We finish up 2003 with the highest selling single of the year for both the UK and Australia.

*I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their involvement with these polls, with this poll we will have completed 4 years worth of top 25's and with a poll a day this marks the 100th poll. I have decided that this will be the last one for a little while. I'm hoping to give everyone a little breather and to also not clog up so much of the front page of the 21st Century Forum. I would love to bring this back for 2004 but hopefully in a different format to this, so I'll take some time to think what it could look like.

Thank you again everyone for your participation and posts along the way. I wasn't to sure how well this was going to be received, so I'm really happy that so many people took to it and continued to support it.

Where Is The Love? again for me.

I do quite like so of Guy Sebastian's music, but I'm not huge on this one. His winners single from the first series of Australian Idol.

Not keen on the song but Guy does sing that nicely. It's a clear win for 'Where Is The Love?' here.

Thanks for running this Paddington and look forward to seeing you pick this back up in some format later on!

Black Eyed Peas!

But I too like some later stuff by Guy.

Guy Sebastian

Easily Black Eyed Peas. They were brilliant before they returned with the (still good, but nowhere near the same quality) EDM stuff towards the end of the decade, and 'Where Is The Love?' is their second best behind 'Shut Up'!

I could go for 'Where Is The Love?' but opted for the other one, it's a nice ballad and not as overplayed from my experience.

Admittedly, my last vote was #6 because I didn't want to pick between ATTSS and BMTL. Is that cheating? 🤭

Let's say I'll consider this year a tie!
