CHART COMMENTARY

THE GIRL WHO SHAGGED THE CHARTS... Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" is this week's greatest gainer jumping up to no. 15 in only its second week on the chart. Expect big things from this awesome single. Other big gainers are Geri Halliwell and Cher.

NEW ENTRIES. TLC debuts at no. 27 with their new single "Unpretty", joined by Enrique Iglesias, Sugar Ray and New Radicals in the lower 30's. "Unpretty" is the second official single from their "Fanmail" album and should be as big a hit as "No Scrubs", which is still in the top 10.

For the week ending on June 12th, 1999.
