Michael Jackson can't be a very happy camper. Sure, his album's selling millions of copies, and he must be resigned by now to the beating he's taking on the charts from Garth Brooks, Nirvana, and lately from the resurgent Natalie Cole, buoyed by her multiple Grammy wins. But this week-indignity! Jackson even loses out to the soundtrack from Wayne's World! Garth Brooks, meanwhile, maintains his country stranglehold. And if anyone wonders where his earliest album (the one at No. 3 on the country chart) now sits in the pop rankings-well, it's still pretty high, even if in recent weeks it drifted slowly from No. 21, heading down toward the 30s.
