Author's choice of the Worst Song that Charted: Britney Spears featuring Madonna - Me Against the Music Most eagerly anticipated song partially due to that infamous kiss that it generated enough radio airplay and TRL votes (the video is cool) to chart (even become #1) though it was really an awful song.

2. OutKast (Andre 3000) - Hey Ya! (1/1) if I had my way I'd place this very cool song (cool music video as well) as co-number 1 song of the year. This is a hit on all formats (well maybe not the country or latin charts). "Shake it like a polaroid picture."
1. 50 Cent - In Da Club (1/1) - hands down the biggest song of the year (the excellent Hey Ya! is a very close second), from the best-selling album of the year, sang by the break-out artist of the year. "Go shawty it's your birthday, we're gon' party like it's yo birthday"
#1 last year: Eminem - Lose Yourself
