That's right, KB's new album "Hounds of Love" has *entered* the British
charts at NUMBER ONE, knocking Madonna (insert many side remarks here)
out of that position, which she only held for one week with "Like
Perversion".

This is the second time that Kate Bush has had an album enter at number
one.  Five years ago, "Never for Ever" also entered the British charts
at number one.  At that time she was the only woman ever to have a
number one album in England.

In any case, I guess it just goes to show, that every now and then
quality does prevail.  Too bad it happens so rarely.
