We're in a new era of jumpy charts, which now reflect each ripple on the changing waves of popular taste. This week's surprise is Genesis, those venerable art-rockers, who-even though key members like Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel have long since gone their separate ways-stage a reunited debut this week all the way up at No. 4. Up-to-date hit maker Richard Marx, by contrast, bowed last week at only No. 40, and this week still didn't make the top 10. Michael Bolton, meanwhile, bounds back from No. 13 to No. 8, no doubt propelled by his version of ''When a Man Loves a Woman,'' the No. 1 single last week. LAST WEEKS ON WEEK POP ALBUMS CHART
