Counting down the Top 25 roots singles of 2001, according to Chant Down Babylon.  Strictly 7" format... not strictly from yard, but still 25 out of 25!  Please note that no riddim was duplicated, meaning that some brilliant songs have missed out on a place, simply because there was an even better song also on the riddim.  This made for some tough choices, and tunes picked were usually those that struck a personal chord, or had big impact in the dance with Chant Down sound.
