Steely Dan, Pumpkins Find Support
Two big question-mark albums--Steely Dan’s return after 20 years and the Smashing Pumpkins’ effort to rebound from the disappointing “Adore”--both debuted in the Top 10 a week ago, but how did they fare in their second week? In both cases, Southern California fans were more supportive than the national audience, keeping Steely Dan in the Top 5 as they slipped to No. 15 overall, and the Pumpkins far ahead of their No. 20 spot nationally.
