Music in 2001




 The year 2001 was no doubt one of the best years in terms of singles and albums released, even if some boy band, group or artist were starting to downfall a little bit, this time was repleted with good and immersive songs!!

We can relate the albums of "Britney" by herself, "Celebrity" by *Nsync, "World of our own" by West Life, "Songs in a mirror" by Alicia Keys, "Discovery" from Daftpunk with the famous song "one ore time", as one of the good and new stuff arriving in 2001.

Talking about a little of general music, we must not forget that this was the year that Michael Jackson released his last Album "Invincible", Lenny Kravitz brought us some good music like "Stillness of Heart" from his album "Lenny". The most famous song of the year was "hanging by a moment" by Lifehouse that lead the music charts in 2001 and also "Fallin" by Alicia Keys was the second most famous and with the best performance in the music charts in the same year. 

The Eurodance and Dance Pop genre, was still in a good "era", with Vengaboys with recently hits like " we´re going to Ibiza" (1999) and "Shala lala" of the previous year at the time (2000).

Shakira and Pink made it great with songs like "whenever, wherever" and "get the party started" both of the albums "laundry service" and "missundaztood", we also have to remember Pink´s participation in "lady marmelade" on the side of Xtina, Lya and Lil Kim.

Our virtual friends made a good debut with the album "Gorillaz" with songs like "tomorrow comes today" and "clint eastwood".

But all with this, We already talked about the 2 most famous songs, but we have to mention the most desired  and purchased album of that year, that was "Hybrid Theory" by the iconic band Linkin Park, those guys shown us the great work that they make it one year before (2000), but in 2001 the album stayed as the most solded followed by "Hot Shot" by Shaggy and in third place "Celebrity of Nsync.

 Aaliyah was very good with her album "Aaliyah" and made us feel the good feeling of R&B, her most famous song was try again from one year before (2000), She also was in a time of her live of good innovations like investing in the cinema sector, she was practically signed with future projects at the time like, "honey", "sparkle", and she started to record some scenes of Matrix reloaded. Unfortunately she passed away in a plane accident in August 2001, that was a huge loss, she was a very powerful and rising artist at the time. 

At the end of summer we had the 30 anniversary career of Michael Jackson that was attended by a lots of artists and was between 7 September and 10 September of 2001. (a day right before a huge and sad event) 

The year was coming to and end and with the 9/11 the things we´re under tension, and after that a lot of things in the world changed ad the Pop culture was starting to have different touches and contents, a curious fact is that Nickelback released they´r third album "Silver slide up" in 9/11, the recognizable song "how you remind me" is from that album.
