The Story of 2003
The story of 2003, a year of wall-to-wall bangers where nobody was sticking to the rules. With contributions from artists including Matt Willis, Justin Hawkins, Panjabi MC and Peter Doherty.
2003 was a year of wall-to-wall bangers, where nobody was sticking to the rules. Pop was punky with Busted breaking the mould, Bhangra was funky as Panjabi MC launched a monster hit with Mundian To Bach Ke, and Girls Aloud who romped to victory as the clear favourites on ITV's Popstars: The Rivals.
As the world’s biggest music show was relaunched into an all-new era, Chris Cowey bowed out after 6 years at the helm and Andi Peters returned to the BBC as Top of the Pops head honcho, bringing a new theme, new graphics and a new presenter in Tim Kash. Exclusive performances and future hits were key to the all-new TOTP, and an extended show was launched on the new BBC Three with added spice.
Contributors include Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson of Busted, Panjabi MC, Sabrina Washington of Mis-Teeq, Carl Barat and Peter Doherty of The Libertines, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud and Dick Valentine of Electric Six.
