In Billboard's Opinion...
This could be the end of the road for "The Boy Is
Mine," as Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" has an excellent
chance of debuting at No. 1 on next week's Hot 100. The "Armageddon" song, No. 2
for a second week on Hot 100 Airplay, was delayed from commercial release from August 11
to August 18, and is selling for as low as 49 cents.
As for Brandy & Monica, they should savor having the
top duet of the rock era while they can. Before the year is over, we'll have the first
teaming of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey on a song from the soundtrack to DreamWorks'
animated feature The Prince Of Egypt. If there was ever a single that
could surpass the 16 week-run at No.1 of Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet
Day," this should be it.
