CARLOS IN CHARGE
A few months ago, if we had told you that Santana would shortly become a top 5 staple even as Puff Daddy was falling out of the top 10 after a mere two-week stay, you would've rightly slapped us silly. So give a high five instead to venerable Arista head Clive Davis, or whichever Supernatural deity or devil it is that Carlos made his deal with. Santana's cameo-studded comeback had its best week yet, rising from 133,000 to 139,000 copies and holding solidly at No. 4. Speaking of black-magic women, the Dixie Chicks continued to rule the roost with Fly, despite slipping from a spectacular 341,000-unit first week to a merely splendid 204,000-selling second.
