- Huh? The second biggest single in the USA is "Wild Thing", after "We Are The
- Worl". I hadn't heard about Whitney's feat, though I do think it is likely to
- outsell "Wild Thing" and probably hit 7 or 8 weeks at #1. [She has 6 right now
- if we count next week when the charts are not published in the USA.]
