VIDEO CHART ACTION

It’s no surprise that “Top Gun� continues to lead the Billboard magazine videocassette sales chart, since Paramount did sell 2.5 million copies to distributors and retailers. But its long-term dominance of the rental chart wasn’t expected. Even such rental favorites as “The Fly,� “Aliens� and “Stand By Me� haven’t been able to topple “Top Gun.� “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off� may do it, though--it’s roaring up the rental chart, moving to No. 6 in its second week. “Legal Eagles,� which also has the potential to be the No. 1 rental, is doing very well but, surprisingly, hasn’t cracked the Top Five on the rental chart. It moved up just one notch, to No. 6. “Soul Man,� aided by an expensive media campaign, is the No. 9 rental and seems headed for the Top Five. Other sales charts: “Sleeping Beauty� is still the No. 1 kidvid cassette; “Bon Jovi� is the leading music cassette; “Golf My Way With Jack Nicklaus� heads the recreational sports chart.
