Sade’s “Love Deluxe” album, which seemed past its peak a month ago, has spurted back up the pop chart because of a steamy television ad for the movie “Indecent Proposal” featuring her single “No Ordinary Love.” The single’s exposure in that ad and the hit movie has not only boosted the album back into the Top 10 but pushed the single back onto the Top 100--at No. 81. There’s an “Indecent Proposal” soundtrack album, but it’s not jumping up the chart for one simple reason--the most popular song from the movie isn’t on it.

As usual, MCA Records swears this is absolutely the last date change of the overdue Bell Biv DeVoe album, which has been bumped several weeks to June 22. . . . Pearl Jam should have a new album ready by September, but don’t be surprised if its current “Ten”--No. 15 after 72 weeks on the chart and going strong--is still a big seller in late summer.
