I have two questions:

1 I saw two sentences: 1 Did you lose your memory? 2 Until you recover your memories, I'll take care of you! What's the difference between ''memory'' and ''memories''? They look exactly the same.

2 She seems to be becoming quite popular, her CD's sale had just moved to the top spot. Why is it ''had just moved''? I think it should be ''has just moved''.

Thanks for the help

1 I have happy memories of my childhood = I have happy "images and feelings" of my childhood. Memory is the ability to memorize, to remember. 2 In your example I agree it should be "has just moved".
