It is not unusual that "Hands Clean" is dropping on other charts but still growing at Adult Top 40. The rest of the top five on that chart are in their 31st, 25th, 24th and 26th week. The top track, "Wherever You Will Go," has stayed there for 17 weeks. Meshell Ndegeocello's "Earth (Ben Watt Remix)" is #35* on Hot Dance/ Club Play in its third week. After several delays, her new album "Cookie (The Anthropological Mixtape)" is now scheduled for release on June 4, continuing her tradition of one album every three years. Hot 100 ------- With "Ain't It Funny," "What's Luv?" and "Foolish" on the gold, silver and bronze podiums, songwriter Irving Lorenzo and producer Irv Gotti becomes the first person in two dozen years to co-write and co-produce the entire top three. No, that sentence was not wrong. Behind those two monikers is the same person, who discovered Ja Rule and founded Murder Inc. ("Murder" as in "Murder Remix" for the recent two j.Lo singles). The last medal sweep occurred in 1978 when Barry Gibb took writing and producing credits on "Night Fever," "Stayin' Alive" and Samantha Sang's "Emotion." He also provided vocals on all three, something that Lorenzo/ Gotti cannot claim. If we broaden the scope to include teams of frequent collaborators, the team of L.A. Reid, Babyface, and Daryl Simmons once conquered the top three in 1992 with Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," TLC's "Baby-Baby-Baby" and Bobby Brown's "Humpin' Around." On Hot 100 Airplay, the last one-two-three monopoly that I am aware of occurred in March 2000, when Swedish import Max Martin and Kristian Lundin saturated the airwave with 'NSync's "Bye Bye Bye," Backstreet Boys' "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" and Celine Dion's "That's The Way It Is." Mary J. Blige's "Rainy Dayz," featuring none other than Ja Rule, jumps to #38*. This means two things. First, Ja Rule is on the verge to pull off three different combinations of triple-entries in the top 20 in just five months. Back in December, he was in the top 20 with "Livin' It Up," "Always On Time" and "I'm Real" (featured). In January, "Ain't It Funny" (featured) joined his two singles in the top 20, when "I'm Real" was still in the top 40. And now, "Ain't It Funny," "Always On Time" and "Rainy Dayz" are in the top 40 together. All he needs is for "Dayz" to move into the top 20 before "Always On Time" drops out... The second point is more trivial. With "Family Affair" at #37, this is the third time in just two months that Mary J. Blige holds up two adjacent spots. "Family Affair" and "No More Drama" rubbed shoulders in two instances. Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" is anywhere but there on the rock charts. It enters the bottom of Mainstream Rock Tracks (#40*), and climbs to the top of Modern Rock Tracks (#1*). The song has spent 23 weeks on Modern Rock, a new record on that chart for the slowest climb to the top. "In The End" set the previous record of 18 weeks. "The Middle" almost lives up to its title on other charts: #22* on Adult Top 40, #42* on the Hot 100 Airplay (75 positions), and #43* on the Hot 100. The group's half- year-old eponymous album is currently #74* on the Billboard 200, having peaked at #54 and reached gold status. Billboard 200 ------------- It's the Easter week, and overall album sales increase by 13.3% to reach 14 million. For the first time this year, the number is higher than the same week in 2001; but that's only because Easter came later last year. Compared to 2001's Easter week, this week falls short by 0.8%. In her new video, Celine Dion stands high in the clouds. And she means it. Her "comeback" album "A New Day Has Come" sails straight to #1 with sales of 527,000. This is only the fourth album by a female solo artist to open above the half million mark (in the SoundScan era). It is also Celine's first album to bow at #1, though three of her albums climbed to #1 after starting at #2 or #3. 1996's "Falling Into You" and 1999's "All The Way..." each collected three weeks at #1. 1997's "Let's Talk About Love" mustered just one week, but only because it was competing against the "Titanic" soundtrack. Celine's towering debut has more to do with a blitz of TV appearances than a hit new single. The title track is #33* on the Hot 100, still a long way to go before matching her past hits. For a second consecutive week, the top ten welcomes four new releases. Aside from Celine Dion, "WWF: Forceable Entry" continues the success of the WWF music series with a 145,700-copy entrance at #3. Avant, whose 2000 album peaked at #45, goes straight to #6 this time around with 122,000 sold. "The Scorpion King" soundtrack marches in at #8. King of soundtracks? Nope. The 5-platinum "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is #5 with another 128,700 copies out of stores. Spending its 31st week at #1 on Top Soundtracks, "O Brother" has deprived 12 different soundtracks of the opportunity to claim top billing. As for last week's four top five debuts... "Now 9" and Jay-Z/R. Kelly slide down to #2 and #4. Glenn Lewis and Jimmy Buffett are once again back-to-back - at #30 and #31. Easter traditionally brings kids and teens into record stores. On this chart, Greatest Gainer goes to "Now 9," with a sales increase of 44,000 in its second week. Pacesetter goes to the album "Kidz Bop Kids," which bops #165->#104* on a 92% growth. Pink, Michelle Branch, Britney Spears, "Now 8" and "Now 7" all enjoy sales increase between 38% and 52%, while Aaron Carter registers a 76% gain and leaps #199->#146*. The Oscars wields its magic onto five soundtracks that contain the Best Song nominees performed at the ceremony. Randy Newman's win boosted "Monsters, Inc." to a 230% increase, while the other four range between 46% and 78%. ("Lord Of The Rings" is the only one still on the chart.) CORRECTION TO MY CORRECTION --------------------------- The Green boys are messing with my head. the 04/06 update corrected the 03/30 update by saying that Green Day's "International Superhits!" fell off the chart in the 04/06 issue. Nope. It was #175 in the 03/30 issue, #172 in the 04/06 issue, and #181 this week. And this time, I am sure. -------------------------------------------- A "*" (bullet) beside a chart position marks that a single or album registered a notable gain in sales or airplay or chart points.
