Year-End 2001- 20 Years Ago

#1 2001

Single - "Hanging by a Moment" - Lifehouse. First single, debut album, Smash!!! Even though it never peaked at #1, It was one of only four songs in the history of the Hot 100 to be named the number one single of the year without making it to the top of the chart on any of the weekly surveys. (The first was "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs in 1965, the second was "Breathe" by Faith Hill in 2000, and the fourth was "Levitating" by Dua Lipa in 2021.)

Album - #1's - The Beatles. The album features virtually every number-one single the band achieved in the United Kingdom and United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation available on only one CD.

Since I've been watching the documentary, there's a scene when Paul is working this song out. Fascinating to watch.
