‘Mission’ Possible: Hot Soundtrack Bumps Off ‘N Sync

‘N Sync may be an immovable object at the top of the national sales chart, but in Southern California the group keeps getting knocked off by harder stuff. A few weeks ago it was Cypress Hill, and now the soundtrack from “M:I-2” (popularly known as “Mission: Impossible-2”) has bumped the boys from No. 1. The aggressive hard-rock collection includes songs by Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Rob Zombie and others.
