M.C. HAMMER NAILS a No. 1 on the Hot Black Albums chart and 11' captures bulleted singles on the rap and black singles charts. "Pump It Up" and "Turn This Mutha Out" move 6-5 and 10-6, respectively, on the kilS, Hot Rap Singles chart; "Mutha" moves 52-43 on the Hot Black Singles chart. Earl Jordan, director of sales and marketing, black music, for Capitol Records' distribution arm, CEMA, reports album sales of more than 475,000. He explains: "The credit for the strategy for the success of this project goes to Hammer. He developed a concept that he calls 'com- pounding single releases.' The plan calls for singles to be released close together, so that once the first single has been worked sufficiently from the street to radio, you begin to nurture the second single in the street. Then, by the time the first record begins to peak at radio, since rap has a relatively quick radio burnout factor, you are already prepared to present the second single. As a result, you keep radio and retail focused on your project." Hammer, a native of Oakland, Calif., celebrated his 26th birthday March 30 ... Speaking of birthdays, best wishes to Lynn Tol- liver, PD WZAK Cleveland, who celebrated his birthday March 28.

TAKE IT FROM THE TOP: "Girl I Got My Eyes On You" by Today (Motown) slides up to the No. 1 spot on the Hot Black Singles chart, gaining mainly at retail. It just barely edges out "I'll Be There For You" by Ashford & Simpson (Capitol). "Girl" ranks No. 2 at radio and No. 3 at retail, but combined points put it at the top of the chart. No. 1 in total radio points is "Every Little Step" by Bobby Brown (MCA). Brown continues to build his string of hits with 15 No. 1 reports, and 79 out of 98 stations show the record moving up on their lists.

THREE RECORDS on the black singles chart pick up significant radio station adds but are overshadowed by 47 stronger records and nine debuts. "Days Like This" by Sheena Easton (MCA) gets upward movement on 42 radio playlists and develops new activity at seven stations: WDAS Philadelphia; KMJM St. Louis; KQXL Baton Rouge, La.; WXOK Baton Rouge, La.; KMJJ Shreveport, La.; KYEA Monroe, La.; and WGCI Chicago. "Are You Lonely Tonight" by Constina (Columbia) gains on 22 station playlists and adds five stations for a total of 57. The record is new at WATV Birmingham, Ala.; KYEA Monroe, La.; WDZZ Flint, Mich.; WCDX Richmond, Va.; and WZAK Cleveland. After last week's 23- position chart move, "All Or Nothing At All" by At Jarreau (Reprise) produces four new station adds and advances on 21 playlists. WATV Birmingham, Ala.; WQQK Raleigh N.C.; KATZ St. Louis; and WWWZ Greenville, N.C., report new activity.

WE'VE FOUND AT LEAST ONE black person who reports that he in received an Arbitron diary. Joey Bonner, VP of Warlock Records í iilJalyilllul.iii.i Ji a1ii:71.A:i+:ia New York, says "I was shocked. I had never even heard of anyone black actually getting a diary, so you can imagine my surprise when I received one for the Fall '88 book." Bonner, a music industry veteran, goes on to say: "I think [Arbitron] must have gotten confused by my midtown Man- hattan address and sent it to me by mistake."

Egberto Gismonti is certainly not a household name among the general population, or for that matter, among sophisticated music enthusiasts. Un- fortunately, while this classical /jazz performance at the 1987 Arts Festi- val in Freiburg, West Germany, is ad- mirable for the beauty of Gismonti's guitar and piano movements, it lacks the depth that might change that situation. Gismonti is a Brazilian musician who has spent a great deal of time in formal training, and this might just be the problem. There is a decided lack of spontaneity and flash in his playing. It is polite and techni- cally competent, but that's all. More- over, his group also misses the mark in the same respect. Gismonti did receive acclaim for his first album-it was nominated for Stereo Review's album of the year-but this release will probably not win over any new MI audiences.

"Songs Unwritten: A Tap Dancer Remembered," The Leon Collins Archives Inc., 59 minutes, $49.50. Tap dancing, like the yo-yo, is a recurring phenomenon. It periodically enjoys tremendous bursts of popularity, but it never totally sinks into oblivion due, in large part, to people like Leon Collins. This documentary tracing Collins' life is an absorbing profile of one of Ameri- ca's premier tap dancers. In addition to performance footage, there are interviews with such contemporaries of Collins as Dizzy Gillespie, as well as Collins' top three students -Pam Raff, C.B. Hethering- ton, and Diane Walker -all of whom are carrying on in the Collins tradition. This is a moving tribute to a man who had truly mastered his art form. Anyone who has ever attempted to tap or enjoys splendid hoofing will delight in this program. R.T.R.

logica Survey Predicts Britain's Satellite TV Penetration By 1990 LONDON A major new survey forecasts that the number of U.K. SIN6 0[1r homes receiving satellite television, newly launched here, by the end of 1991 will be between 1.6 million and 2.2 million. At least 45% of homes will own a satellite TV receiver, or STR, with the remainder receiving via community cable systems. According to the Logica report, 105,000 receivers are now installed, a number that is expected to rise to 950,000 by the end of 1990. The number of STRs will hit its domestic peak by the end of 1992 and thereafter see its share eroded by communal reception, cable, and multiple DTH, which allows reception of channels from different satellites on different TV sets in the home.

PETER JONES AD DEADLINE: April 25 London, England `Elvis' Musical OK'd For Soviet Tour 44-1-439-9411 MOSCOW The successful London stage musical "Forever Elvis" is to tour the Soviet Union for five weeks this summer. Russian authorities finally OK'd the deal after studying a video of the original show and hearing the music. The plot traces Presley's life and includes many of his hits. Producer /director Barry White's daughter, 8 -year-old Elvisa Lisa-Marie, plays Presley's daughter, and is thus set to become the youngest Western entertainer to appear in the Soviet Union. VADIM YURCHENKOV M/OEM Names Communications Head PARIS The MIDEM Organization here has named Bill Grantham as head of communications, reporting to joint MDs Xavier Roy and Bill Bingham. Currently editor of Television Business International, which is jointly owned by Telso Communications (which bought the MIDEM Organization in 1986), Grantham assumes the post this month and is responsible for overall planning and development of MIDEM publications (including MIDEM News, MIP -TV News, and MIPCOM News), and will also expand the group's publishing activities.

"Girl You Know It's True" by Milli Vanilli (Arista) is still No. 1 in sales points but slips to No. 3 overall. Both "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals (I.R.S.) and Ma- donna's "Like A Prayer" (Sire) are within striking distance of the top for next week, so it should be a real battle. INCERELY YOURS" by Sweet Sensation (Ateo) wins the Power SENSATIONAL! Pick /Sales, as the record leaps nine places to No. 21. This is a breakthrough for the New York trio, and also a breakthrough for Latin -based pop music, pioneered by the Miami Sound Machine. The record is top five in Portland, Maine (10 -5 at WTHT), El Paso, Texas (6-4 at Z93), and Albuquerque, N.M. (5-3 at KKSS). Two other records with a New York Hispanic base are bulleted in the top 40: Sa- Fire's ballad, "Thinking Of You," moves to No. 23, with 11 top five radio reports, including No. 1 at KITY San Antonio, Texas; and Stevie B's "I Wanna Be The One" jumps seven places to No. 34, with top five reports from Z100 New York (8-5) and FM102 Sacramento, Calif., (11 -4), and No. 1 reports from Califor- nia's KDON Salinas and KWSS San Jose.

THE AIRPLAY POWER PICK goes to "Electric Youth" by Debbie Gibson (Atlantic), which just edges out "Rock On" by Michael Damian (Cypress). The latter single is the most -added record on the chart (62 adds), and already has 17 top 20 radio reports, including jumps of 16 -8 at KZBS Oklahoma City, 27 -19 at Z100 Portland, Ore., and 17 -9 at KXXR Kansas City. The second most -added song, with 61 adds, is "I'll Be Lov- ing You (Forever)" by New Kids On The Block (Columbia), which is already top 10 at X100 San Francisco. SWEET

THE SEVEN NEW ENTRIES are led by Guns N' Roses' "Patience" (Geffen), whose high debut at No. 66 is aided by its previous play at many stations as an album cut. Four artists make their Hot 100 bows. A SENSATION duo from Wales called Waterfront (Polydor) enters with "Cry," scoring an impressive 48 adds out of the box to debut at No. 78. The other three (with Romeo J.D.) newcomers are American: Figures On A Beach hail from Detroit, entering with a cover of Bachman -Turner Overdrive's No. 1 hit "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" (Sire); Minneapolis quartet the Replacements debut "SINCERELY YOURS" at No. 93 with their former No. 1 hit on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, (7- 99246) (PRCD 2583) "I'll Be You" (Sire); and Kansas native Melissa Etheridge bows at No. from the album 94 with "Similar Features" (Island), which is breaking out of Portland, Ore.
