| The
Whitney Weekday Request Campaign
has been divided by the letters of the alphabet. For example, if
your last name begins with the letter "A," you can proceed
to the row for "A" and call or e-mail any 3-5 radio stations
in that section. The letters will change everyday. The goal is to
help ensure that each state gets votes everyday, without all of
us voting in huge blocks. Here is Another Option For Anyone With E-mail that Includes a Line For BCC. This method enables you to send a single message to DJs across the country without revealing that other DJs are receiving your message at the same time. DO NOT do this if your e-mail software does not provide a line called BCC!!! Note: While the BCC method will be quite effective, it excludes many radio stations that do not provide direct e-mail addresses. Therefore, if you have five minutes, continue to check out the complete request list, because there are many links there that will take you to radio station web sites where you'll be able to send your e-mail message easily. Thanks! |

3 on the Clipparade Top 30, the chart compiled by the viewers of
TMF Belgium. (Thanks Eddy VB) The "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" video was at fifth place on MTV Brasil's daily chart yesterday. It will be featured on the weekly chart today.

Of The Pops" on the BBC today to introduce the music video

| BET
and "Fine" Screen Captures: Whitney and Bobby
made a surprise appearance on BET's "106th & Park"
show today in support of the premiere of her new video for "Fine."
They also plugged Sunday's new song and video (which will air on
BET this Thursday) and had the group sing briefly for the audience.
For those who missed it, the show will reair at 11:30 a.m. EST on
BET tomorrow. You can request the video here, and request the song on the radio here! Thanks!

The song has far less of a profile than its two competitors, and we only just found out about the poll, so it's to be expected. Hopefully it will be a contender again later on when it will have a better chance. Thanks to everyone who voted! |

| "Fine"
Poll: Whitney's upcoming U.S. single, "Fine,"
is already being featured on NBC's "Friday Night Videos"
program even though the song has barely debuted on any video channels
yet. Please
vote for this song at their online poll by clicking on
their "Music" link! U.S. fans can also vote for Whitney
by phone by calling 1-800-JUKEPIC. Many teeny bopper fans watch
this show and it would be good early TV exposure. Vote like mad!
The song is up against Matchbox 20 and Green Day. If it wins the
viewer vote, the show will play the entire video on October 13th.
(Thanks Markiss) It's time for the Whitney Weekday Request Campaign to kick into full swing. We've already been requesting "Fine" to a certain extent at radio stations, but we should be requesting the song at both Pop and R&B radio stations. You can tell the stations that you saw the music video on TV and would like to hear it at their station, or any other valid excuse. Non-U.S. fans can also make online requests if they can avoid giving their overseas e-mail addresses, or if they have addresses that don't obviously appear to be based outside the U.S. It is very early in this song's request life, so let's try not to appear like an organized fan campaign! The request list has been divided by letters of the alphabet so you can choose various stations by the letter that matches your last name. The letters will change everyday so you can alternate which stations you contact so they won't be quite as bombarded. Thank you! If you know of additional radio stations that should be on the request list, please e-mail the Nippy News! Thanks! Music Charts Update: "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" has debuted on the U.K. Singles chart, becoming Whitney's 16th Top 10 hit there. Plus the song has reached the chart pinnacle in Switzerland! Read the details... "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" was at No. 5 this morning when Top of the Pops announced the Top 10 selling U.K. singles of the week. (Thanks Paul S.) |

(Thanks Claudio) Earlier this week a new double CD was released in Europe called "Knuffelrock vol. 12." Whitney's "My Love Is Your Love" is included on the new compilation with great ballads.

Today published a gossip item today stating that attorney Johnnie
Cochran was asked by Whitney's "inner circle" to deal with the charge
against her in Hawaii. However, according to Cochran's spokeswoman,
he isn't certified to practice in Hawaii, though he could have been
a consultant, and he's moving away from criminal law. This morning,
Cochran told the Doug Banks show on 107.5 FM WBLS in New York City
that the rumors are not true and asked to please put them to rest.

| According
to BMG Spain, Whitney may be in Europe as soon as later this year
for a movie. They were not aware of which movie project it might
be. If it indeed happens, they are hoping she might have time to
fit in some promotional appearances for the Greatest Hits while
she is there. But before we get our hopes up, keep in mind that
their information changes frequently. Anything they say should be
taken as a possibility with nothing set in stone. (Thank you
Laura) Music Charts Update: News from The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland From the Atlanta Voice: Music entrepreneur/singer Perri "Pebbles" Reid and former Atlanta Braves outfielder Otis Nixon announced last week that they would be tying the knot in the Bahamas this weekend.
