Bank on Kenny

Kenny G’s latest collection of cotton candy melodies has found a wide audience. The saxman’s “The Moment” has replaced Nirvana’s “From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah” atop The Times’ Southern California album sales chart after two weeks in stores. Meanwhile, Marilyn Manson’s “Antichrist Superstar” comes charging out of the gate, debuting at No. 3 on both the local and national charts. And Leann Rimes’ “Blue” continues to dominate the country charts: The major-label debut from the 14-year-old singer is No.1 on the national country chart for the 14th straight week.
