TV can certainly goose the charts: Thanks to Nirvana's appearance on Saturday Night Live two weeks ago, Nevermind shoots straight back up to a second stint at No. 1. Meanwhile, Garth Brooks' TV special, which aired on Jan. 17, stampeded over the competition to win huge ratings. And now-after only two days of TV-heated record sales (the cutoff date for this week's chart was Jan. 21)-the man who had two albums in the top 10 last week now has, incredibly, two in the top five!
