ONTD Original: 2003, A year of one hit wonders
Follow up to 2001: One hit wonders
Just 13 years ago, artists like Lumidee, t.A.T.u, and Stacie Orrico were topping the charts. Many of the artists who created their major 2003 hits were never able to replicate the success. However, their songs remain playable and always take us back in time. Let's take a look at some of the best one hit wonders of 2003!
t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said
t.A.T.u. had a huge international hit with their 2003 debut single, “All The Things She Said,” which was no doubt driven by the alleged sexual relationship between the group’s two singers. The song reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite an at-the-time iconic MTV VMA performance, the duo never saw the same mainstream success again.
Amanda Perez - Angel
Amanda delivered us this iconic JAM that slayed careers at the time. The song reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the success of the song, Amanda Perez was barely heard of again in mainstream music. Although she continued to work on music, nothing caught on like "Angel."
Trapt - Headstrong
This was the song heard at Hot Topics worldwide. Even if you weren't into this type of music, this song was still stuck in your head. The song reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. And no1curred since.
Norah Jones - Don't Know Why
This may come as a shock to some, but Norah is technically a one hit wonder. Norah was not the original artist to record this song, although her success with “Don’t Know Why” propelled her into the public eye and helped her album (“Come Away with Me”) become a huge hit. “Don’t Know Why” went on to win three Grammy awards. Her success has left her with a cult following but her none of her single's have topped DKW's No. 30 chart peak.
Thalia - I Want You
Thalia tried to come for J.Lo. Thalia had the voice and help from Fat Joe, with the song peaking at No. 22 on The Billboard Hot 100. Although she is a one-hit-wonder in American pop, Thalia has had a successful Latin pop career.
Lumidee - Never Leave (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)
Middle school me was grinding for my life to this song at all the school dances. This was THAT BEAT, it was iconic and Lumidee has never seen the same success since, although she's constantly trying. This iconic bop peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go
Biiiiiiiiiitch yes! This song never gets old. It peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 but Wayne is still only known for this bop by most people.
Liz Phair - Why Can't I?
"Why Can't I?" represents Liz Phair's shift from indie rock to pure pop. It peaked at no. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the crossover could be considered a fail. The song angered fans, but this song will remain in retail stores and lobbies for life.
Fountains of Wayne - Stacey's Mom
Yeah, the entire concept behind this track is pretty bizarre, but it was catchy in 2003. The song peaked at no. 21 on Billboard but Fountains of Wayne was never cared for again.
Stacie Orrico - More To Life
I thought this girl was going to be huge and stanned a bit. This song only peaked at no. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. She also had the iconic "Stuck" but More To Life was her only true "hit." #poordat
