June 23, 2024: 3pm ET: Feature LP: Bruce Springsteen – The Rising (2002)

The Rising is the twelfth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on July 30, 2002, on Columbia Records. The album is based in large part on Springsteen’s reflections in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks the year before. The album was a critical and commercial success, representing Springsteen’s first album to top the US Billboard 200 since Tunnel of Love in 1987.

Hailed as a triumphant return to form for Springsteen, the album won two Grammy Awards and marked the start of a successful collaboration with producer Brendan O’Brien. The Rising came seven years after The Ghost of Tom Joad (1995), the longest interlude between studio albums for the artist, and was his first in almost two decades with the E Street Band, with whom he had recently completed a highly successful reunion tour.

Thursday, May 23, 2024: 2pm ET: Feature LP: Shania Twain – Up! (2002) Green Disc

Up! is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was released on November 19, 2002, by Mercury Nashville. Three versions of the album were released: a pop version (red disc), a country version (green disc), and a version in the style of Indian film music (blue disc). The album was heavily hyped by the media due to it being Twain’s follow-up to her high-selling 1997 studio album Come On Over.

The album became a commercial success, albeit less successful than Come On Over. Up! gave Twain her best first week sales in the United States, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart with 874,000 copies sold first week. It later became the best-selling country album of 2003 in the US and third overall among all genres. Internationally, Up! was a commercial success, entering the top ten in almost all the markets it entered and topped the charts in Australia, Twain’s native Canada, Germany, New Zealand, and the UK country charts. On September 23, 2004, the RIAA certified Up! at eleven-times platinum, giving her the distinction of being the only female artist to have three consecutive diamond albums released in the United States.

Eight singles were released from the album, albeit in different chronological order. “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” was released on October 7, 2002 with hype surrounding its release. The song became a record-breaker, peaking at number seven and four on US country and the UK and topping the charts in Canada and Romania. “Up!”, the title track, was released as the second single in the US and Australia and as a double a-side single with “When You Kiss Me” in the UK (being the final single over there) and the final single in Europe. Albeit less successful than other singles, it still entered the top five in Canada and Hungary and also peaked at number twelve on the US country charts. “Ka-Ching!” was exclusively released in Europe, becoming a massive commercial success over there; it topped the charts in Portugal and reached the top ten in six other countries. “Forever and for Always” was the album’s most successful single in the US, peaking at number four on the country charts and at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as entering the top ten in six countries. Like Ka-Ching!, “Thank You Baby! (For Makin’ Someday Come So Soon)” was only released in Europe, entering the top ten in Scotland. “She’s Not Just a Pretty Face” peaked within the top ten on the US country charts and was a top-forty hit in Romania. “When You Kiss Me”, as a standalone single, only entered the top ten in Portugal. The album’s last single “It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing” was a minor top-twenty US country and adult contemporary hit.

Wednesday, May 22, 2024: 4pm ET: Feature LP: Rush – Vapor Trails (2002)

Vapor Trails is the seventeenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. It was released on May 14, 2002, on Anthem Records, and was their first studio release since Test for Echo (1996), the longest gap between two Rush albums. After the Test For Echo tour finished in July 1997, drummer and lyricist Neil Peart suffered the loss of his daughter and then his wife in separate tragedies. As a result, the group entered an extended hiatus during which it was not certain they would continue. They eventually reunited in January 2001 to rehearse material for a new album, recording for which lasted until December. For the first and only time since Caress of Steel (1975), the group did not use any keyboards or synthesizers in their music, incorporating many layers of guitar, bass and drums instead.

No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Simple Plan, released March 19, 2002. Formed by members of Reset, Simple Plan spent over a year recording their first album with producer Arnold Lanni. It is a pop-punk record that revolves around being an outcast, drawing comparisons to Blink-182, Good Charlotte and New Found Glory. After signing with major label Atlantic Records, “I’m Just a Kid” was released as a single in February 2002, with No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls following on March 19. It received a mixed reaction from music critics, with some commenting on the lack of originality and others praising the production.

They promoted it with supporting slots for Sugar Ray, Blink-182, Green Day and short stint on Warped Tour. Between support slots for Good Charlotte and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, “I’d Do Anything” was released as a single. Preceded by the single release of “Addicted”, the band supported Avril Lavigne, before appearing on Warped Tour again. Their fourth and final single “Perfect” was followed by radio festivals and a co-headlining tour with MxPx in early 2004.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), or simply Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the “King of Rock and Roll”, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy.

Elvis: 30 #1 Hits is a greatest hits collection of songs by American rock and roll singer Elvis Presley. It was released by RCA Records on September 24, 2002. It is the first Elvis Presley album to feature the remix of “A Little Less Conversation” by JXL that was released earlier in the year and reached No. 1 in the UK and Australia.

When released, Elvis: 30 #1 Hits was an instant success, going straight to the top of the albums charts in several countries and shipping mass quantities around the world. A companion album, 2nd to None, was released the next year. By 2003, the album had received certifications in more than 15 regions and had sold millions of copies worldwide. Its most recent certification, a 6× Platinum award, for US sales in excess of six million copies, was announced by the RIAA on March 8, 2018.

Monday 4pm: MaxMusic 21st Century – 2002 (Part 4)

January – The Glenn Beck Program launched on 47 stations on Premiere Radio Networks.
January 21 – A train derailment in Minot, North Dakota kills one person and knocks out power throughout the region, spilling 250,000 gallons of toxic anhydrous ammonia for fertilizer purposes. The designated primary station for the EAS in Minot, Clear Channel-owned KCJB 910-AM, fails to air any disaster information. The EAS had to be activated by local law enforcement; Minot police were unable to do so, and KCJB couldn’t due to being all-automated in the overnight hours. The incident gradually attracts controversy, as well as attacks on Clear Channel from future Minnesota senator Al Franken.
March 11 – BBC 6 Music, the first new BBC music radio station in decades, is launched.
May 29 – After 2 years with rhythmic oldies, KBTB/Seattle begins stunting on this day as “Quick 96.” 2 days later, KBTB flips back to classic hits as KJR-FM.
July 8 – KHBZ-FM in Oklahoma City shifts to Alternative Rock.
November 4 – After 36 years in the country format, KIKK-FM/Houston flipped to smooth jazz as KHJZ, “95.7 The Wave.”
December 2 – radio2XS launches onLine from Sheffield

“Dawson McKay & The Get Up Gang” becomes “The Get Up Gang with Dawson, Wendy, and Levi” as Dawson moves from KASH 107.5 in Anchorage, Alaska to Albuquerque New Mexico’s 92.3 KRST.

KDWN in Las Vegas, Nevada fires Doug Basham, despite receiving the highest ratings of any other host on the station including nationally syndicated ones, allegedly for spending “too much time bashing the president.”

CBS Radio fires Opie and Anthony of The Opie and Anthony Show from WNEW-FM, following the backlash of their Sex for Sam 3 promotion in New York City, NY.
