Cher Makes It Into the Top 10

The Offspring’s “Americana” returns to No. 1 on the Southern California chart, which also welcomes Cher’s latest to the Top 10. The region’s singles chart has new entries in the bottom three slots, but no fewer angels--R. Kelly and Celine Dion’s “I’m Your Angel” is out, but Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” is in. Monica’s “Angel of Mine” holds on to the No. 1 spot.
