The Grammy Rewards

Eric Clapton’s “Unplugged” is still the top pop album in The Times’ Southern California charts, reflecting the sales surge that followed his big Grammy haul. But another winner, k.d. lang, is basking in the Grammy glow too. Her “Ingeenue,” just 21st nationally, remained in the local Top 10 after taking a giant step up the chart after the award ceremonies. Whitney Houston’s “Bodyguard” singles continue to dominate the pop chart, with three in the Top 20--”I Will Always Love You” (No. 5), “I Have Nothing” (No. 18) and “I’m Every Woman” (No. 19).
