How High It Is

Selena’s “Dreaming of You” has been knocked from atop The Times’ Southern California album chart after four weeks at No. 1. It was replaced by the nation’s No. 1 album, the “Dangerous Minds” soundtrack, which features the country’s top-selling single, Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise.” The soundtrack to the rap documentary “The Show,” featuring the single “How High” by Redman and Method Man, made an impressive chart debut. “How High” is No. 11 on the local singles chart.
