On the Short List

Too Short is still too much for his Southland competition for the second straight week. “Gettin’ It,” the rapper’s “retirement album,” maintains its No. 1 position on The Times’ Southern California chart while dropping three spots nationally to No. 6. Porno for Pyros’ “Good God’s Urge” debuts at No. 6 locally and No. 20 nationally.
