After its slow drift off of MTV's schedule, 120 Minutes moved to MTV2 as part of that channel's relaunch on January 1, 2001, where it was reimagined for a new indie scene. However, MTV2 did not promote it and most people had no idea the show still existed at the time, so the playlists for the first several months of 2001 were never found. The records pick up again here.
