I Love #1's - 2003

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week you lovely Poptimist types decided that Return To Sender was the best #1 hit of 1962, with 25 ticks. But burger-munching jumpsuit wearer Elvis also fared least well, Good Luck Charm and She's Not You claiming only 3 ticks each. This week catapults us right into the booty-shaking, lesbian-filled pop-idle current decade: it's 2003!

That Will Young is as good a pop ballad as we have ever had, I think.

never got the extent of love for 'leave right now'.

didn't like 'Ignition (Remix)' or 'Bring Me To Life' at all at first but ILM converted me to both.

Blu & Sean was one of those songs which sold itself as generic and low-key r&b bobbins and then six months on you realise it = 1x MONSTER.

Blu & Sean / Elton

I ticked 'Breathe' but for the life of me I can't remember how it goes today.

Surprised by your hate for this Elton track, Lex. (I can see why you might dislike a lot of his other stuff, but this one is 1x poptastic disco classic.)

didn't Blu & Sean use the same sample as one of the better songs from DRE's 2001? (called "What's The Difference?" I think)

2003 was the year that going to a club = dancing to Sean Paul, so it gets a tick anyway.
