Maybe it's because it's prime vacation time that there's very little activity on the charts-at least in the upper reaches. Biggest loss of momentum comes from Poison which, having shot to No. 2 in four weeks, slips back a place. Biggest forward motion comes just below the top 10, where two albums are moving like proverbial bullets: Winger's sophomore release, In the Heart of the Young, and Banned in the U.S.A., by the ever-controversial Luke Featuring the 2 Live Crew.
