A ‘Supernatural’ Stronghold and a Little Bit of Sting

Santana’s hit album has returned to the top of the sales chart in Southern California, a region that is also giving a big boost to Sting’s new collection--it’s No. 3 locally, but only No. 17 nationally. On the singles chart, Mariah Carey has finally been toppled from No. 1, though it took two stars--Gloria Estefan with ‘N Sync--to do it.
