THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME that Columbia Records has had a great week on the charts, nor is this week's No. 1 Hot R &B Single "The First Time" a first top- charter for Surface -the group has had three others. This may well be the longest climb up the charts for this group: It took 14 weeks and placed ahead of "Love Makes Things Happen" by Pebbles (MCA) by a hair. "First Time" is listed by the entire panel and ranks No. 2 in radio-only points: It is No. 1 in its retail ranking. This week's Power Pick /Airplay record is awarded to another Columbia single, "Someday" by Mariah Carey. It gained new activity at 58 stations and has reports from a total of 77. It is already at No. 17 at WZAK in Cleve- land. Two more Columbia records leap into the top 10. "Around The Way Girl" by L.L. Cool J moves up 12-8. It is on 94 stations, gaining new reports from WHJX Jacksonville, Fla., and WVEE Atlanta. It is No. 1 at KDAY Los Angeles. "Girl" also has eight top five reports and 19 top 10 listings. "Gonna Make You Sweat" by C &C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams jumps up 15-9, with 104 reporting stations. It is No. 1 at WDKX Rochester, N.Y., and WJMI Jackson, Miss. It has 12 top five reports and 15 top 10 reports. And "Let Me Show You" by the Black Flames (OBR) debuts at No. 88. A job well done by Eddie Pugh, VP of R &B promotion.

AS I WAS SAYING: "I'm Your Baby Tonight" by Whitney Houston The latest single from the near -platinum (Arista), both the single and the album, have returned Houston's music to prominence on the R &B charts. The album holds at No. 1 for the fifth album ATTITUDE, with two #1 singles. This week, and "All The Man That I Need" bolts 38-27 in its fifth week on the singles chart. Seven stations report it new, including WJMH Greensboro, N.C.; KKBT Los Angeles; KJMZ Dallas; and WHRK Memphis. "Baby To- time TROOP follows up "All I Do Is Think Of night" was Houston's first No. 1 single since "How Will I Know" topped the chart in 1985. Her previous album, "Whitney Houston," didn't make it You with another smash -hit ballad that's to No. 1, either. Welcome back, Whitney.

destined for greatness. I JUST DON'T GET IT: Earlier this week, I told Jeffrey Osborne that I Management: David T. Cook, Steve Cohen thought his album is one of the finest R &B albums out now. He graciously Platinum Gold Productions reminded me that "Do Me Again" by Freddie Jackson (Capitol) is also an excellent project, and that Barry Eastmond had produced most of both albums. Unfortunately, though Osborne's single, "Only Human" (Arista), moves up 4 -3, it does not have sufficient points to retain its bullet. Worse, "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" by Janet Jackson (A &M) is vaulting "ONEOVDAB1GBOIZ"(81186! up behind it. "Only Human" has reports from 107 stations and appeared to be headed for No. 1 until this week. It has No. 1 reports from 17 stations, (ONE OF THE BIG BOYS) including WRKS New York (it is No. 2 at WBLS New York); WOWI Nor- folk, Va.; WQQK Raleigh, N.C.; and WEAS Savannah, Ga. It has top five reports from 47 stations. It moves up 5-3 in radio rank, but only 4 -3 in retail as Pebbles' "Love Makes Things Happen" jumps it, 5-2. if I LOVE MUSIC" (Phila. Int'l.) is only one of the 10 No. 1 singles that the O'Jays have achieved over the years. This week's Hot Shot Debut is "Don't Let Me Down" (EMI). It slams onto the singles chart with 91 station reports, gaining 82 this week.

This is the fifth single released from Jackson's "Here In The Real World" album, which is music still at No. 10 after 44 weeks on the Top Country Albums chart. "He's #1 country singles got to be one of the biggest success stories of 1990," Patrick says, "and he just keeps churning them out. I'm really impressed with this record." "This one is just the kind of song our audience seems to like best from publisher of the year. Alan Jackson -a ballad," adds MD Steve Gary, KASE Austin, Texas. It debuts this week on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart at No. 59 and counts among its early believers WPOC Baltimore; WAMZ Louis- ville, Ky.; WYRK Buffalo, N.Y.; WDAF Kansas City, Mo.; KYGO Den- ver; KXXY Oklahoma City; WUSY Chattanooga, Tenn.; WCMS Norfolk, Overall BMG ranked Va.; WNOE New Orleans; WGKX Memphis; and KPLX Dallas.

"[Lead singer] Marty Raybon nails the vocals on it really solid," says MD Al Hamilton, KEBC Oklahoma City. "It'll be another big one for the group."

"HOLLY DUNN has finally fallen into her niche," says PD Charlie even better. Casady, KKCS Colorado Springs. "Her last single [ "You Really Had Me Going "] was a killer and it is still one of our best-testing records. Her new one is already getting a lot of calls." Dunn's "Heart Full Of Love" (Warner Bros.), jumping up the chart 59- 46, is also attracting a lot of attention at WFLS Fredericksburg, Va., To Billboard, our writers, the artists, according to PD Jim Asker. "It's off to a real strong start here," Asker says. "I think it's possibly her best record in a long time -a great radio song."

MANY THANKS: A mere thanks doesn't seem strong enough to express my gratitude for all the record input, tidbits, encouragement, and support this column has received over the past four years. With the filing of this week's column, I will bid adieu to the country chart department and move to a new challenge-that of heading a new BPI operation in Nashville that will be developing some new products, including a touring- talent database.

The infomercial video is not available in retail stores. Smith has released eight health and fitness sell - through videos between 1984 and 1990 on both the JCI and Media Home Entertainment labels, claim- ing sales of more than 2 million HealthSFitnessVideo copies. With Jane Fonda and Callan Pinckney, she is regarded as one of the reigning queens of fitness video. In addition to owning the Mezze- plex health club in Los Angeles, Smith can be seen in more than 125 markets nationwide on the "Healthy Lifestyles" series and has been a contributing fitness correspondent for NBC's "Today." Research data on infomercial customers thus far, Renker says, demonstrate that "she comes across very sincerely." Renker adds that experience has shown that the expanded scope of the national advertising will soon "drive people into retail stores" looking for her videos. "People who have never bought Kathy Smith before will see her on TV," he says, "and they will have a little trouble with the [$150] price point. Thus, they will sample her through [home] video. Then they will decide she's fantastic and that she delivers the goods. The reverse works as well." Interestingly, Renker notes that Guthy -Renker expected to reach a huge percentage of the more than 2 million people who have purchased Smith's videos. "What we are discovering, instead, is that we are capturing an entirely new market. Only 10% of our buyers have bought her home videos. The research is also showing that most of the buyers have never bought on TV before and have not a NO SWEAT. THE CRAZE ISN'T OVER; HEALTI AND FITNESS IS HERE TO STAY.

"Love" was the Power Pick /Sales & Airplay in the Dec. 8 "night in 1990 24 day" issue, so all four combined power picks -and out of the 27 and double winners to date -have hit No. 1. Looking at the separate airplay (87825) and sales charts, you might assume "Justify" would be No. 1 overall The new single from because it is No. 1 in sales and No. 2 in airplay, while "Love" is No. 1 in the platinum all airplay but only No. 6 in sales. Here's why "Love" wins: "Justify" is No. SOME PEOPLE'S LIVES 1 in sales by a small margin, and Nos. 2 through 6 in sales have almost as (82129) many points. On the airplay side, however, "Love" is No. 1 by a huge margin over "Justify" -236 stations on "Love" vs. 207 reporting airplay Produced by Ant Mardin on "Justify." Overall, "Love Will Never Do" has a strong point lead over Associate Producer the rest of the chart, and is likely to hold at No. 1 for a second week. Marc Shaiman

NE MORE TRY" BY Timmy T. (Quality), an independently distributed record, wins the Power Pick /Airplay as 47 adds and six top five radio reports fuel a 24 -place jump to No. 39. It's No. 1 at KLUC Las Ve- gas and No. 2 at B95 in Fresno, Calif., the singer's hometown. Only three indie singles -two by Tone Loc and one by Run -D.M.C. -have gone top five in the last five years, but "Try" has an 88% chance of doing it, and a 55% chance of being the first No. 1 indie single in recent years. "Love Makes Things Happen" by Pebbles (MCA) wins the Power Pick /Sales, with strong reports from Denver (No. 3 at Y108; No. 6 at KS104).

"SOMEDAY" BY MARIAH CAREY (Columbia) makes a strong de- but at No. 37 with 171 adds this week on top of the 24 stations already reporting airplay on the track as an album cut, for 195 stations in total. It's already top 10 at Q106.5 St. Louis. Three artists have made their Hot 100 bows in the last two weeks. Tara Kemp from the Bay area enters the chart at No. 84 with her first single, "Hold You Tight." (The cassette single is on Giant, but the 12 -inch vinyl and maxicassette are on indie label Big Beat.) Last week, New York rapper Father M.C. debuted at No. 87 with "I'll Do 4 U" (Uptown); this week, it takes the biggest jump on the chart, 25 places to No. 62, with explosive sales growth. And new group Another Bad Creation, composed of six boys aged 7 through 12, jumps 18 places to No. 60 with its debut single, "Iesha" (Motown).

QUICK CUTS: Three songs have enough airplay points to be on the Hot 100 but are not available as singles. First is "Do The Bartman" by Bart Simpson (Geffen), up to No. 12 in airplay points as an album cut. "Res- cue Me" by Madonna (Sire) is already up to No. 30 on the Top 40 Radio Monitor (page 74), and has enough radio points to chart now, but will not be a single until next month. Finally, "Games" by New Kids On The Block (Columbia) is also still awaiting single release ... The top 15 is tightly competitive; as a result, "Miles Away" by Winger (Atlantic) is pushed down one place to No. 13 despite gaining points. Also tight is the 405, where "Candy" by Iggy Pop (Virgin) holds at No. 46 despite earning a bullet and scoring seven early top 10 radio reports, including Q105 JELLYBEAN Tampa, Fla., and Q106 San Diego.
