You can learn a lot from a chart-topper.

That's what the gents of 98 Degrees will take away from this summer's Nickelodeon "All That" Music & More Festival, which gave the group ample time to rub elbows with Monica, a woman who knows a thing or two about how to successfully navigate through the music biz.

"Monica came into our dressing room one night," 98 Degrees' Drew Lachey recently told the MTV Radio Network. "We just sat down and talked about her schedule and our schedule, and what she had coming up. It's kind of cool to really just talk to other artists and see what they're doing and how their career is progressing as opposed to yours, and just kind of get ideas... and then try to put your own original spin on it."

The group may not need that much help, as the "All That" tour has given yet another sales boost to its double platinum album "98 Degrees and Rising."

98 Degrees, Monica, and the rest of the "All That" acts will wrap up their run on August 21 in Washington, D.C. 98 Degrees will then take a few days off before setting out on another string of dates which will see them hook up with Britney Spears for a couple of shows.
