Inter: scope Records artist Brian Setzer is having the biggest album of his 7 post-Stray Cats career. "The Dirty Boogie," from the Brian Setzer Orchestra (BSO), jumps to No. 26 on I this week's Billboard 200, making it Setzer's highest chart mark since "Rant N' Rave With The Stray Cats" hit No.

14 in 1983. The BSO's 1996 album, "Guitarslinger," failed to make the chart. While Setzer's man-; ager, Dave Kaplan, is more than will-' ing to concede that Setzer's success is partly due to the swing movement sweeping the country, he's quick to add that this is also the "culmina- tion of years of hard work on Brian's part. Six years ago, when he first started with a 17-piece orches-, -tra, people looked at him like he was'. -a guy with a square head and one eye going into a modeling agency For five years, he's crisscrossed the- country, every year going up to larger and larger venues without benefit of radio or video play.

So -there has to be a tip of the hat to word-of-mouth from all that touring that can't be underestimated." 5 1- A tour you're invited Alanis Morissette, whose new I album will be out Nov. 3 on Maver-; ickWarner do a U.S. 3 tmhti-t fit I i LONDON (AP) For almost four months, Kevin Spacey has been thrilling London theatergoers as a titanic Hickey in a new revival of Eugene O'Neill's marathon play, "The Iceman Cometh." American audiences, in the meantime, can admire his contribution to thrills of a different sort, as he faces off against Samuel L. Jackson in what looks to be the summer's most breathlessly exciting film, "The Negotiator." In the movie, Spacey locks screen wits atop a Chicago high-rise with a fellow hostage negotiator wrongly accused of murder. In London, he's headlining a 472-hour play on stage twice on Saturdays.

"By doing a movie like that," Spacey says, "I can afford to do this." "This" is the first stage role in almost five years for an actor who spent two years at New York's Juil-liard School before he embarked on a career playing Chekhov, Shakespeare and Ibsen. "I mean, I love being able to turn up in places that are surprising," he continues, speaking not 24 hours before he has to the reviews, so it hardly needed interviews to fan the flames. The actor, who has won both an Academy Award for "The Usual Suspects" and a Tony for "Lost In Yonkers," both for best supporting actor, knows that mega-budget popcorn movies even smart ones like "The Negotiator" aren't exactly famil- -iar terrain for him. "I think for some people it will be surprising for me to turn up in a movie like this," he says. Then again, he adds, "For some people, who expect all I should be doing is movie after movie after movie, it's surprising that I'm here doing That's great fun." What's important, he feels, is to continue to stretch and grow and not do the expected.

"We tend to live in this environment, particularly in entertainment, where people want to pigeonhole everybody 'that's a leading man; that's a character actor; that's a person who should only do this because that's what they "The fact of the matter is actors should be able to explore any kind of territory, any i- kind of genre, for me as long as it's credible," he said. :5.," i.

Gary Gray's intense thriller represents summer fare at its most astute. It's full of gunfire and crowd scenes, to be sure, but also offers well-developed char acters and opportunities for actors not to be eclipsed by the special "I wanted to try to see if I could do a big commercial action movie that I could live with myself in the morning about," says Spacey BARGAIN MATINEE DAILY ALL CONTINUOUS SHOWS DAILY MILAN 11:301:40 4:20 7:15 9:25 it If 1 mme solo career Mr.

Big and small country Country music sales are up for the first half of 1998. SoundScan figures show that total sales for the first half of this year total $31.1 million, as compared with 1997's first-half total of $29.1 million. But one longtime industry leader and observer cautions against any victory celebrations.

RCA Label Group chairman Joe Galante says that "essentially, total units are up from 30 million to 32 million. There are two things to look at, though: 'Hope Floats' and Garth Brooks. That soundtrack is not really a country album, and we had two big Garth albums. So, you take those two fac- tors out and our 6 percent growth is" really only 3 percent. I would characterize country sales as essen- tially flat.

Pop is up 10 percent to 12 percent, so I think as a genre we're underperforming."
