Blink-182 Blasts Off in No. 1 Spot

Local boys do good is the theme of this week’s Southern California album chart. Blink 182 from San Diego County and Sugar Ray, hailing from just a bit further up the I-5 in Orange County, have the top two debuts this week. To make room, Radiohead’s “Amnesiac” tumbles to No. 7 making last week’s hold on No. 1 a fading memory.
