[rec.music.gaffa] The Dec. 16 _Billboard_.

The new _Billboard_ (Dec. 16) has a review of the single "Love And 
Anger".  They list it as "Recommended" rather than a "Pick", which
is unfortunate, but anyway, here it is:

KATE BUSH   Love & Anger  (4:39)
PRODUCER:  Kate Bush
WRITER:  Kate Bush
PUBLISHER:  Kate Bush Ltd.
Columbia 38T-73092  (cassette single)

     Bush recalls her "The Big Sky" on this lively, introspective number from
the hit album "The Sensual World."  Already a No. 1 smash with modern
rock programmers.

That's it.  Short and sweet, but all single reviews in _Billboard_ are
short.

The chart news this week is a little better than last week.  She only
went down in one of the three American charts she's on:

Modern Rock Tracks       L&A                 1 (1 last week)
Pop Albums              _TSW_                46 (46)
She fell off the CD chart entirely.  :-(

The video for L&A remains on the Buzz Bin at MTV, medium rotation at VH-1.

International:

UK Singles               TWW                  25 (30)
UK Albums               _TSW_                 32 (31)
W. Germany Albums       _TSW_                 18 (15)
