CHART COMMENTARY

MTV's VMA Show... My favorite performances of the awards show were Britney Spears, her whole dance thing reminded me of Janet's Rhythm Nation, Lauryn Hill and TLC. Speaking of the group, "Unpretty" holds at no. 1 for a second week but will face strong competition from Ricky Martin's "She's All I Ever Had" next week. Ricky also gave a good performance but no as good as "La Copa De La Vida" on the Grammys.

GREATEST GAINERS... This week's greatest gainer is "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears. I just downloaded the Stop Remix and it definately makes the song better in my opinion. Then comes Lou Bega with "Mambo No. 5" and right behind is LFO with "Summer Girls".

COMING UP... Sheryl Crow- "The Difficult Kind", Destiny's Child- "Bug-A-Boo", Jay-Z- "Girl's Best Friend", Brandy- "U Don't Know Me (Like U Used To)", Robbie Williams- "Angels", Jennifer Lopez- "Waiting For Tonight" & Lenny Kravitz- "American Woman".

For the week ending on September 18th, 1999.
