The Dogg Show

Rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, who’s been hounded by the media because of his recent problems with the law, turned out to be top dog on The Times’ Southern California pop album chart. His “Doggystyle” trampled the competition, proving again that any publicity is good publicity. At No. 5, Guns N’ Roses’ “The Spaghetti Incident?” is off to a relatively slow start. But negative publicity--about the album track written by Charles Manson--may cause GNR’s sales to shoot up. That huh-huhing you hear is Beavis and Butt-head chuckling about success of their album, “The Beavis and Butt-head Experience,” which debuted at No. 6.
