Steve Brookstein wins the first ever series of X Factor
Nadia Almada wins Big Brother 5
Series 3 of I'm a Celeb probably still remains the most iconic and memorable series of all time despite being 20 years ago with the hoy trinity of Peter, Jordan & Kerry
I remember the Record of the Year show on ITV was still massive, this year won by Busted - Thunderbirds Are Go (lol)

Yes, we might be having a 20-year commemoration in December.



Meanwhile in MotoGP, Valentino Rossi left Honda where he won three premier class titles with and joined Yamaha. The moment where he kissed his new bike after winning in South Africa will forever be iconic.

These films were also released in 2004:

Kung Fu Hustle
New Police Story
Spider-Man 2
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
Taxi (a US remake of the original French film. It's a garbage, but I somehow like it lol)
The Incredibles
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

Popular anime Bleach also unleashed its first ever episode in 2004.

Music, I was still very young and poor back then to recognize English songs. So, nothing really historical for me.

The Athens Olympics
The best series of Australian Big Brother (well in my view).

From a music point of view:
Maroon 5 - This Love
Slinkies Minx - Sumer Rain
Natasha Bedinfield - These Words

Australian Idol had the shock early exit of fan favourite Ricki-Lee. I imagine it was a little like with Maria Lawson was voted off X Factor.
