HERE COMES THE 'JUDGE'

Only God can force Master P to make good on his threats to retire from record-making. The basketball player/shoe salesman/movie auteur popped up again with Only God Can Judge Me, acquired by 153,000 nonjudgmental fans for a No. 2 entry. On the post-grunge front, the Stone Temple Pilots' No. 4 fell a little short of its name, at No. 6 with 120,000 sold, while Bush's The Science of Things entered at a disappointing No. 11 with 106,000 over the counter. On the pop chart, LeAnn Rimes and Alan Jackson debuted at Nos. 8 and 9 with their respective tributes to country forebears. Up top, the Santana album enjoyed its strongest week yet -- 199,000! -- continuing a phenomenon only God can fully explain.
