2003's Most Popular Song Hits
|
|
1. 1. Crazy In Love - Beyonce Featuring Jay-Z -
As the lead single in Beyonce's debt solo album Dangerously
in Love. The horn hook comes from a 1970s song "Are You
My Woman (Tell me So)" by the Chi-Lites. Rich Harrison
wrote the song which was originally titled "Crazy Right
Now", but Harrison was waiting for the right artist to
come along. Jay-Z (current husband to Beyonce) added a rap
verse later in the production with lyrics that he did off
the top of his head.
2. Hey Ya! - OutKast - Written and produced by Andre
3000, member of the duo Outkast, Hey Ya! is musically influenced
by funk and rock genres, which was a neat mix-up for the hip
hop pair. Andre had envisioned the song for months and finally
brought the pieces together, improvising some lyrics from
a screenplay he had been working on. This catchy song includes
the unforgettable lyrics "shake it like a Polaroid picture".
3. Get Low - Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz Featuring
Ying Yang Twins - This song allegedly kicked off the sub genre
"crunk" (crazy + drunk), setting the bar pretty
high in profane hooks and choruses. This song, even the edited
radio version, got criticized numerous times for the immense
amounts of curse words and sexual/raunchy content, but the
beat is undeniable.
4. Stacy's Mom - Fountains Of Wayne - Written by Chris
Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger as a tribute to the band
The Cars. The content of the lyrics are undeniably unique
with the catch line "Stacy's mom has got it going on".
This song is also ranked #350 in Blender's list of 500 Greatest
Songs Since You Were Born.
5. Step In The Name Of Love - R Kelly - This is the
10th single from R. Kelly and took over the R&B charts.
This song has also be dubbed the anthem for steppers and dancers,
who would have thought?
