CHART COMMENTARY

CHRISTINA MAKING THINGS UNPRETTY FOR TLC... With "Genie In A Bottle" holding strongly at no. 1 for a second week in a row, things don't look so good for TLC, who's "Unpretty" is trying to go all the way like "No Scrubs" did a while ago. There's a new remix that might help "Unpretty" reach the top spot, but we'll have to wait and see if that's enought to dethrone teen queen Christina.

GREATEST GAINERS... This week's greatest gainer is "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child. Eventhough this song is still going strong, I'm kinda excited about the second single called "Bug-A-Boo". This song will most likely be a huge hit as well, maybe even bigger. We'll see... Other big gainers are Len, Ricky Martin and Sugar Ray which all seem to be stuck in the lower half of the top 20.

COMING UP... Britney Spear's "(You Drive Me) Crazy", Jordan Knight's "I'll Never Take The Place Of Your Man", Blaque's "I Do", Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker" & Sheryl Crow's "Sweet Child O' Mine".

For the week ending on August 14th, 1999.
