8 years ago this week, two records were in the making. Uncle Kracker was in his 5th of 23 consecutive weeks at #1 with "Drift Away" (28 in total), a record previously held by Celine Dion, who was setting a new record this week as well. "Have You Ever Been in Love" holds the record for most weeks at #2 without hitting #1. This was Celine's 3rd week at #2. She spent 14 weeks in the runner-up spot total.
Elsewhere Shania Twain scored her 6th (and to date her last) top 10 hit which would eventually become her 3rd #1. Vanessa Carlton, Sheryl Crow and Five For Fighting were all spending over a year on the chart with their respective hits.
At the bottom, Season 2 of American Idol was making its presence known with hits from Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard. Clay became the first non-winning Idol contestant to hit the AC chart.
