This past week's issue of _Billboard_ (Nov. 9) lists:

"Rocket Man" debuts at No. 24 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

_Two Rooms_ debuts at No. 28 on the Top Albums chart.  (It's No. 5 and
No. 2 at two local Tower Records stores.)

There's a review of "Rocket Man":

KATE BUSH  Rocket Man (4:58)
PRODUCER: Kate Bush
WRITERS: E. John, B. Taupin
PUBLISHER: not listed
Polydor 589 (c/o PGD) (CD promo)

Bush's high-pitched, chirping performance is a bit off-putting at first,
but her gentle, heartfelt treatment of this Elton John classic does
update it for alternative radio formats.  Reggae-vibed beats and folky,
stringed instrumentation definitely add a new twist to an old favorite.

That's all it says.
