Its funny how time flies when you are having fun. These five songs were some of the biggest songs of 2003 and made their performing artistes worldwide superstars. Add any more if you can remember

“In Da Club” by 50 Cent

Curtis Jackson went from underground hustler to overnight superstar with the release of this song. It was released under Shady/Aftermath Records and produced by the great Dr. Dre who put together a unforgettable beat that 50 Cent blazed mercilessly over. I remember the song made to want to be in a Club.

“Hey ya” by Andre 300

The other half of Atlanta rap duo Outkast released this single as part of the double album shared by him and partner Big boi “Speakerbox/The love below”. Though he was already a star the song was a rip roaring hit. A mishmash of funk,hip-hop and rock that is probably one of the most unique songs ever performed by a hip-hop artiste.

“Where is the love” by Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas had also been around for a while like and had scored a couple of notable tracks like “Request line” in which they featured Macy Gray. “Where is the love” which featured the vocals of a newly solo Justin Timberlake brought them into the mainstream limelight and the rest is history. I even heard a sermon in church where the preacher started with “Where is the love my people?”

“Clocks” by Coldplay

This song featured a fantastic piano riff that has been rehashed and copied by many. The song is still probably the band’s best known song.

"Rock your body" by Justin Timberlake

This Michael Jackson type song produced by the Neptunes was Justin Timberlake’s launch pad to a hugely successfully career. The song was reportedly originally written for MJ. Justin must be thanking his stars that he got to perform it instead of the King of Pop
