Robbie Williams went big-band for Swing When You're Winning, and 2001 followed suit toward polish and nostalgia. Dido's No Angel, Travis's The Invisible Band and Kylie's Fever showed the era's glossy pop-rock spread, while Now That's What I Call Music! Volume 50 marked the compilation's half-century. The genuine curiosities are the catalogue and crossover entries: the O Brother, Where Art Thou? bluegrass soundtrack and Pink Floyd's best-of Echoes both charting high, plus Alicia Keys' debut Songs in a Minor announcing a new soul voice. The Strokes' Is This It? hinted at the guitar revival to come. It was a year balanced between Sunday-roast familiarity and the first stirrings of something rawer.
