- Contributor

Released in 2001

"So in Love with Two" by Mikaila reached #25 (She was fourteen when she recorded it, which makes the song that much more an uncomfortable listen.)

"Get Over Yourself" by Eden's Crush reached #8 (Eden's Crush was an all-girl pop band which won the TV show "Pop Stars," recorded an album and were never heard from again.)

"Heard it All Before" by Sunshine Anderson reached #18 (Sunshine was getting a B.A. in Criminal Justice when a record producer heard her singing on the way to lunch – or so legend the legend goes.)

"She's All I Got" by Jimmy Cozier reached #26 (Cozier is an R&B songwriter who sang backup vocals on a couple of albums.)

"I Wanna Be Bad" by Willa Ford reached #22 (Ford recently competed on "Dancing With the Stars.")

"Start the Commotion" by The Wiseguys reached #31 (Originally released in the UK, "Commotion" was featured in a Mitsubishi commercial, which rocketed it into pop culture awareness in the US.)

Honorable Mention:

"Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagle Fly" by Aaron Tippin reached #20

"Crazy for this Girl" by Evan and Jaron reached #15.

"Around the World" by ATC reached #33
