Good Morning POU! Let’s check out the songs and shows of 2001!
R&B had a really nice year here……Janet, Joe, Usher, Mary, Alicia, Ginuwine and Case…all had #1 songs at one point on the charts. Janet topped with All For You.
OK, according to every single chart I could find…this was the #1 Pop song of 2001..and I was yesterday year’s old when I ever heard of it. Was that just me??

2001 In Sports
Earl Woods and Richard Williams made more money for the PGA and the USTA than the law should allow.
Tiger Woods becomes the first golfer in history to hold all four major championship titles at the same time.
Venus Williams wins both the US Open (beating Serena) and Wimbledon.
2001 in fashions………low rise everything for women which was pretty traumatic for those of us without the perfect flat tummy….but guys were wearing clothes twice as big as their actual size. Very weird times.
