I find it hard to agree with many here that this is a top year. I know it's got it's fair share of classics and a lot of great songs, but few I would rank among my personal favorites.

1. The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
2. Outkast - Hey Ya!
3. Kelis - Trick Me
4. The Knife - Pass This On
5. The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
6. Arcade Fire - No Cars Go*
7. Lucinda Williams - Those Three Days
8. Kelis - Milkshake
9. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date with the Night
10. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone
11. Missy Elliott - Pass that Dutch
12. Beyoncé - Crazy in Love
13. Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros - Coma Girl
14. The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
15. Panjabi MC - Mundian to Back Ke
*Yes, this song was originally released on an EP in 2003, even if the world (and Acclaimed Music with it) tries to ignore this fact and lists it as a 2007 song.

I have 'No Cars Go' as my #11 for 2007 at the moment. I guess the only excuse is that it is a different version. Votes will be accepted in 2007, but I will remember to include your vote in the wildcard calculation Rob.

Your time is running out - about 25 hours left for voting.

ALBUMS results.

35 voters voted for 214 different albums.
Less voters, but more albums than 2000-2002, reflecting less enthusiasm for the leading albums of 2003 (I’m expecting something similar for 2004). It is borderline whether any further 2003 albums will qualify as wildcards.

Rank | Artist | Album | Points | # Voters
1 | The White Stripes | Elephant | 633 | 20
2 | Radiohead | Hail to the Thief | 375 | 18
3 | OutKast | Speakerboxxx / The Love Below | 325 | 14
4 | Muse | Absolution | 252 | 10
5 | Four Tet | Rounds | 196 | 12
6 | Sufjan Stevens | Michigan | 185 | 17
7 | The Wrens | The Meadowlands | 171 | 7
8 | Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Fever to Tell | 161 | 11
9 | The Shins | Chutes Too Narrow | 129 | 9
10 | Belle and Sebastian | Dear Catastrophe Waitress | 123 | 12

24 | Lightning Bolt | Wonderful Rainbow | 2003 | 98
25 | Boards of Canada | Geogaddi | 2002 | 97

We have chosen 4 albums from outside the AM top 10 for 2003:
Muse | Absolution | AM Rank =26
Sufjan Stevens | Michigan | AM Rank =16
The Wrens | The Meadowlands | AM Rank =14
Belle and Sebastian | Dear Catastrophe Waitress | AM Rank =23

Compared with our last year 2003 poll, we promoted Muse “Absolution” (from #23), and Four Tet “Rounds” (from #19). Replacing The Strokes “Room on Fire” (down to #13) and The Postal Service “Give Up” (down to #22). Quite a snub that for the AM #7 of 2003.

SONG results.

38 voters voted for 321 different songs.
Similar pattern as with the albums, except that 2003 will get it’s share of songs (5ish) through as wildcards (including Sōretsu yay).

1 | OutKast | Hey Ya! | 603 | 22
2 | The White Stripes | Seven Nation Army | 509 | 23
3 | Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Maps | 262 | 15

6 | Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z | Crazy in Love | 188 | 14
7 | The Killers | Mr. Brightside | 166 | 10
8 | Britney Spears | Toxic | 154 | 9
9 | Blur | Out of Time | 135 | 9
10 | Muse | Time Is Running Out | 133 | 6

24 | The Knife | Pass This On | 2003 | 95
25 | The Flaming Lips | Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Pt. 1) | 2002 | 93

Radiohead | There There | AM Rank = 17
Blur | Out of Time | AM Rank = 12
Muse | Time Is Running Out | AM Rank = 56

Compared with our last year 2003 poll, we promoted The Killers “Mr. Brightside” (last time #12 for 2004), Britney Spears “Toxic” (no position recorded last time), and Muse “Time is Running Out” (no position recorded last time). Replacing Jay-Z “99 Problems” (last time #5, now in a solid wildcard position), TV On The Radio “Staring At The Sun” (last time #6, now in a solid wildcard position), and R Kelly “Ignition (Remix)” (last time #8, this time completely wiped out at #85!).

Just noticed this. Awesome list. I thought I would be the biggest fan of your #1. For as many songs as I know, I only know all the words to a few, and that's one of them. Great album...You and I alone got it to 20th.

I wonder why this website has made such a sudden turn in loving Muse. I think that maybe two or even one year ago it was a band that you'd hardly find on any lists here, but now they are among the mayor players of this polls.

Don't think anybody's opinion changed much but we got younger blood (in their 20s) with some "alternative rock" fans among them.
Personally first 3 albums have always been on my lists, the others never will! So so far I Don't mind but expect a rant about one of my biggest let down ever for the 2006 poll.

Since I didn't vote, I can't really complain...but I'm shocked that 99 Problems didn't crack the top 10. Overall a pretty solid group of songs though.

Not to mention the stunning (to me) success of Coldplay in the 2000 and 2002 polls.

I'm glad The Meadowlands came in at number 7! In my mind that album stacks up with any indie rock album of this era, including Illinois and Funeral.

The list turned out ok but that's the beauty of 2003. So many phenomenal albums released that year that didn't even crack the "bubbling unders." It was a year for really cute indie pop so if you're not a at glee for twee 2003 wasn't you're cup of tea. If I had to chose the one year the critics were most off their mark it was definitely 2003.

Apologies in advance Nassim. It wouldn't have made any list I made in 2006 because it wasn't what I expected or wanted to hear, but I have come to like it. Nothing they made later gets onto my lists, but BH&R is really pretty good once you get over it not being the great album early fans were hoping for.
