Never mind those impending-motherhood rumors: Madonna must be one happy mogul. Even though her latest single, ''Human Nature,'' stiffed, her label, Maverick, is home to rock's latest over-night sensation, tortured Canadian Alanis Morissette. Sparked by the single ''You Oughta Know,'' Morissette's debut album has vaulted to No. 3 in nine weeks -- an extraordinary rise for a newcomer. Jagged Little Pill thus becomes Maverick's highest-charting album to date (aside from Madonna's own discs). Like a virgin indeed.
