22	7	108	2001 & 2002	Action It's from his Summer Of 1994 CD "Yaga Yaga", and it's a classic dancehall anthem - one of the first to become a mainstream pop hit worldwide. It nearly cracked the U.S. TOP 40 back then during its nearly 5 months on the charts. It spent 7 weeks on our chart in December 2001 and January 2002, and 4 of those weeks were at # 22.	Terror Fabulous Ft. Nadine Sutherland
28	5	57	2001 & 2002	Alive P.O.D. are a hard rock band from San Diego California. Their existence dates back about 15 years. Their first few albums under a small Indie label were released during the mid-1990s. In 1998 they signed with Atlantic Records. Their biggest album to date - the triple-platinum "Satellite" - was released on Tuesday September 11th 2001. Its first single was this U.S. TOP 5 rock radio smash that also crossed-over to pop radio. It was a positive song during troubled times.	P.O.D.
1	47	1158	2001	Butterfly (Come And Dance With Me) It was the # 1 smash of the entire year in 2001 - and deservedly so. It spent the first 47 weeks of the year (January through November) on our chart - more than any other hit during the year. It was at # 1 for a couple of weeks in April 2001. It also hit # 1 nationally on the U.S. pop chart. Crazy Town featuring lead singer Shifty Shellshock were a one-hit wonder, but what a MASSIVE hit it was !	Crazy Town
1	51	1198	2001 & 2002	Castles In The Sky A full 7 months before our 'Pure Dance Era' kicked-off in January 2002 this International trance smash got the party started early. It was one of our earliest trance hits, and it spent 21 non-consecutive weeks on our chart in 2001. It finished the year as the # 18 smash overall. Once the party got started in 2002 it promptly re-entered our chart and spent another 30 consecutive weeks on our chart. It finished the year as the # 14 smash overall.	Ian Van Dahl Ft. Marsha
4	15	449	2001 & 2002	Dig In Lenny Kravitz was one of my favourite artists of the late-1990s into the 21st Century. Several of his big hits could have become a MASSIVE Memory such as "Fly Away" and "Again". But I selected "Dig In" for the honour. It's from his 6TH CD "Lenny" which was released late in 2001, and it's my favourite Lenny Kravitz hit of all-time !	Lenny Kravitz
36	3	13	2001	Fat Lip Sum 41 formed in Ontario Canada during the Summer Of 1996. Their first full-length album "All Killer No Filler" was released 5 years later in May 2001. This was the big hit from that album. It was also featured on the Soundtrack to "American Pie 2". It recalled a 1980s Beastie Boys sound to it - modernized if you will for the new millennium. It was about a guy who didn't wanna waste his time to become another casualty of society.	Sum 41
1	42	1109	2001	Hanging By A Moment Jason Michael Wade and his bandmates known as Lifehouse catapulted themselves into the mainstream in 2001 with their debut pop and rock smash from their 2000 debut album "No Name Face". It went on to become the most-played song of the year on U.S. radio in 2001. It spent a MASSIVE 42 weeks in a row on our chart - nearly 10 months !	Lifehouse
1	39	960	2001 & 2002	I'll Fly With You While we were still a mainstream pop chart in 2001 it spent 11 quick weeks with us including 2 weeks at # 1 in August. It finished the year as the # 42 song of 2001. During the first week of January 2002 when we officially flipped over to pure dance Gigi D'Agostino re-joined the party, and so it flew high for the first 28 weeks of the new year. It finished the year as the # 19 song of 2002.	Gigi D'Agostino
1	32	1059	2001 & 2002	I'm A Believer I could've selected their breakthrough smash "Walkin' On The Sun". It only spent 14 months on the U.S. pop chart. I could've selected "All Star". It was only our # 1 smash of the entire year in 1999. I nearly selected "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby". It's the most memorable of all of the Smash Mouth songs, and it's from a great movie - "Can't Hardly Wait". But I officially selected their 5TH single (and 2ND # 1 smash) "I'm A Believer" as the MASSIVE memory. It was a great tune from The Monkees the year I was born (1967), and Smash Mouth successfully remade and modernized it into another great tune 34 years later in 2001. No wonder it spent 5 weeks at # 1 !	Smash Mouth
1	14	380	2001	Izzo (H.O.V.A.) Jay-Z scored an unexpected # 1 smash here on our pop chart during its last few weeks in the Autumn Of 2001 before we flipped over to pure dance. He fo' shizzled hiz nizzle and fo' sheezied hiz neezy up and down the chart for 3 months.	Jay-Z
19	7	104	2001	Me, Myself, & I Jive Jones was a top-selling songwriter and producer who worked on Mandy Moore's "Candy" in 1999. He likes (and works on) hit music from various different genres. This debut title-track from his eventual 2002 CD was a regional hit in selected parts of the U.S. - especially in Tampa and Miami. Jive was born in Tampa and raised in Miami.	Jive Jones
24	2	29	2001	My Heart Goes Boom This song was a MASSIVE flop in 2001. It entered the chart at # 24 in late-July, dropped to # 29 the following week, and fell off of the chart for good the week after that. When I hear it today I can't help but wonder what went wrong. This is an amazing dance track - particularly Plasmic Honey's Radio Edit !	French Affair
2	30	626	2001 & 2002	Sandstorm This International pop and dance smash spent 10 weeks on our chart in 2001, and 20 weeks in 2002. It finished as the # 56 song of 2001, and it should finish within the TOP 50 for 2002. Its 30 weeks on our chart included only 6 weeks within the TOP 10 and 14 weeks within the TOP 20. JS16 arranged, mixed, remixed, and produced "Sandstorm" for Darude.	Darude
35	2	11	2001	Smooth Criminal I didn't think much of this song when it came out shortly before 9-11 in 2001. I much preferred the original from Michael Jackson. It was the 7TH (and best) single released from his 1987-1989 "Bad" album. The 2001 remake managed to climb into the TOP 25 on the U.S. pop chart, but it barely made a dent here on our waning pop chart at the time.	Alien Ant Farm
7	10	273	2001	Start The Commotion The Wiseguys were a duo from the U.K. In September 1998 they spent a single week on the U.K. pop chart (at # 66) with this techno track. Exactly a year to the week later they re-entered the U.K. pop chart - again for a single week (at # 47). They were far more successful right here stateside from August to October 2001 as they helped sell a lot of Mitsubishis !	The Wiseguys
13	5	117	2001	Stomp To My Beat Jaakko Salovaara is JS16, and he's from Finland. In 1997 he released this track in his home country, and various mixes and incarnations of it were released all around the world in subsequent years since then. It eventually made its way onto our chart during the Summer Of 2001 where it had a brief stay within the TOP 20.	JS16
4	12	318	2001	What Would You Do ? Claudette Ortiz, Robby Pardlo, and Ryan Toby had a MASSIVE year in 2001 as City High. This was their HUGE debut smash that was co-produced by Wyclef Jean. It sampled Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode". It spent 6½ months on the U.S. pop chart. It peaked at # 4 for 4 weeks in a row here on our chart.	City High
5	12	253	2001	Where The Party At ? Nelly was one of our many breakout stars of 2000 and 2001. "Country Grammar" was his # 1 debut smash, and he followed that up with "E.I." and ultimately "Ride Wit' Me" which was one of our TOP 15 hits of 2001. Later in 2001 Nelly joined his good friends Jagged Edge on this party-searchin' track, and it hit our TOP 5. The two hits helped Nelly become our # 7 artist of all of 2001.	Jagged Edge Ft. Nelly
