Just Push Play by Aerosmith

Just Push Play, Aerosmith's 13th studio album, landed on March 5, 2001, and it finds the Boston lifers chasing the new millennium with both hands. Steven Tyler shared the production with Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson, who also helped write the songs, and with Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer all aboard, the old blues-rock swagger gets buffed to a high pop gloss.

"Jaded" did the damage, cracking the American top 10 and charting across the globe, and the album opened at number two on the Billboard 200 with more than 240,000 copies gone in its first week, going platinum inside a month. The later singles had a tougher time of it: "Fly Away from Here" found a home on adult pop radio, while "Sunshine" and the title track made the rock charts without ever troubling the Hot 100.
