‘Baby Boy’ Soundtrack Strong in L.A.

The biggest achievement on this week’s chart is that of the “Baby Boy” soundtrack. The John Singleton film starring Tyrese Gibson and Snoop Dogg is set in Los Angeles, and that might have something to do with its local rather than national success. The album ranked 14th locally and 42nd nationally. The soundtrack includes the track “Just a Baby Boy” featuring Gibson and Snoop Dogg.
