TLC on the Move

TLC’s “Creep” is creeping to the top of the Times’ Southern California pop singles chart, moving up two more notches to No. 2. Nationally, though, it’s already No. 1. The single is powering the hip-hop trio’s album, “Crazysexycool,” up the Southern California pop chart, from No. 20 to No. 11. With the holiday now history, sales of Kenny G’s “Miracles: The Holiday Album” have finally tailed off. It was bumped out of the No. 1 spot on the Southern California R&B; chart by Boyz II Men’s “II,” a consistent seller late in the year, but no match for “Miracles.”
