AllMusic Loves 2003
Aug. 13, 2009
Once again, we take a short break from covering current releases by looking back at a year from this nearly-complete decade and compiling lists of our personal favorites. With 2000-2002 in the past, we turn to 2003, a year that provided the decade with some of its funnest (and/or funniest) and most memorable (for better or worse) singles. Kelis' sexy and silly "Milkshake," OutKast's irresistibly peppy "Hey Ya!," the Darkness' unapologetically over-the-top "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," and 50 Cent's unapologetically simple-minded "In da Club" -- featuring a total of three three-syllable words, all proper nouns -- represent just a handful of them. Hundreds of albums and songs are highlighted, and while it is doubtful that 20 years of perspective will make 2003 seem much different from 2002 or 2004, at least in terms of recordings, there is no doubt that there was plenty to like and even love.
