‘Millennium Mix’ Moves Up
Kenny G’s holiday album dropped out of the Southern California sales chart, but the saxophonist took advantage of New Year’s Eve to crash the singles list with his “Millennium Mix” of “Auld Lang Syne.” On the album chart, the two new entries--West Coast rapper 2Pac and New York’s DMX--reflected their regional followings and reversed their national showings, with 2Pac outpacing DMX.
