The movie may be a widely acknowledged box office disappointment, but Space Jam the album isn't committing any fouls in record stores. Thanks to two top 20 hits (R. Kelly's ballad ''I Believe I Can Fly'' and Seal's remake of the Steve Miller Band's ''Fly Like an Eagle''), the R&B-geared soundtrack rebounds into the top 5 this week. With Evita making a dramatic leap from seventh to second place (as two other soundtracks, Romeo + Juliet and The Preacher's Wife, hold steady in the top 10), the members of No Doubt must -- undoubtedly -- be nervous about retaining their No. 1 spot.
