''I know I felt like this before/Now I'm feeling it even more,'' sang Dolores O'Riordan on the Cranberries' hit, ''Dreams.'' Exactly. The good buzz accrued by the Cranberries' slow-building, double-platinum debut album (Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?), as well as their oft-mentioned Woodstock '94 performance, has paid off: The Irish quartet's sophomore disc, No Need to Argue, moves up to No. 9 in its second week the young group's first top 10 appearance (see story on page 87). Boyz II Men, on the other hand, keep gaining experience in the upper reaches of the chart; their latest album of new-jack love songs, II, regains the No. 1 slot from alterna-elders R.E.M.
