Barry Manilow's collection "The Greatest Songs of the '60s" (Arista) tops the Newsday charts, while the "Hanna Montana" soundtrack continues to dominate the national charts, selling 203,000 copies. Other veteran acts -- The Who, Meat Loaf and the surprisingly steady Tony Bennett -- did far better in the area last week than in the rest of the country.
