Best & Worst / Music

10 ''Wannabe'' and ''Say You'll Be There'' // Spice Girls (Virgin, singles) Uncle.

THE WORST

1 ''BUTTERFLY KISSES'' // Bob Carlisle (Diadem, single) We're glad you're proud of your little girl, Bob, but did you have to set those emotions to soft-focus music that makes us puke quicker than morning sickness? And then overemote in a way that makes Michael Bolton sound like a mumbler?

2 YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE // LeAnn Rimes (Curb, album) The national anthem, ''God Bless America,'' rote remakes of pop standards — a fine program for a state fair or a beauty-pageant contestant, but not a major-league act. The sloppiest excuse for a superstar follow-up since Vanilla Ice's live album, by a young woman with a whole lotta voice and a whole little sense of what to do with it.

3 SECRET SAMADHI // Live (Radioactive, album) If this humorless, self-important twaddle is what rock has become, then maybe the genre is dead after all.

4 ''WE TRYING TO STAY ALIVE'' // Wyclef Jean (Columbia, single) Say what you will about the Fugees, at least they record their own versions of oldies rather than resort to lazy sampling — or did, that is, until this needless Bee Gees retread.

5 YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU // Matchbox 20 (Lava/Atlantic, album) As if we need another reason to grouse about Counting Crows and Hootie: Their ascendance has led to a glut of grating young dullards like this. Let's hope the woman who inspired the line ''I want to take you for granted'' (from the creepy hit ''Push'') is long gone.
