ALEXANDRA'S NEWS -CORNER Hi, LIMAHL (former frontman of KAJAGOOGOO) has just given the finishing touch to his debut solo album. There will be a release of his second single Too Much Trouble, May 14th. Currently Pretty UMAHL is in Australia, not to get a suntan, but to shoot the video which accompanies his single. It will be produced by well-known RUSSEL MALCAHY* The 30th of April sees the release of a newly signed act UPTOWN HORN BAND, who emulate from New York. There's also a quiet nice story to it: Their 7" single Effects With My Ex follows the 12" version Sex With My Ex. The 7" title Adaptation has been made to avoid any possible airplay problem. Which seems a wise decision to me! Releases are set for Holland, Germany and France. The band is very vibrant, who played their debut hit to overseas EMI personal at Septembers Conference. Early this summer they crossed the Atlantic again to play European dates. Undoubtfully, we'll hear more about them!* Australian group INXS is back in Europe for promotion and concert dates including gigs in Germany (plus shootings for Rockpalast 1V), France (plus doing Cadence 3 TV), Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and the. Further promotional details will be announced shortly. Their single Original Sin jumped last week from 87 to 75 in the US Billboards Hot 100 and is presently at nr. 18 in the Dance Charts.* As announced in the earlier issue. MINK DE VILLE is back in Europe to do us the pleasure of his presence again! With 6 dates already confirmed in Holland alone. WILLIE DE VILLE is doing one performance on special invitation by the organizers of the Edison Gala in Holland. His album Where Angels Fear To Tread, did not get a nomination but the organizers were so impressed by his product to invite him as a special guest. It will be broadcasted by Vara tv* BOBBY WOMACK, is a new signing to MCA. His new album though, has to wait for its release until the end of this year. His recently in America released album The Poet Two is still not available overherel* TOD RUNDGREN is currently together in the studio with JOE 'SMILEY' JACKSON and DONALD FAGEN, to record an album in honour of a Jazz Musician, (now you're all asking his name - I've forgottenl)* SEE PAGE 11

TALENT FROM :1:13aNf1 NMOO In this section we will take a closer look at the Australian charts as compiled by Kent Music Report (for more information please write to PO Box 249, St. Ives, NSW 2075., Australia). Australia Top 5 Singles: ()Nena- 99 Luftballons 2. Cyndi Lauper- Girls Just Want To Have Fun 3. Thompson Twins- Hold Me Now 4. INXS- I Send A Message 5. Marilyn- Calling Your Name So, the Aussies also discovered the impact of Nena, the single is already 4th week at the top (German version! in the and the US this one had to be translated to make it digestible for the jocks). I Send A Message stayed several weeks at the nr. 1 position just like the previous release Original Sin from this talented band INXS. Marilyn seems to be very popular, something he (she) never succeeded in, outside of the. The fastest moving singles this week in the Australian charts are nearly all very familiar to us Europeans: Weird Al Yankovic- Eat It (new at 9), Kenny Loggins- Footloose (30 to 13), Nik Kershaw- Wouldn't It Be Good (25 to 15), Culture Club- It's A Miracle (47 to 17), Mel Brooks- To Be Or Not To Be (new at 42), Redgum- I've Been To Bali Too (this new Australian band moves from 93 to 44) and Kids In The Kitchen- Bitter Desire (Australian band as well, new at 54). Further Australian acts worth mentioning and doing well in the charts are: Cold Chisel- Saturday Night (11), Jane Clifton- Girl On The Wall (14), Real Life- Catch Me I'm falling (19), Mondo Rock- Baby Wants To Rock (20) and Come Said The Boy (at 33), Mi- Sex- Blue Day (24), QED - Everywhere I Go (31), Dear Enemy- The Good Life (46), Split Enz- Message To My Girl (58) and Icehouse- Taking The Town. ustralia Top 5 Albums: c1. old Chisel- Twentieth Century.A., The Swing 3. Michael Jackson- Thriller 4. Elton John- Too Low For Zero 5. Dire Straits- Alchemy Cold Chisel, an Australian act, who despite a lot of international appeal never broke outside their home market (lust like e.g. Midnight Oil), are this week first at the top. Again INXS at the top of the charts and poor old Michael Jackson should be satisfied with the nr. 3 position. Fastest moving albums this week are: Thompson Twins- Into The Gap (new at 6), the Footloose soundtrack moves from 67 to 23, Sunnyboys (Australian)- Get Some Fun (new at 45), Diana Ross- The Diana Ross Story (new 49), Black And White Minstrels- 40 Singalong Hits (new at 54) and, due to a very succesful tour we meet the Canadian rockapella act The Nylons with their critically acclaimed album One Size Fits All at 59 (from 93).

For those who like comfortable soft swinging pop songs this is an absolute recommendation. The album has already yielded the hit single I Don't Know What it Is But I Love It but there are more potential hits like Reasons and Ace Of Hearts. A very pleasant and enjoyable album. Mathilde Sanfing/Dennis Duchhart- Water Under The Bridge- Megadisc Mathilde's 2nd album, this time together with Dennis Duchhart known through his work with a.o the Dutch group The Tapes. The songs are all very modest in an almost classical setting. The earlier poppy/nostalgic approach has moved into one that lacks a bit the commercial impact her first album had. Very well suited for nighttime play. Laura Branigan - Self Control- Atlantic After two very succesful albums with hits like Gloria and Solitaire, Atlantic boss Ahmut Ertegun protege Laura Branigan continues in much the same melodic and powerful vein. Striking is the European feel which shines through songs like Ti Amo (another Umberto Tozzi composition), Self Control and Breaking Out. This album should have no trouble making the charts. 15

However there are other countries where various charts are in existence and often equally important. For these countries we have compiled a number of these charts Into one representing the sales in that market. Each chart position for every country then receives. relevant to that position. an equal points rating which is in turn multiplied by a factor determined through the latest known sales percentage of total singles (or album) sales which that country holds in relation to the resit of Europe. There are different percentages for singles and alburns.these figures are kindly provided on a regular basis by the industry -organisations such as IEPI-13P -Gallup -Deutsche Phonoverband elc.a European Chart -Committee, with experts from a number of these Industry -organisations all overlook the calculation system and will decide an improvements, changes and updates. For the EUROPEAN TOP 1P0 SINGLES 25 shads are used from 16 countess, for the EUROPEAN TOP 100 ALBUMS 20 charts are used from 15 countries. Since the sales percentages of a few countries are too small to get their hits into the EUROPEAN TOP 100 (provided these records are not charted in any other terntory). we are also printing a TOP 3 IN EUROPE list each week. The EUROPEAN AIRPLAY TOP 60 is compiled through all our correspondents tips received this weeknieecords of the week receive extra paints. The airplay lists of the airplay report organisations within some of the European countries are also used in the calculations, as well as playlists of major radio stations.riplease note that not all received tips appear in Eurotipsheet but they are all used for the cdoulation of the Airplay Top 60.

BBC RADIO LONDON - GUY HORNSBY Guy's prime activity during the week is his work as producer for the Tony Blackburn show, one that has now the biggest listening audience during the week on Radio London. Besides having its own section in England's weekly tradepaper Musicweek, the impact of the program can be demonstrated through the releases in the of many of the US Import Records. imirrphas been working on the Tony Blackburn show for the past three years and as a producer was responsible for the change in musicformat of the program to one that is primarily concerned with soul and funk music. The program is broadcasted between 9 and midday, monday to friday..tairay joined the radio 5 to 6 years ago and before that he was employed as a computer programmer. He started a phone-in program and then did a weekend program for 4 and a half years. "Radio was something I always wanted to do since I was a kid and in fact can't figure out anything else interesting. Oh..yes, radio could have the power to make or break records, but it's never one jock doing it on it's own and in the end it's always the audience that decides". Apart from his connection with the Tony Blackburn show he also no - produces and presents two weekend breakfast programs called "London Today".

Next week we'll have our feature again on the Northern Correspondents. The Scandinavian Singles Top 20 SW-Sweden; D=denmark; N=Norway; F= Finland 1. Radio Ga Ga - Queen - Sw/D/N/Fi 2. Relax - Franke Goes To Hollywood - Sw/D/N/Fi 3. My Oh My - Slade - Sw/D/N/Fi 4. Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper - Sw/D/N 5. Street Dance - Breakmachine Sw/D/N 6. To Be Or Not So Be - Mel Brooks - Sw/D/N 7. Beast Of Burden - Bette Midler - Sw/D/N 8. Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell - Sw/D 9. Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder - Sw/D 10. Against All Odds - Phil Collins - Sw/D 11. 99 Luftballons - Nena - Sw/N 12. Only You - Flying Pickets - Sw/Fi 13. Run Runaway - Slade - Sw/N 14. Crimes Of Passion - Mike Oldfield - D/Fi 15. Tommy Loves Me - Carole - Sw 16. Jump - Van Halen - Sw 17. (Feels Like) Heaven - Fiction Factory - Sw 18. Sa In Norden - Carola - Sw 19. Dance Hall Days - Wang Chung - Sw 20. Buster - Nanna - D Immediately striking when taking a look at The Scandinavian Charts is the fact that there is amazingly enough no local Scandinavian record that. apart from it's country of origin, also charts in another Scandinavian country. All local hits remain local and do not tend to cross over to the other markets in Scandinavia, The only exception to this rule was last year's European succes Laidback (remember Sunshine Reggae?), this one charted not only in it's original country Denmark but also elsewhere in Scandinavia. But the song had English lyrics and was therefore easier to chart elsewhere. Most of the singles in the Scandinavian Charts are successes elsewhere in Europe apart from e.g. Slade who are very popular with two singles charted of which Run Runaway is not appearing in the European Top 100 Singles. Mike Oldfield's single Crime Of Passion is srredii doing well and not appearing anymore in the Euro charts (used to be big in Germany and Italy). Scandinavia is (together with the French and The Spanish) a bit late in discovering the appeal of Nena, 99 Luftballons is in the lower regions of the Euro charts. The Flying Pickets' Only You is still very popular but for the rest of Europe downgrading the charts. Though there is some consensus in the general single sales pattern for the international releases, Finland clearly stands out as different from the rest of Scandinavia. Not appearing in the above charts and already disappeared from the Euro charts for a few weeks is the McCartney/ Jackson single Say Say Say which is still nr. 1 in Finland and Gazebo's I Like Chopin is doing well in the Finnish charts while the rest of Europe has nearly forgotten this one. We must bear in mind, however, that the single market in Scandinavia is different from the rest of Europe. The overall single sales are relatively speaking very low compared to other European markets. In one of the coming issues we will take a closer look at the Scandinavian album market for which the sales pattern doesn't differ that much as the singles do. With regards to the T.V. situation it is rather quiet Up North. The monday show "Mandagsborsen" with it's tradional weekly live broadcast from the beautiful Grand Hotel in Stockholm has had it's last program mid aphl and will not return until! end ofaugust. The popular show "Nojesmaskinen" with it's growing array of international artists is due to come back after the summer. in Denmark the weekly progarm "Eldorado" presented and co -produced by the popular Jurgen Mylius is faking a break till september. Norwegian program "Zikk Zakk" produced by Odd Arvid Stroemstad wit be off the air soon. And what about Finland? The monthly pop program "Casino" (producer Heikki Karma) has planned to return after the summer, but when is unknown as of yet. This means that our weekly T.V. section will not feature Scandinavia until) the end of the summer period. 5
