82 BILLBOARD FEBRUARY 23, 1991 www.americanradiohistory.com OF Of ¡HE CHARIS

by Michael Ellis A SID 10P MIND. biLL THE MAN THAT I NEED" by Whitney Houston (Arista) hits No. Of 1 in sales, airplay, and overall by a large margin. "Gonna Make You Sweat" by C &C Music Factory (Columbia) begins to slip on the sales side and goes to No. 2 overall. Both One More Try" by Timmy T. (Quality) and "Some- day" by Mariah Carey (Columbia) are making enormous point gains and are within striking distance of No. 1 for next week, so look for a tough three -way battle.

LET'S DO ANOTHER OF our periodic comparisons of the Top 40 Radio Monitor and the Hot 100 airplay-only chart (page 82). After an amazing seven weeks at No. 1, "Love Will Never Do" by Janet Jackson falls to No. 3 on the Monitor while the album cut "State Of The World," not eligible to chart on the Hot 100, explodes from No. 65 to No. 15. Although "Love" is "Somclhing In My Heart" still No. 3 in actual airplay, it drops from 6-10 in reported airplay as some stations take it off their official playlists but still are playing it. Only five of the 112 stations currently being monitored are not playing the record but 94 from the Sclf- lillcd, _, of the 244 reporters to the Hot 100 are not listing it. "Someday" by Mariah Carey is No. 1 on the Monitor but No. 2 behind Whitney Houston in report- soon -Fo -be ed airplay. Both Houston's single and Celine Dion's are held back a bit on the Monitor (No. 8 and No. 9 vs. No. 1 and No. 3, respectively) because some stations are still dayparting them out of nights. MM. (912821 SINGLES THAT DO BEST in large markets are higher on the Monitor Q since it includes only 68 markets vs. more than 100 for the Hot 100 chart. Examples include the singles by Londonbeat, jumping 19-10 on the Moni- IFs tor vs. 30-16 on the Hot 100 airplay-only chart; Tara Kemp, 17-11 vs. 25.20; and "Together Forever" by Lisette Melendez, 37 -26 on the Monitor but not winning yet on the top 40 airplay -only chart. On the flip side, singles doing best in smaller markets include those by Styx, 15-8 on the Hot 100 airplay-only chart vs. 26-23 on the Monitor, INXS, 10-9 vs. 21 -19; Warrant, 14-11 vs. 31- everyone's 32; and Chris Isaak, 21 -17 vs. 41-41. (The latter is No. '7 on the overall Hot 100, because it's No. 4 in sales.) Some dance records do especially well on Hari. the Monitor because it picks up play on special mix shows, which would not "vr normally be reported to the trades. Examples include the singles by Cul- Repleseulalioo JIFFY Nellef ture Beat and En Vogue, which are Nos. 56 and 64, respectively, on the Monitor but not on the Hot 100. And one final special case of note: Whitney Houston's rendition of the national anthem is on 80 stations of the 112 being monitored, and ranks No. 54 on the Monitor, but is being reported by only four of those stations, so it is not on the Hot 100 as of yet. "Just ¡he Way It Is, Baby" I9öC--: QUICK CUTS: The seven debuts include the first Hot 100 entry, "I Like The Way" (Jive), for Hi -Five, a teen quintet whose members are from from Om self- fifled album. Waco, Texas, and Oklahoma City ... Madonna is sure to have a top 15 (91412' debut next week for "Rescue Me" (Sire) as it finally will be commercially Wilfh sales over released; it's already No. 7 in airplay points ... Two hot new artists have the Power Picks this week: Londonbeat wins on the airplay side for the 150,000, second week in a row with "I've Been Thinking About You" (Radioactive); and Gerardo makes the biggest sales -point gain with "Rico Suave" (Inter - scope), jumping from No. 59 to No. 41 on the chart.
