submitted by: Bernard P. date: December 15/98 source: USA Today The USA Today had a article title "The Fall Music Scoreboard. The Hot Cds where by Garth Brooks, Celine Dion, Jewel Metallica, Mariah Carey, 'N Sync, The Offspring, Jay-Z, Alanis Morissette, Method Man, and U2. The lukewarm Cds where lead the Whitney and ended with Marilyn Mason.The cold included Seal, the Rolling Stones, and Hootie and the Blowfish. The talks about how Jewel's cd is outpacing Mariah and Whitney's.
The article then says Houston's poor entry can be explained in one word, Radio. She is not getting airplay. And she was gone too long. You just can't be gone these days. Geoff Mayfield the director of charts at Billboard is quoted as saying "Never underestimate Whitney or her label (Arista). The belief in the trade is that rushing her new album into release gave them no opportunity to set it up properly. They could have waited til the second single. She appeals to a lot of older customers who don't initially rush out to buy records. They may wait until they're familiar with two or three songs. Could her album come back up? Absolutely."
