The album did fairly well on the Billboard charts, peaking at number 35 on the Billboard 200, number 19 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 3 on the Top Soundtracks chart, and spawning two hit singles, "#1" by Nelly and "Put It on Me" by Dr. Dre, DJ Quik and Mimi. "The Squeeze" was originally released as a 12" single, but was quickly pulled off shelves because of sample clearance issue. The single also has a special back cover, which says in big white letters, "In Stores September 11, 2001".
