3. "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" gained cult status after featuring in a pivotal scene in the TV series Twin Peaks, enhancing its surreal aura.

4. Muse successfully sued Nescafé for using "Feeling Good" in an ad. Their legal victory redirected funds to Oxfam.

8. Matthew Santos's chorus in "Superstar" was compared to Chris Martin's style, adding a melodic contrast to Fiasco's verses.

9. Blazin' Squad's last top 10 UK hit was "Here 4 One." The group's urban ensemble defined early 2000s UK hip-hop.
