13TH APRIL
 It’s Easter and the traditional mini slump kicks in with shops shut an additional day. The charts reflect this with the top two of The Prodigy and Mark Snow repeating their tussle for a third week with exactly the same outcome meaning that “Firestarter” grabs another week at the top with sales off just slightly at 78,000 but its lead is closed to just 8,000 over “X Files” so it seems far from over especially given that Mark Snow was ahead in midweek flashes. Mark Morrison injects a bit of change in the top three as he continues to edge ever closer 4-3 (61,000) and has an outside chance at the top spot if the top 2 collapse.  Highest new entry this week rests at No 6 (39,000) for US rapper 2Pac (real name Tupac Shakur) featuring Dr Dre who you may be more familiar with as a producer for Snoop Doggy Dogg. "California Love" is culled from 2Pac’s 4th album “All Eyez On Me” which is co-produced by Dr Dre and samples several records including a Joe Cocker track from 1972, it becomes Dre’s biggest hit and 2Pac’s first in the UK. The promo was filmed at the same location as the “Thunderdome” from the Mad Max movie.  Up to now Rage Against The Machine’s biggest claim to fame in the UK in when Radio 1 played their single “Killing In The Name” in an unedited version in 1993 including expletives! They’re back though with a second album “Evil Empire” and lead single “Bulls On Parade” which is new at No 8 (27,000) and a stroke becomes their biggest single. Gina G shows sticking power with “Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit” lifting 6-5 (42,000) almost catching Robert Miles at No 4 on the same sales. Gabrielle finally gives up the battle and drifts 5-7 (35,000), DJ Dado eases 8-9 (23,000) with Take That bringing up the rear 9-10 (21,000) whilst remaining No 1 on the album charts. 1- FIRESTARTER- The Prodigy (78,000) 2- THE X FILES- Mark Snow (70,000) 3- RETURN OF THE MACK- Mark Morrison (61,000) 4- CHILDREN- Robert Miles (42,000) 5- OOH AHH JUST A LITTLE BIT- Gina G (42,000) 6- CALIFORNIA LOVE- 2 Pac Ft Dr Dre (39,000) 7- GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE TIME- Gabrielle (35,000) 8- BULLS ON PARADE- Rage Against The Machine (27,000) 9- X FILES- DJ Dado (23,000) 10- HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE- Take That (21,000)

20TH APRIL
 After a record 10 consecutive chart toppers which have debuted there we finally break the spell in the most unexpected of ways with long stayer Mark Morrison ascending 3-1 on a sale of 90,000. “Return Of The Mack” has sold 319,000 already in its 6 weeks around, the last song to take as long before making the top was Celine Dion’s “Think Twice” last year, he also gives Leicester their first chart topping act since Showaddywaddy twenty years ago.  Morrison wasn’t the midweek chart topper though, that was Michael Jackson gunning for his third No 1 song in a row with “They Don’t Care About Us” which ultimately failed, entering at No 4 (65,000) instead. The song has already been the centre of controversy firstly over its lyrics which gave rise to accusations of anti-semitism then over a promo (directed by Spike lee) shot in Rio which the Brazilian government tried to prevent in case scenes of poverty may affect its Olympic games application for 2004. This is Jackson’s 34th top 10 single.  Meanwhile the makeover of Everything But The Girl continues apace from indie/ acoustic to dance and now to jungle (kind of) with new single “Walking Wounded”. Their previous release “Missing” became their biggest hit selling almost 900,000 to date here, it’s been even a bigger hit in the US where it just leaves the top 10 after peaking at No 2 behind Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, in the meantime their new album showcasing the new sound is out next month and the single is new at No 6 (44,000).  After breaking through in January with “Lump” The Presidents Of The United States hit it even bigger with follow up “Peaches” which is new at no 8 (25,000). It was inspired by a real life event when the lead singer sat under a peach tree waiting for a girl to arrive whom he liked, and the track borrows the riff from the 1975 track “Feel Like Makin’ Love” by Bad Company.  Suggs’ solo career has been an overall success thus far, first release was a Beatles cover “I’m Only Sleeping” (No 7) and follow up “Camden Town” fared slightly worse at No 15, his third release from his debut solo album is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Cecilia”. It was never a single in the UK though it made No 4 stateside in 1970, Suggs’ version features Louchie Lou & Michie One who finally get a second top 10 single themselves after a version of the Lulu classic “Shout” made No 7 in 1993. Their reggae tinged version flies 33-9 (25,000) after a performance on the National Lottery Live last Saturday, once again proving the importance of the show. Gina G leaps 5-2 (72,000) as radio cottons onto it, it now equals the peak of Bardo back in 1982 and bodes well for its performance in Eurovision next month, The Prodigy Complete the top 3 as they fall 1-3 (66,000) but ironically were the biggest selling singles act last week after a slew of their previous singles which were re-released, 7 of which all re-enter the top 75. Three other fallers to cover, Mark Snow dips 2-5 (59,000), Robert Miles drifts 4-7 (32,000) and Gabrielle drops 7-10 (24,000). 1- RETURN OF THE MACK- Mark Morrison (90,000) 2- OOH AAH JUST A LITTLE BIT- Gina G (72,000) 3- FIRESTARTER- The Prodigy (66,000) 4- THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US- Michael Jackson (65,000) 5- THE X FILES- Mark Snow (59,000) 6- WALKING WOUNDED- Everything But The Girl (44,000) 7- CHILDREN- Robert Miles (32,000) 8- PEACHES- Presidents Of The United States Of America (30,000) 9- CECILIA- Suggs Ft Louchie Lou & Mitchie One (25,000) 10- GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE TIME- Gabrielle (24,000)

I can't believe 2 Pac's 'California Love' charted only for one week inside Top 10
 It's such a classic nowadays and probably one of the biggest rap songs!!! |

Oh wow at MJ being a midweek #1 with that. It landing at #4 in the end must have came as a shock?
Also totally didn't know 'Missing' did so well in the US! This post has been edited by Jessie Where: Yesterday, 12:24 AM |

Walking Wounded is the best pick out of these 2 weeks, wonderful bit of chill out plus drum n bass.
