Jump5 released their [[Jump5 (album)|self-titled debut album]] on August 14, 2001. The album was re-released twice, first with an additional bonus track, then with a cover of [[Lee Greenwood]]'s "[[God Bless the USA]]" after the [[September 11th attacks]]. Over the following two years they released three more albums: ''[[All the Time in the World (Jump5 album)|All the Time in the World]]'', a Christmas album, ''[[All the Joy in the World]]'', and ''[[Accelerate (Jump5 album)|Accelerate]]''.

=== Jump5 is formed (1999-2000) ===
Siblings Brandon and [[Brittany Hargest]] had competed on the same dance team as [[Lesley Moore]], and were familiar with [[Chris Fedun]] and [[Libby Hodges]] through the competitive dance circuit. The mother of Hodges held an open casting call to find additional members to form a new pop group with her daughter, and the Hargest siblings along with Fedun and Moore were selected. The group was originally known as Jump Start, but the name was changed to Jump5 due to trademark conflicts. Norman Miller, the group's would-be manager, went to see the group perform and immediately referred them to [[Sparrow Records]]. Jump5 became the only teen act signed to the label to date.

In January 2004, Hodges decided to leave the group as she wanted to "take a deep breath and see what exactly God wants me to do at this point in my life".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/libby-leaves-jump5-4658/|title=Libby Leaves Jump5|date=January 9, 2004 |access-date=August 30, 2016}}</ref> In April, the group released the remix album ''[[Mix It Up]]''.
