PRESS RELEASE

98 Degrees Sets All Time Record at Top 40 Mainstream Radio

*First Single 'Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)' From New Album Revelation Ablaze at Radio*

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal recording artist 98 Degrees demonstrated its ability to sizzle the competition at Top 40 Mainstream radio: their first single "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" from their forthcoming album broke the record for most-added single ever at the format. Briny Spears' "Oops I Did It Again" held the record previously with 155 adds (out of a panel of 172 stations) in one week. The harmony-driven foursome topped her number by 15 with 170 adds this week.

"Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" is the first single from 98 Degrees' eagerly-anticipated forthcoming release, Revelation, which is scheduled to hit stores on September 26th. It is the group's fourth record and the follow-up to their five-times-platinum album, 98 Degrees And Rising, which garnered three Top 10 hits "Because of You," "The Hardest Thing," and "I Do (Cherish You)." The group, which is composed of Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre, recently filmed a video for "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" at the Mayan Ruins in Mexico with director Wayne Isham.

June 23, 2000

It's done, It's done!!!!!

Today is the last day of recording and it has been amazing. We have been recording for 90 days which isn't that long but it has been pretty hectic. You'll be happy to know that we decided on a title for the album and it is "Revelation." We also scheduled the video and Wayne is directing it again. The concept is very cool. Everything is finally starting to come together and we are very excited.

We're going to need your help on the 1st of August. That is the day that "Una Noche" goes to all the radio stations. We need you to call in and request it. Don't forget about TRL.

We can't wait to get back out there and start working this new record. Thanks and we'll see you soon.
