Faith Hill Is Top in the Nation

Faith Hill’s new album entered the national charts at No. 1, but Southern Californians aren’t ready to crown her as the new Shania. Her “Breathe” finished fifth in the region, and was only the second-best debut, behind Fiona Apple’s sophomore collection. Jessica Simpson took over the top spot on the Southern California singles sales chart.
