Satellite

In 2001, on the same day as the September 11, 2001 attacks, P.O.D. released the video for their fourth studio album, Satellite. The album's first single, "Alive," already a rock radio hit, went on to become one of MTV's and MTV2's #1 played video of the year. The video's popularity, as well as the song's positive messages to be grateful for life, helped the song become a huge pop radio hit.

The album's second single, "Youth of the Nation," was influenced in part by the school shootings at Santana High School, Columbine High School and Granite Hills High School. The 2002 singles "Boom" and "Satellite" also became very popular. Also, the concluding track of the album, "Portrait" received a number of awards including a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance in 2002. The album went on to become RIAA-certified triple platinum.
