Whitney has been added to the Billboard Platinum list, as of 12/18/98. She sold faster then Mariah, Celine and Alanis. But I wonder if that's because they choose a certain date to release the platinum awards. And Whitney is a Top Ten seller at the Virgin Store Chicago and at Blockbuster Music. (submitted by: Marc)

New York's most popular radio statio, HOT 97 FM, reported today that Whitney's new album has been certified platinum. The announcement came during an interview with Whitney. (submitted by: BlackAtlantic)

New MLIYL Articles: reviews from 2 canadian newspapers.

Today on "X-Tendamix", (a show on MuchMusic), they played "Get It Back" while they were listing the "holiday Club Jams" around Canada. It wasn't the original version of GIB, it was sped up slightly. Any viewers who didn't have MLIYL would not have thought it was WH cuz it sounded like a chipmunk. (submitted by: RTWM)

WOW! The cover for the single for "Heartbreak Hotel"!!! (submitted by: Nuno)

It is rumored that WH cancelled her Leno appearance because she was busy filming the video for HH. WH will be filming the video this weekend. (submitted by: Richard)

The scoop is Kevin Bray is the director for the HH video and the divas will shoot it on Sunday. Kelly Price said it herself today on Doug Banks show and i spoke with her live on the air. (submitted by: Ishengoma R.)

They are playing INRBIOK like CRAZY in the dance clubs!!!! I was in a club in Philly Wednesday night and asked the DJ to play it if he had it and he told me that I was about the 100th person to ask him already when he had already played it twice in the night!!!! When he finally played it again at about the end of the evening, people were going ballistic-the hip-hoppers were jamming, the techno guys/gals were kicking it and everyone was yelling "Go Whitney" and they were singing their hearts out to the song, IT'S A HIT!!! I think this will do the sales some serious justice. I, for one, think that Whitney has really kicked *** on this new album. (submitted by: Desmond)

See Whitney Houston star in "THE BODYGUARD" on CBS Television. December 29th at 8PM EST.

According to Arista, "MLIYL" has been certified GOLD AND PLATINUM! Somehow, on Billboard, it doesn't say anything about the platinum status...

Chart news has been updated.

I am dying to know what everybody thinks of the remix for INRBIO!

WOW! Are there really 220 reviews of MLIYL? I've read each and every one of them. Have you?

Is there a different cover for the MLIYL CD in other countries? I think this is the asia version, but I'm not sure.

Kelly Price was on Doug Banks show on WBLS 107.5 and she will also be there tomorrow too from 6:00 am to 10:00 am and guess what? She, Nippy & Faith are shooting the video for HH this Sunday. Yep, she said it in her own words and i did not get who the director was but she will be there tomorrow, Fri, too. I had tried to call the radio station to speak with her but the phones were just so busy anybody interested can try @ 1-800-757-9240 and speak to Kelly Price. Nippy is said to be among the list of the well mannered/behaved people for 1998. But even if the video comes out it won't help for the falling CD. I heard its dropped to # 23.(below top 15) (submitted by: Emmanuel R.)

Awesome Remix: Here is the audio file for the remix of INRBIO. It's in an MP3 format. If you can somehow save it as RealAudio, I'd apreciate to have it mailed to me. Many thanks to Mr. B!

WH's album tumbles to #23 on Billboard.

Those of us who attended the WH Convention in Germany last July remember Philipp. He now has a record deal with Sony and he has a hit song in Germany entitled "Ich will Spaß". This means "I like fun" in german. He just launched his own official website at spass-mit-philipp.de. Check out his website's links section -- there's a link to a certain Whitney Worship Webpage... Philipp also appears on TV shows, in between his tour with Aaron Carter! Congratulatons, Philipp!

New Articles from Jet Magazine and Ebony Magazine.

I was watching VH1 on Sunday morning and on their "Hollywood and Vinyl" show, which is about a movie and it's music,the special was the "Prince of Egypt," which had WH and MC and others talking about the music. It was similar to last night's shindig on NBC. Hollywood and Vinyl airs at other times during the week, looks like on Thursday (17) evening and early Friday morning (18), and also Friday evening, so they may show this again.

Also see on early Friday (18) morning on VH1-something titled "When you Believe" is to air.

And on HBO on Friday evening (18) there is something titled "Prince of Egypt-First Look." May be worth looking into. (submitted by: Honney)

I went to get tickets to the Tonight Show early this morning and there was a note on the door. It said "we regret to inform you that Whitney will not be performing this evening and singing group Chicago will be in her place." I am so diappointed. I have been unable to travel to the east coast to meet her and I was really looking forward to this event. I think she is the greatest singer. Hopefully she will reschedule I am going to call Jay Leno and find out if she is rescheduling. (submitted by: Sharon G.)

Just thought I would let all the Whitney fans, that haven't been able to find the vinyl promo, that I just got the remixes for It's Not Alright, But It's Ok on cd from Y & T Dance Music on Miami Beach. It included the full 9+ minute Thunderpuss 2000 remix, a fierce dub and a radio edit. It's an amazing song that all the New York and Miami DJs are playing constantly. My friend told me that there is also going to be a secondary promo with additional mixes by Johnny Vicious. Junior Vasquez has been playing this remix since mid-November and it's as amazing as the Thunderpuss 2000 remixes! I know that Y & T had like 30 copies of the Whitney remix CD. (submitted by: Jiffy J.)

According to MTV ASIA, "When You Believe" still fighting for the number 1 spot in Asia. After debuting at number 10. It jumped 5 notches last week. This week I think that it will going to be number 1. Also When You Believe has a very heavy airplay in MTV asia and Channel V asia. So cross you fingers for the top spot for Whitney.

    Billboard Mag acknowledges the 12 inch LP remix for "It's Not Right But Its Okay".

    From French TV (m6): They promote the "When You Believe" single in France... .but as a New Single of... Mariah Carey only!!! During the ad, you only see the name of Mariah Carey. They show the video...always MC and maybe 2 seconds for Whitney. Only at the end of the ad they said "in duet with WHITNEY HOUSTON". It's a shame, Arista is definetaly the worst of all. (submitted by: Bruno A.)

    Arista is the worst record company in the world: while Mariah´s album it is been promoted all over Spain, Arista doesn´t do anything about Whitney´s album. "When you believe" is presented as a Mariah song and as if you can only find it in her album!!! H ow could she reach the top of the charts with such an awful campaign of Arista? (submitted by: Ana)

    WH is on the cover of the dec. 14 issue of Jet magazine with Mariah. (her name goes first). The article is about WYB and how they got along together and their new albums. The cover photo is from the MTV awards when her bra was showing. Then they show pictures of them singing together and the album cover. Then in the newsmakers, they talk about WH and Michael J. and how they are blacks with best selling albums of all time...then they have an ad for "Down in the Delta", the movie whitney was suppose to sing in but they don't list her name. (submitted by: Christina S.)

    DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE!
    In Australlia, Icame across NW magazine (whatever that is) December 98 issue and they featured an article about Whitney PREGNANT!

(submitted by: Banarji) This picture is from the Versace fashion show from last spring, as reported in the April 1998 Nippy News. This whole article is bogus!

    Look for the audio file from the Billboard music awards later tonite. WH sang "Heartbreak Hotel" with Faith and Kelly Price. E.T. had said earlier that WH woud sing ILFTB. Although they did a good adlib at the end of the song, they just didn't stop singi ng when the music stopped... I'd rather have a strong ending.

    Remember last week when Alan M. submitted an email mesage he got from Arista which said that Arista's promotion for WH's new CD will increase significantly in the New Year? [read the e-mail message]... It was all a sham! Arista reportedly sent the same e-mail message to an "Ace Of Base" fan when he complained about the lack of promotion for their recent album...

    Mad TV: I just happened to catch "Mad TV" and they had a lengthy skit featuring 2 actors portraying WH And BBBB. The would-be WH had a Whitney wig and a Whitney dress. The would-be BBBB actor had a typical BBBB suit on. The "host" of the skit told "Whitney" to "quit whining and go back to being a b*tch". They made fun of BBBB's heavy drinking, and heavy cheating on WH, etc. The skit ends with the "host" and "Whitney" beating on "Bobby". (submitted by: Richard D.)
