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. 1 DAMIEN MARLEY - More Justice (Ghetto Youths) 2 CAPLETON - Time (Lion and Roots) 3 JR KELLY - Push E Fire (Trenchtown) 4 BERES HAMMOND - Rock Away (Harmony House) 5 JAH MASON - Now and Forever (Treasure Chest) 6 VC - By His Deeds (Dig Dis) 7 BERES HAMMOND - La La La (Safire) 8 JAH CURE - Western Region (Harmony House) 9 ANTHONY B - Stop Curfew (Reggae Central) 10 HALF PINT - Can't Control Me (Mr Luxury) 11 CHRISINTI - Say Jah (Calibud) 12 TONY REBEL & MARCIA GRIFFITHS - Forever Loving Jah (Penthouse) 13 LUCIANO - Gideon (Black Scorpio) 14 BUSHMAN - Bush Doctor (Jam Pac) 15 JUNIOR KELLY - Word Power (Love Promotion) 16 UTON GREEN - Most Wanted (Nuclear) 17 YAMI BOLO - Babylon Burning (321 Strong) 18 GEORGE NOOKS - Face of an Angel (Gurr) 19 CAPLETON - I&I Chant (African Star) 20 BURRU BANTON - Settle Yourself (Massive B) 21 SIZZLA - Taking Over (Xterminator) 22 LUCIANO - Land Out Yonder (Kings of Kings) 23 RICHIE STEPHENS & BOUNTY KILLER - Outcry (Pot of Gold) 24 CAPLETON & LITTLE CAPES - What You Gonna Do?
