HOW TO EXPLAIN the chart resurgence of Bush's year-old Sixteen Stone? Some might assign its return to the top 10 to the strength of the single ''Glycerine.'' Conspiracy theorists will blame the British Invasion factor, bolstered by Oasis' even bigger boost this week. We figure it's the sudden support of Courtney Love devotees, now that the online world is rife with rumors of a romance between Love and Bushman Gavin Rossdale.
