The Dave Matthews Band hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart with their fifth studio release “Busted Stuff” on July 28, 2002. The album pulled together tracks that had initially leaked as part of the band’s aborted recording session with producer Steve Lillywhite.
According to Matthews, the sessions were axed because his songwriting had taken a dark turn as a result of increasing alcoholism:
"[The songs] inspired pity, self pity, or pity for the sad bastard that wrote them. I felt like I was in the process of failing, in the process of letting everyone down. In the process of not supplying the band with songs, not giving the producer the music, not giving the record company tunes—so inside that environment, I was continuing to do just that, come up with these sad bastard songs,” Matthews told Rolling Stone of the sessions.
A bootleg of those sessions, called “The Lillywhite Sessions,” soon gained popularity on the street. The band then decided to rework nine of the eleven tracks from that session for an album. They added to newly written tracks to the session titled "Where Are You Going" and "You Never Know.”
“Busted Stuff” took over number one from “Nellyville” by Nelly. It held on for a week, before being replaced by Toby Keith’s “Unleashed.”

“The age-old question from most people is, Will it sound like Rocks? C’mon folks, I think that is an unfair question, but what I will say is that this will sound like vintage Aerosmith,” John B. wrote. “Joey’s playing with the precision of an ‘Omega Speedmaster Professional’ and gets as funky as Clyde Stubblefield on his best days. Go ahead and say ‘yeah that’s what he gets paid to say’ but I am telling you this stuff is going to blow you guys away, for shizzle.”
