Satellite

Satellite is the fourth studio album by Christian nu metal band P.O.D. It was released by Atlantic Records on September 11, 2001. It was the band's last album with guitarist Marcos Curiel until When Angels and Serpents Dance (2008). According to drummer and backing vocalist Wuv Bernardo, the album is more mature than the band's previous work, and has a unique sound, combining heavy metal with elements of hip-hop and reggae. This, along with the Christian lyrics, made it stand out from other nu metal albums, many of which had themes of misery, pain and sadness. Satellite debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart with over 133,000 copies sold. It spent five consecutive weeks in the top 10 of that chart, and went on to sell over three million copies in the U.S., and over seven million worldwide, making it the band's highest-selling album, and was placed at No. 137 on the Billboard's top 200 albums of the decade (2000–2009). It was the 117th best-selling album of 2001, and the 26th best-selling album of 2002 in the United States.
