For Fans Who Are Fluent in French: Every evening, we can call, fax or e-mail Radio Contact (top radio station in Belgium) to request a song. They don't play Whitney much, so we should e-mail them (in French) at studiofr@radiocontact.be and ask for a Nippy song with a little message! Thanks!

The Bodyguard soundtrack has been certified for sales of 17 million in the U.S. alone, bringing Whitney's total platinum album sales to 49 million in just the U.S., excluding sales of the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack. As a result, Whitney has sold more albums than Madonna in the U.S., her closest competitor in this area. Barbra Streisand still holds the record for the most albums sold by a female artist in the U.S. The Bodyguard soundtrack remains the most successful album of the 1990s and the biggest selling soundtrack of all time. (Thanks James T., Paula, Shauren)

VH1 UK is having a contest for tracks of the millenium. There are 3 fields listed and all one has to do is to write the name of each track, the artist's name and one's e-mail address. It's called the Millennium Honours. Songs that come to mind are IWALY and MLIYL, among others.
Also, if you click on the "Contact Us" icon to the left of the page, one can e-mail a request for the ILFTB video. Just fill out a name, age, e-mail address and write the request in the comments section. You can leave the address field blank if you live in the U.S. (Thanks Lopez)

New concert audio! Yesterday marked the end of Whitney's very successful MLIYL concert tour. To celebrate, you can listen back to the last show of Whitney's 1998 concert tour. The 1998 show, which was a UNICEF benefit concert in Aschaffenburg, Germany, turned out to be a revelatory concert in which the arena lost its electrical power and Whitney stayed on stage with a dead microphone to keep the audience together. Highlights include an impromptu performance of "You Are So Beautiful," which she sang to the audience after the power returned, and a charged rendition of "I Love The Lord." The audio files are only available to mailing list members. Feel free to join the list!

According to a press release issued by Enrique Iglesias' record company, his album indeed will be released on November 23. The release says three Spanish tracks will be included on the CD, but apparently a Spanish version of the duet with Whitney, "Could I Have This Kiss Forever," is not one of them. There is no information on whether there will be a Spanish version of the duet.

The ILFTB music video is being shown on MTV Europe. Be on the look-out! (Thanks Marie-Eve B.)

Some Whitney items are available at Yahoo! Auctions, including the MLIYL album on 2 vinyl LPs and an out-of-print 12" vinyl promo of "So Emotional" that includes a poster.

New concert reviews added for Belgium! Thanks!

We need to start requesting "I Learned From The Best" immediately on MTV Total Request Live. MTV has dropped the MLIYL music video from its request list, so now is the perfect time to start writing in ILFTB at their webpage. [Arista hasn't really serviced ILFTB to radio yet, where MLIYL is still performing strongly, so the Whitney Weekday request campaign will remain focused on MLIYL until further information is available.]

The ILFTB music video concept: Whitney plays herself performing the song on TV, where a former lover realizes that she is actually singing the song about him. Whitney looks beautiful in the video (not a surprise), wearing a sleeveless brown leather dress and boots, and sporting an afro wig that is actually played down by the lighting a bit.

During the show, Whitney talked about the importance of having someone in her life who cares about how she feels. She also beautifully performed "I Learned From The Best" live for the extras who sat for hours during the video shoot, even though she was obviously exhausted. (Many thanks to Carlos I.W. for the pictures)

The syndicated entertainment show Access Hollywood aired a preview of the MTV special. They didn't expand upon anything that MTV did, except to say that Whitney's look in the video was inspired by recent Paris fashion shows.

The Divas Live/99 set was officially released today! Check out the pictures from the CD! Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3
