Sweeden: From #6 to #2
Germany: From #5 to #4
Switzerland: From #9 to #7

Whitney's "It's Not Right" enjoys a sales boost that takes the single to #4 on the main singles chart. "It's Not Right" is Whitney's 18th top 5 hit and has matched the peak of "I'm Every Woman," "I Have Nothing," and "I Believe In You And Me." Until now, Whitney has not generated two top 5 hits from a single album since "The Bodyguard" in 1993. "It's Not Right" is #4 in sales, selling 76,000 copies and registering the largest increase again this week, but fails to garner a significant gain at radio this week for the first time, stalling at #15. (submitted by: L.N.)

According to ARIA (Australian Record Industry Assoc.) "Heartbreak Hotel" has entered the Australian singles chart with "Heartbreak Hotel" at number 38. This is refreshing as "INRBIOK" did not even make the top 50. Good luck to Whitney Houston! (submitted by: Tin N.)

Great news from Germany: According to MusiKWoche (German music paper)Whitney's new single "My love is your love" climbs in its third week from No. 39 over No. 14 to No. 5. That means that "My love is your love" is Whitney's biggest hit in Germany since "I will always love you" in 1992/1993. Moreover the album "My love is your love" climbs from No. 11 to No. 8 and thus reaches a new peak position. I always knew that the releease of "My love is your love" as a single would bring the album back to the top of the charts. That's the case in Europe. Hopefully soon in the United States, too.

I have just returned from my classtrip and if you don't know yet, MLIYL (the single) moved from 14 to 5!!! That's her biggest hit in Germany since IWALY (SBS and WYB both reached number 8)! MLIYL (the album) jumped from 11 to 8! (submitted by: Claudia B.)

Chart Confusion?
L.N. previously said that the last solo Top Twenty single from Whitney was "Exhale" which is actually wrong. "I Believe in You and Me" was in the Top Ten (it debuted at #7), and "Step By Step" hit Number 18, I believe. Since "Step By Step" is one of my favorites, I didn't want its accomplishments to go unnoticed. (These numbers are from the Billboard Hot 100, if anyone wonders.) (submitted by: Kelly F.)

The answer: This report you read was refferring to Top Ten Radio Airplay charts, not Hot 100 Charts. So L.N.'s Chart Report was indeed accurate. (submitted by: RTWM)

I was just reading the correction you posted about Whitney's single step by step. I just wanted to note that the single did not peak at 18, but at number 15. It debuted at 22 and in the next week moved to 15 where is stayed for two weeks before peaking there. (submitted by: Marc B.)

On this weekend's broadcast of the World Chart Show (June 12/13, 1999), "It's Not Right But It's Okay" slides only 3 notches to No. 25. (submitted by: Rob N.)

Anyway, this is just to keep you updated on a few Billboard charts for the week ending June 5, 1999:

In its 27th week on the Billboard 200, "My Love Is Your Love" slips 5 notches to No. 42.
In its 24th week on the Billboard Hot 100, "Heartbreak Hotel" moves down 4 spots to No. 15. As well, "It's Not Right But It's Okay" leaps 18 big positions to land at No. 32 in its 5th week on the chart.
The criteria for the Billboard Hot 100 has changed slightly. Points are now based on a 70%/30% ratio of airplay to sales data. Due to a rise in single sales, Billboard revised the former 75/25 formula introduced in the December 5, 1998 issue.

Whitney's "It's Not Right But It's Okay" stalls at #50* for a second week on the singles chart. It debuts at #36* in the composite top 40 pop radio genre this week and ranks #28* on the black singles chart. My understanding is that there is no way "It's Not Right" can be given a sales boost, since it has already been released on the "Heartbreak Hotel" single and that singles sales points are now and will always be applied to "Heartbreak Hotel"'s singles chart position. "Heartbreak Hotel" is #11 on the singles chart this week. "It's Not Right" may be the last single worked from the "My Love Is Your Love" album, which ranks #42 in its 26th week on the albums chart. Arista Records has announced that Whitney will release her greatest hits set this coming fall. With the two albums coming in such close succession, it's possible that a song from "My Love" will be put on the hits set and worked as a single to promote both projects. (submitted by: L.N.)

Whitney is again with INRBIO in the first ten places in the SPANISH CHART!. After reaching #1, INRBIO was slipping down the chart little by little, but now has climbed again to #9. This single is selling really well in SPAIN!!!. (submitted by: Laura X.?)
