This is the third in a series of polls to decide, once and for all, what the biggest hit of each year was.

Notes: Sorry Janet fans, "All For You" was the odd-song-out in the poll. If you still want to vote for it, or any other song you think was # 1 for the year but isn't in the poll, feel free to do so. I just picked what I felt were the 8 top across-the-board songs.

Fallin'- Alicia Keys

# 1 for 6 weeks on Urban and 5 weeks on Urban AC... # 2 on Rhythmic... # 1 for 6 weeks on the Hot 100... # 1 for 5 weeks on Pop... # 10 for the year in Top 20 points.

Family Affair- Mary J. Blige

# 1 for 2 weeks on Rhythmic and # 2 on Urban... Topped the Hot 100 for 6 weeks... Hit # 1 for 3 weeks on Pop... # 14 for the year in Top 20 points.

Hanging By A Moment- Lifehouse

Became one of the biggest radio hits of all-time... Spent 8 weeks at # 2 on Pop (where it was # 1 for the year)... Hit # 1 on Alternative for 4 weeks... # 1 on Hot AC for 6 weeks... # 1 for the year (and decade) in Top 20 points.

Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)- Blu Cantrell

# 2 on the Hot 100... Top 10 on Rhythmic... Top 20 on Urban... # 1 for 5 weeks on Pop... # 4 for the year in Top 20 points.

How You Remind Me- Nickelback

The last Rock song to top the Hot 100 (4 weeks)... # 1 for 8 weeks on Pop (# 1 for the year in 2002)... # 1 on all three rock formats for at least 9 weeks each... # 2 for the year in Top 20 points.

I'm Real- Jennifer Lopez f/ Ja Rule

Big Rhymtic/Urban crossover... Spent 10 weeks at # 1 on Rhythmic and 3 weeks at # 1 on Urban... Topped the Hot 100 for 5 weeks... # 1 for 3 weeks on Pop... # 3 for the year in Top 20 points.

It's Been Awhile- Staind

Spent an astonishing 47 weeks at # 1 on the three rock formats (16 on Alternative, 20 on Rock, 11 on Active Rock)... Top 10 on Hot AC... Hit # 4 on Pop... # 16 for the year in Top 20 points.

Lady Marmalade- Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya & Pink

Longest running # 1 of 2001 on Pop (9 weeks)... Topped the Hot 100 for 5 weeks... # 1 on Rhythmic for 2 weeks... # 9 for the year in Top 20 points.

"all for you" should have been on the list over "Hit 'Em Up Style." It didnt even hit #1 on the hot 100.

And also "all for u" broke some sort of record for that year. This poll is Bull ****. "all For you" was a much bigger single than 90% of those songs if not the biggest.

I tried to pick the 8 songs that would gather votes, not nescesirly the 8 biggest songs (although the list is probably the same). I picked "Hit 'Em Up Style" over "All For You" because it did a little better on Pop (5 weeks at # 1 to 3 weeks). But again, you can post a vote for "All For You" if you want, that's fine.

Agreed! It was #3 for the year on the Billboard Singles charts.

It was released late outside of Alternative that year and was #1 for 2002 on the Hot 100. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

I kind of split the year into 2 parts: the first dominated by rock songs like "Drive", "It's Been Awhile" and "Hangin' By A Moment, and the last half dominated by soul songs like "Fallin'", "Hit 'em Upstyle", "You Remind Me", "Peaches & Cream", and "Family Affair". "Fallin'" ends up winning. "How You Remind Me" came late in the year, but was heard often throughout the next year, and over the 2-year period might get my vote for top song.

None of the others are even close. I still enjoy the fact that they did hit #1 on the AC Top 40 (it didn't become 50 until March 2002) for 3 weeks while being denied on both R&R & Billboard. ;)

"how you remind me" is up there, too.

Don't forget, "Hanging By A Moment" was also the #1 single of the year on the Hot 100 despite peaking at #2. Didn't "How You Remind Me" spend at least 10 weeks at #1 on all 3 Rock Formats?
