Here are Billboard staff picks for the 100 greatest songs of 2003. 🎶
With the pop music of the ’00s really finding its footing in 2002, the year 2003 was about a new class of superstars. Sure, some of the biggest names of the late ’90s were still around: The biggest name of theera was getting back in the zone after a small commercial downturn, while the MC who’d just ascended to greatest rapper alive status was already planning his fade to black.
But 2003 was first and foremost about the new sensations: particularly a pair who’d just spun off from best-selling turn of the century acts, and would define solo pop superstardom for the rest of the decade. Justin Timberlake’sfrom late the year before continued to live up to its title, earning its hype by spinning off bigger and bigger hits well into 2003.
And solo superstardom was hardly the sole province of the top 40 world. The year was bookended by the emergence of two rappers — 50 Cent early and Kanye West late — whose simultaneous rise would grow into hip-hop’s most fascinating rivalry and binary. While still recording under the OutKast umbrella, the duo of Big Boi and Andre 3000 also splintered into solo ventures, with chart-topping, culture-changing results.
But that’s not to say that no one was finding strength in numbers. The rock world, still dominated by nu-metal, emo and pop-punk, continued to be band-oriented — one or two even with frontwomen, a far-too-rare occurrence in early-’00s modern rock.
