TwistedElegance™ Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 2000 Winner: Doesn't Really Matter by Janet Jackson2001 Winner: All For You by Janet Jackson2002 Winner: Tie between Lose Yourself by Eminem and Work It by Missy Elliott2003 Winner: Crazy In Love by Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z 2004 was the year Martha Stewart was convicted of lying to federal investigators about selling stock in the drug company ImClone; the Olympics returned home to Athens, Greece; and an undersea earthquake near Indonesia triggered a giant tsunami that killed over 125,000 people.The Hot 100 was all about the House of Usher in 2004. The Atlanta resident dominated the charts with four different No. 1 singles that kept his name on top of the Hot 100 for 28 weeks. On the year-end recap, Usher held down the top two spots, the first artist to do so since The Beatles in 1964. Yeah! landed in first place for 2004 and Burn was the runner-up. Usher had never previously scored the top single of the year, or even the second-best single of the year. He had appeared in the year-end Top 10s of 2002 (No. 10 with I Need a Girl (Part One)), 2001 (No. 3 with U Got It Bad), 1998 (No. 8 with Nice & Slow) and 1997 (No. 7 with You Make Me Wanna...). Usher had two more hits in the Top 10: My Boo, a duet with Alicia Keys, was No. 5, and Confessions Part II was No. 9. That made Usher the first artist to have three songs in the annual Top 5 since Elvis Presley, who did it in 1956 (No. 1 with Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog, No. 2 with Jailhouse Rock/Treat Me Nice, No. 3 with All Shook Up, and No. 4 with (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear). Usher was also the first artist to have four songs in the year-end Top 10 since The Beatles in 1964 (No. 1 with I Want To Hold Your Hand, No. 2 with She Loves You, No. 6 with Can't Buy Me Love, and No. 10 with I Feel Fine). Usher was represented in the year-end Top 10 with solo work, a duet, and a song where he was one of three artists. The duet, My Boo, brought Alicia Keys back into the year-end Top 5 for the first time since her debut single, Fallin', was No. 5 for 2001. My Boo was the first duet by two stars with equal billing to make the year-end Top 5 since Brandy & Monica had the No. 2 hit of 1998, The Boy Is Mine. Billed to Usher featuring Lil Jon & Ludacris, Yeah! was the first year-end No. 1 by three people since 2000, when Maria Maria by Santana featuring the Product G&B was the top single of the year. Yeah! was the first No. 1 song of the year by three individual artists. Yeah! and Burn made an unusual pairing by both being one-word titles, making 2004 only the second year in the rock era to have two one-word titles end up in the top two slots of the year. This wordplay at the top of the annual recap first happened in 1987, when George Michael was No. 1 with Faith and Heart was No. 2 with Alone. By teaming with Usher, the featured artists on Yeah! both had their highest rankings on a year-end tally. Ludacris had earned a slot in the Top 10 of 2003 with Stand Up, Lil Jon just missed the 2003 Top 10; he had the No. 11 song of the year with Get Low. On the 2004 recap, Ludacris appeared again at No. 47 with Splash Waterfalls. Lil Jon was also featured on Trick Daddy's Let's Go at No. 44 and on the Ying Yang Twins' Salt Shaker at No. 61. Lil Jon was also No. 86 with his own hit, What U Gon' Do.Aside from Ludacris, another artist from 2003 encored in the Top 10 of 2004. P. Diddy, No. 6 in 2003 with Shake Ya Tailfeather, was No. 8 in 2004 with I Don't Wanna Know. Diddy was the only artist in the 2004 Top 10 who had a Top 10 listing three years in a row. In 2002, he was No. 10 with I Need a Girl (Part One). On I Don't Wanna Know, Diddy was supporting lead artist Mario Winans, as was Irish singer/composer Enya. She was billed because one of her songs was sampled, but that was good enough to place her in the year-end Top 10 for the first time. In 2001, she was No. 42 for the year with Only Time, her only other single to appear on a year-end chart.Making his first appearance in a year-end Top 10 was Snoop Dogg, No. 7 with Drop It Like It's Hot. The Long Beach, California-born rapper first showed up in a year-end recap in 1994, when he was No. 57 with Gin and Juice and No. 88 with What's My Name. Prior to Drop It Like It's Hot, he had his two highest-ranked year-end singles in 2003, when he was featured on Chingy's Holidae Inn at No. 28 and had his own Beautiful at No. 50.Finishing the year at No. 12 was The Reason by Hoobastank on the Island label. This was the first time the imprint had been in the Top 30 portion of the year-end chart since 1994, when I'm the Only One by Melissa Etheridge was No. 27. Hoobastank gave Island its best year-end placement since U2 was No. 8 in 1987 with With Or Without You.Members of Destiny's Child had the No. 1 songs of 2002 and 2003 (Dilemma by Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland and Baby Boy by Beyoncé featuring Sean Paul), but the group itself hadn't made a year-end appearance since 2001, when Survivor was No. 12. After doing some solo work, the trio reunited in 2004 and came in at No. 17 with Lose My Breath. Beyoncé was back, too, at No. 21 with Naughty Girl and No. 34 with Me, Myself and I. Sean Paul was also back, without Beyoncé. With Sasha as featured artist, Paul was No. 62 with I'm Still In Love With You.The highest-ranked remake of 2004 was Sheryl Crow's The First Cut Is the Deepest, at No. 29, which had originally been recorded by its songwriter, Cat Stevens. Rod Stewart released a single version in 1977, but it didn't rank on that year's Top 100. The last time Crow was on a year-end chart was 2002, when she had the No. 44 song of the year, Soak Up the Sun. Her highest placing was in 1994, when All I Wanna Do finished at No. 11.A sister act occupied three spots on the 2004 chart. Jessica Simpson had already racked up three year-end hits: She was No. 24 in 1999 with I Wanna Love You Forever, No. 80 in 2000 with I Think I'm In Love With You, and No. 71 in 2001 with Irresistible. In 2004, she ranked No. 50 with With You and No. 92 with Take My Breath Away. But she was trumped by younger sister Ashlee Simpson, who landed at No. 41 with Pieces of Me.American Idol was responsible for three hits on the 2004 summary. Kelly Clarkson, who was No. 18 in 2002 with A Moment Like This, just missed equalling that mark by coming in at No. 19 with Breakaway, from the soundtrack to The Princess Diaries 2. Ruben Studdard was No. 60 with Sorry 2004, and newly-crowned Fantasia, winner of the series' third season, was No. 78 with her debut single, I Believe.
