this week. Soul II Soul keep the top 20's coming with Joy, and the highest new record is En Vogue and the great My Lovin' at 22, and Gary Moore replaces himself in the top 75 with Story Of The Blues at 27, doing what it says on the tin. Natalie Cole morphs into dad Nat 'King' Cole's back catalogue as she prepares a whole album of his standards and a tour with a full orchestra - which I went to see. New at 37.

SL2 are On A Ragga Tip at 47, Shakespear's Sister follow-up a monster with a great track, I Don't Care at 51, Joe Cocker extends his chart career to 24 years with another Blues ballad, Carter amuse at 66, and the best new entry is from Richard Marx slipping in at 71 with his still career-best Hazard. Lionel Richie extends his career to 18 years, 1974 being the year he debuted as part of The Commodores on the funktastic instrumental Machine Gun, before he became terminally solo dull in the 80's, but still managing to Do It To Me in 1992.
