Jump5 (album)
Jump5 is the self-titled debut album from Christian pop group of the same name. It was released on August 14, 2001 through Sparrow Records. Two re-releases followed: the first featured the "Start Jumpin'" bonus track targeted towards Christian audiences, while the second featured a Radio Disney-targeted version of "Start Jumpin'" with different lyrics plus a cover of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." to remember the lives lost after the September 11 attacks. A portion of sales from the second re-release was donated to families who lost a loved one during the attacks on September 11, 2001.
