Did My Time
"Did My Time" is a song written and recorded by American nu metal band Korn for the film, '' Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life''. It was released as a single in July 2003 in support of the film, and was later featured on the band's sixth studio album, ''Take a Look in the Mirror''. Music and structure The song was based around an unfinished idea from the era of 2002's '' Untouchables''. James "Munky" Shaffer had written the main riff and played it frequently during the sessions, but producer Michael Beinhorn did not see potential in it. In early 2003, Korn completed the whole song, and caught the attention of Paramount Pictures who wanted to use it in the film ''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life''. However, the song was only released as a single for the film, and featured during the end credits. It did not appear on the motion picture soundtrack, due to certain clauses in Jonathan Davis's record contract at the time, the same reason why Davis could not release the ...

Canadian Singles Chart
The Canadian Singles Chart was a chart compiled by the American-based music sales tracking company, Nielsen SoundScan, which began publication in November 1996. It was published every Wednesday and also published on Thursday by '' Jam!''/Canoe. It was superseded by the '' Billboard''-published Canadian Hot 100 in 2007. History In the 1960s, the Canadian music industry was disparate and regionally focused, and English-speaking Canadian artists were often overlooked in favour of American acts. To encourage a more national focus and ensure that domestic artists were promoted across Canada, the Maple Leaf System (MLS) was set up in 1969. The MLS produced its own national singles chart, which '' Billboard'' magazine reproduced as Canada's entry in its weekly Hits of the World section. The MLS struggled to achieve widespread support in Canada, however, particularly as participating radio stations failed to give the nominated Canadian records the requisite national airplay.
