2003 was the year where everyone was changing direction. Jewel went to dance-pop after a folk-pop debut, Gloria Estefan also went to dance-pop after a latin fire arrival, Madonna went away from dance and strayed into an acoustic sound with "American Life", and the Indie/Grunge queen of the 90s Liz Phair turned mainstream for the first time. However, all of these changes in sound were met with the cold shoulder, so instead the radios were still dominated by the solo arrival of Beyonce, the new songs of Matchbox Twenty and 3 Doors Down, 50 Cent and Ludacris continued to offer plenty to the clubs, and Evanescence brought emo-rock to the mainstream for the first time in a long while. Complete with their peak positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard year-end charts, here are the best songs that 2003 had to offer:
