Pink Floyd Retains ‘Division’ Title

Pink Floyd’s “The Division Bell” keeps its lock on the No. 1 spot this week, and it looks as though the band’s continuing popularity could keep this album in the Top 10 for a while. Ace of Base’s “The Sign” holds steady at No. 2, while Tim McGraw’s “Not a Moment Too Soon,” which features the single “Indian Outlaw,” moves up one spot to No. 3. The Benedictine Monks’ album of Gregorian chants moves up from No. 6 to No. 5.

The Crash Test Dummies’ “God Shuffled His Feet” moves into the Top 10, fueled by the success of its single, “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm.” Sales of the Nirvana albums dropped slightly, and the album by Courtney Love’s band Hole moved to No. 61 after entering the charts last week at No. 55. Jon Secada’s “If You Go” debuts at No. 54 this week. On the singles chart, R. Kelly’s “Bump ‘n’ Grind” continues to hold the top spot.
