CHART COMMENTARY

TRIPLE ACTION BRITNEY... Christina might be ruling the Top 40 this week, but Britney Spears is making a triple appearance. This is a first on my chart. Somehow, fromer chart topper "...Baby One More Time", is still haning around after 39 weeks on the chart, while "Sometimes" holds in the top 3 and "(You Drive Me) Crazy", her most recent single, debuts at no. 32. We can expect big things from this new single as it is one of my favorites on the album. The remix will also help.

GREATEST GAINERS... This week's greatest gainer is "Someday" by Sugar Ray. Suddenly I realized how much I like this song and finally got un-stuck from the crowded lower half of the top 20 and made the top 10. Other big gainers are LFO with "Summer Girls" and Len with "If You Steal My Sunshine".

COMING UP... 'N Sync & Gloria Estefan- "Music Of My Heart", Mariah Carey f/ Jay-Z- "Heartbreaker", Blaque- "I Do", Jennifer Lopez- "Waiting For Tonight" & Backstreet Boys- "Larger Than Life".

For the week ending on August 21st, 1999.
