As Puff Daddy's fading Forever proves, permanence-purporting album titles don't always guarantee success. Here are a few artists who may want to stay out of the prognostication business.
-- Brian M. Raftery
ARTIST Puff Daddy ALBUM Forever (1999) EERILY PRESCIENT SONG ''Is This the End'' WHAT'S IN A NAME? Forever fell out of the top 10 in its third week of release -- it may be time to make room for Daddy on VH1.
ARTIST Bobby Brown ALBUM Forever (1997) EERILY PRESCIENT song ''Give It Up'' WHAT'S IN A NAME? Ever since this comeback CD sank without a trace, Brown has stayed out of the recording studio.
ARTIST Wu-Tang Clan ALBUM Wu-Tang Forever (1997) EERILY PRESCIENT SONG ''As High as the Wu-Tang Get'' WHAT'S IN A NAME? While the collective's last album topped the charts, a few subsequent solo albums failed to woo listeners.
ARTIST Everlast ALBUM Forever Everlasting (1990) EERILY PRESCIENT SONG ''Goodbye'' WHAT'S IN A NAME? Everlast waited eight years to go solo again after this failed debut.
