Tori’s Third Tops

Tori Amos’ third solo album, “Boys for Pele,” couldn’t dislodge the powerful “Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack from the top of the national album chart, but it debuts at No. 1 on The Times’ Southern California chart. Meanwhile, El Monte teenager Lina Santiago’s “Feels So Good (Show Me Your Love)” stays at the top of the local singles chart for the second consecutive week. And Selena, Santiago’s idol and role model, continues to rule the Latin chart. Her posthumous album “Dreaming of You” has topped the chart since its release more than six months ago.
