While unable to match season-ending episodes of "Touched by an Angel" and "The X-Files," "Creature" still scared up ABC's biggest Sunday movie audience since February. NBC easily finished first for the week thanks to "Seinfeld," the sixth most-watched entertainment program ever. "ER" rode those coattails to its own all-time high, and "Dateline NBC" scored big ratings with a Jerry Seinfeld interview. Even ABC's "Dharma Greg" ran a "Seinfeld" -themed episode, but the wedding of CBS' "The Nanny" won that time slot, as the Fran Drescher sitcom waltzed off with its highest rating since 1996.

After "Dharma," the final "Ellen" drew less than 10 million viewers slightly more than a quarter of the audience that watched the program's coming-out episode in April 1997. NBC's Daytime Emmy Awards show didn't win any Nielsen prizes either; viewership fell 17 compared to last year on ABC. -BRIAN LOWRY a KNBC 31 KMIR Another World TV14 86575 KTLA Hunter KABC 13 KEYT 42 KESQ All My Children 35865 KCAL News Gonzales, Lopez DO KTTV Beverly Hillbillies IB KCOP Montel Williams Teen-age murderer. 15136 DO KSCI Mandarin Drama EQ KWHY Business News 1241 KVCR Sew Many Quilts BD KCET Mister Rogers 20830 E3 KTBN The 700 Club E3 KHSC linens, Etc.

it The Drew Carey Show Kate and Oswald's wedding. Season Finale I 1 ALBUMS Continued from F7 the record will land the soundtrack. Thus, Sony acquired the soundtrack to "Armageddon," which is being released by Disney-owned Touchstone Pictures, by delivering Aerosmith, which also performs another new song and two older songs on the soundtrack.) Sony hopes that the Aerosmith song will become linked so powerfully with the movie that it will drive sales of the soundtrack in the way that Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" drove "The Bodyguard" in 1992 or Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" drove "Titanic." Gauging a soundtrack's potential, however, is tricky. "They're really the hardest records to predict because it's not only about the quality of the music or the success of the movie," says Bob Bell, a buyer for the Where-house retail chain. "There's also that element of, how prominent is the music in the movie, and what type of movie is it? "Historically, the big summer action blockbusters haven't been the movies with the strongest soundtracks, just because music isn't usually that big a factor in those movies.

But I think last year 'Men in Black' disproved that. The music was strong enough on that record to drive sales." Brunman, who has been involved in putting together some 100 soundtracks for Sony, says the albums must stand on their own to be successful. "You've got to make a record that connects with the spirit of the movie and acts as kind of an extension of it," he says. "If you do that, you've made a record that people will want to buy." phony: Chnstoph tschenbach conducts Barber Meditation and Dance of Berlioz Death of Dvorak (9th Symphony), KKGO-fM (105.1).
