February

Hitting the Russian charts 3 years earlier, female duo Tatu released their debut single, "All The Things She Said" in the UK and it topped the charts for a total of 4 weeks, taking all of February with it. The accompanying video ostensibly depicted the girls imprisoned but concluded by revealing that it was the audience who was imprisoned; it stirred controversy with its images of the two girls kissing.

March

Returning to the top of the UK charts for the 4th time, US superstar, Christina Aguilera hit the top with a second release from her second album, Stripped. "Beautiful" contrasted with the upbeat and raunchy "Dirrty", as "Beautiful" was a love ballad that seemed to be very personal to Christina. She received praise from GLAAD because of the positive presentation of homosexual people in the video to the song. The BBC missed the point of the video and heavily edited it for showing on Top of the pops. Interestingly enough, despite the fact that Britney has received 1 more chart topper than Christina, as of January 2005, Christina has spent more weeks on top of the UK charts than Britney, with "Beautiful" adding another 2 to that list. With the official comic relief song of the year, Gareth Gates returned to the top of the UK charts for a 4th and final time with a cover of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky".

Returning to the top for a week was Justin Timberlake and his debut album, Justified. By this time, he had released a follow up single to "Like I Love You" from the album. "Cry Me A River", also peaked at #2 and was an emotional ballad creating controversy because many thought the song was about Britney, seeing as there was a Britney look-alike in the video. Taking the top of the albums chart for the following 4 weeks was jazz singer, Norah Jones with her debut album, Come Away With Me.

This was their 3rd consecutive Top 3 hit, following their debut single, "That's What I Go To School For" which made #3 in September 2002 and their second single, "Year 3000" which hit #2 in January of this year. "You Said No" was a slightly more lyrics focused compared to their previous 2 singles which had been more tune based. Criticised for making a mockery of rock bands in the new millennium, Busted quickly gained a huge fanbase with young audiences. Taking over after 7 days was German producer, Thomas Bruckner, re-named Tomcraft for his one and only UK single, "Loneliness". It became the second of 9 to spend only a week at the top during the whole of 2003. This was a very good sign for the popularity of singles, however sales were at their all-time low.

The latter was taken from the soundtrack to the James Bond film of the same name, which itself was also a success. Returning to the top yet again was Justin Timberlake and his debut album, Justified, but its stay was only for a week. By this time it had spawned a 3rd #2 single, "Rock Your Body", which saw Justin turn towards dance music and show off his moves in the video. Despite the fact that Blur scored a 5th #1 album with their latest release, Think Tank, Justified was not kept from the top for long, returning to the top after a week, for what became its longest consecutive run at the top, ending at 3 weeks.

After making an appearance in the third Austin Powers movie, Goldmember, Beyonce put herself back in the public eye and then released her debut solo single from the movie, "Work It Out" which managed to make #7 on the UK singles chart. Her debut album, Dangerously In Love topped the charts a week before she received her first #1 single, and they both continued runs at the top simultaneously for 3 weeks when her second single was knocked off the top spot. "Crazy In Love" was an upbeat pop ballad, but was not as dance emphasised as "Work It Out". It featured the rapper Jay-Z who was already a very successful artist and whose career began 6 years ago in 1997. Neither artist was able to hit the top of the singles chart again.

Hitting the top of the UK charts for the third time with his 5th single was Daniel Bedingfield with another love ballad, "Never Gonna Leave Your Side" which he said was a twin of his previous chart topper, "If You're Not The One", being about the same girl. Not only was the theme similar, but so was the chart performance, only spending a week at the summit. Urban/R&B songstress, Blu Cantrell was next to top the charts with a single from her second album, Bittersweet.

With an original fusion of modern rock and country/folk, English rock band The Coral scored their 1st #1 album with their second release, Magic And Medicine. The album spawned 3 hit singles, one of which hit the top 5, becoming their highest peaking single ever. However, it only took a week before Robbie Williams hit the top of the charts again when Escapology returned to the top of the charts after its 6 week stay over the Christmas season of 2002. It contained the hits, "Feel", "Come Undone", "Something Beautiful" and "Sexed Up". Taking over after a week for a 2 week run was Eva Cassidy with her 3rd UK #1 album, American Tune. She became the second female solo artist to have 3 consecutive UK #1 albums, after Madonna achieved this in 2000, however it could be said that Eva holds this record solo, because one of Madonna's albums was the soundtrack to Evita which featured other vocalists as well as her, whereas Cassidy holds the full credit for all three of her albums. Even more amazingly, Cassidy started this run of consecutive #1 albums after passing away, so the entire record is posthumous.

They were a 4 piece rap act from Los Angeles, California and scored a 6 week run at the top with this single, becoming the biggest selling single of the year (however, failing to sell a million copies, becoming the first year to not have a million selling single since 1993) and also the longest stay at the top of the UK charts since Cher's "Believe" in 1998. The song, "Where Is The Love?" featured an unaccredited Justin Timberlake's vocals on the chorus and was about society and the corruption that had engulfed it and that people should begin to spread love to bring the world to a better state. 1971 (MCMLXXI) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1971 calendar). ...

It spent 2 weeks at #1 and became the second #1 of the year to hit the top many years after being made, with the first being T.a.t.u. and "All the Things She Said". A much more sultry, moody track compared to her more dance based 21st century singles saw Kylie Minogue hit the top for a 7th time. She was praised all over for trying a different style and making it just as good as her other music, however it did join record with Iron Maiden's "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" in becoming the lowest selling number one single of all time. Hitting the top for the second time were pop trio, Busted with their 5th chart hit, "Crashed The Wedding". Taking a different stance to their other singles, it still only managed one week at the summit. Hitting the top for a record 12th time were boyband Westlife with their remake of the Barry Manilow #11 hit from 1975, "Mandy".

With a collection of their best tracks such as "Everybody Hurts", "Imitation Of Life", "Losing My Religion" & "The Great Beyond", R.E.M. were back at the top with In Time - The Best Of R.E.M. - 1988-2003. The track choices created some controversy with fans arguing that "Shiny Happy People", a classic from 1991 should not have been left off, however R.E.M. themselves dislike that track and the way they were back then and therefore left it off. Failing to top the singles chart all year were boyband Blue who scored a 3rd consecutive UK #1 album with their new release Guilty. It had already spawned one hit, "Guilty" and would create more including "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" a collaboration with Stevie Wonder on one of his old tracks, "Breathe Easy" and "Bubblin'". They split at the end of 2004 releasing a Greatest Hits compilation promoting it with a new track "Curtain Falls". Returning to number one for the first time was Dido with Life For Rent.

December

After a break of a year, Pop Idol, Will Young returned to the top of the UK charts for the 4th time with his new single "Leave Right Now". It was taken from his new album, Friday's Child, which later topped the charts. He now had as many chart toppers as Gareth Gates and as of January 2005, they are still level, however it is likely Will Young will overtake Gareth in the future. Taking over after 2 weeks was a duet from Ozzy Osbourne and his daughter Kelly with "Changes". Tipped to be the Christmas #1, Kelly was experiencing great success as a solo artist and also the song gave Ozzy his first #1 after 33 years of chart activity since he first started with Black Sabbath. It was also the first father/daughter chart topper since Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra topped the charts with "Somethin' Stupid" in 1967. However, in Christmas week the most unexpected thing happened. Taken from the soundtrack to the new film Donnie Darko, Michael Andrews & Gary Jules scored a chart topper with "Mad World". It was a remake of the "Tears For Fears" #3 hit from 1982 and topped the UK charts for 3 weeks becoming the fastest selling single of the year (not the largest though) and took the Christmas number one spot along with it.

With their 5th album, Turnaround gave Westlife their 4th #1 album. It contained the chart topping "Mandy" and the #3 hit from the following year, "Obvious". The following year Bryan McFadden split from the group, but they continued as a foursome releasing Allow Us To Be Frank with a cover of old big band classics. As of January 2005 they have not charted with a single since March 2004. Topping the charts with his second album was Will Young and Friday's Child. It contained the chart topping "Leave Right Now". However, the Christmas number one album was to be taken from a very special lady who had become probably the most successful female solo artist in the 21st century on the albums chart. Dido returned to the top for a further 3 weeks with Life For Rent. It has sold in excess of 2.2 million copies. Brian McFadden is an Irish singer. ...
