Data Insight

Significant Other keeps the band's authorship convention intact, with Fred Durst writing the lyrics and the music credited to Borland, Rivers, Otto, Lethal and Durst. Terry Date produced the record with the band, and DJ Premier contributed production, broadening the album's hip-hop reach. The guest list is notably deep: Method Man appears on 'N 2 Gether Now,' Jonathan Davis and Scott Weiland feature on 'Nobody Like You,' Aaron Lewis appears on 'No Sex,' and Les Claypool turns up on a hidden track. Lead single 'Nookie' and the live staple 'Break Stuff' pushed the album to number one on the Billboard 200.

Significant Other is Limp Bizkit's second studio album, released June 22, 1999 on Flip/Interscope. Produced primarily by Terry Date, it broke the band into mainstream success with singles 'Nookie' and 'Break Stuff,' debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and eventually going six-times platinum in the United States.
