This summer female pop stars are clearing out space for themselves, and the season's usual sea of masculinity is parting. The debut CD by Alaskan pop-folkie Jewel, Pieces of You (Atlantic), has sold more than 5 million copies and is still riding high on the charts. Erykah Badu, with her poetry-slam soulfulness, has sold more than 1 million copies of her brilliant new CD Baduizm (Kedar Entertainment/Universal) and is a headliner on this summer's neo-soul Smokin' Grooves Tour.

Last week he paid immediate dividends by attracting a near sellout crowd of 51,901 and turning them all into Irabu-sters as he struck out nine Tigers and allowed five hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings in a remarkably poised major league debut. When Torre took him out of the game in the seventh, Irabu was given a standing ovation and then was called out of the dugout for an encore.
