Limp Bizkit Is Still Tops Locally

Limp Bizkit may have ceded the No. 1 spot on the nation’s album charts to another Florida-bred act, the Backstreet Boys, but here in Southern California the rap-rock outfit is still on top. Veteran rapper Too $hort’s “Can’t Stay Away” has the best debut this week on the local album tally by landing at No. 4, while Will Smith’s one-week reign on the singles chart was ended by the new No. 1, Christina Aguilera’s “Genie in a Bottle.”
