Ten years is a long time. Need proof? How about the fact that in 2003, people were listening to -- and enjoying -- songs by Lumidee and Wayne Wonder that not only sounded exactly the same, but were also horrible. Fortunately the rest of the year's offerings were more acceptable and lasting. To wit: "Crazy In Love" and "In Da Club" would rank as the best singles released in 2013 -- apologies to Daft Punk, Robin Thicke, Bruno Mars and the rest of this year's artists reaching into the 1970s to find the next great pop hit.
Ahead, the 32 songs you loved in 2003.
1. Beyonce, "Crazy in Love"
2. The Black Eyed Peas, "Where Is The Love?"
3. Fountains of Wayne, "Stacy's Mom"
4. Fall Out Boy, "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy"
