Chart Commentary
STILL GOING STRONG... "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin holds the top spot for a second week as his first album in english debuts at no. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart for sales of over 660,000 copies. One of the best tracks on the album is "She's All I Ever Had", which will be the second single released from the album. I'm sure it'll be a success as well. Ricky will most likely hold the top spot next week due to a pretty big lead over the rest of the top 5.
GREATEST GAINERS. Britney Spears scores her second top 10 hit this week as "Sometimes" jumps seven spots to land at no. 8, but unfortunately, the greatest gainer award is not for her this week. The Backstreet Boys have by far the biggest point increase this week as "I Want It That Way" almost reaches the top 10 by landing at no. 12 in only its second week on the chart. This is the first single from their new album "Millenium" and could be the first no. 1 single from the group. They've had five other singles on the chart, all peaking in the top 10. Here's a recap:
NEW ENTRIES This week's highest debut is by British singer Robbie Willaims. "Millennium" enters this week at no. 28 followed closely by "If You Had My Love", the debut single by actress/singer Jennifer Lopez. Her new album is titled "On The 6" and will be released on June 1st. Other new entries are "Wild Wild West" by Will Smith and from the movie of the same name and "808" by Blaque.
For the week ending on May 22nd, 1999.
