You must remember this: A powerful song is still a powerful song. This fundamental thing applies to the pop-album chart this week, as the soundtrack to Sleepless in Seattle goes the long distance from No. 4 to No. 2 and leaves Barbra Streisand in its hyper-romantic dust. Sleepless goes down memory lane with Jimmy Durante's schmaltzy old version of ''As Time Goes By,'' but also nods to neoclassic pop with Carly Simon's glossy version of ''In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning'' and Rickie Lee Jones and Dr. John's robust duet of ''Makin' Whoopee.''
