1	48	1204	2003 & 2004	All The Things She Said It shot straight-in to our Pure Dance chart at # 1 during the 6TH week of 2003, and it stayed with us for the rest of the year through the first week of 2004 (48 weeks in all). It spent its first 27 weeks in the TOP 15. After dropping a bit down the chart it surged back up and spent another 9 weeks in the TOP 15. T.A.T.U. loosely translated from Russian means "This girl loves that girl".	T.A.T.U.
1	50	1240	2003 & 2004	Alone It was either this one or "Something". For 100 weeks in a row from April 2002 through March 2004 Lasgo was on our chart, and it couldn't have been more simpler. Their debut smash "Something" spent 50 weeks in a row on our chart. The week it fell off their follow-up smash "Alone" entered, and it spent the next 50 weeks in a row on our chart. "Something" amassed 1478 chart points in its 50 weeks, and "Alone" racked-up 1240 chart points. Out of their combined 100 weeks on our chart they spent 7 of them at # 1 - and a MASSIVE 65 weeks in our TOP 10 !	Lasgo
32	2	16	2003	Blinded By The Light 'The Boss' Bruce Springsteen wrote and recorded the original version of this song back in 1972 at the start of his music career. It was the lead-off track and first single off of his first album. Over 4 years later it was covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. It became a U.S. # 1 smash in February 1977. Over 25 years later it was covered again by Tampa Bay area breakbeat deejay Sharaz. He turned it into a club dance techno smash.	DJ Sharaz
1	12	396	2003	E The "E" stands for "Eveline" - not "Eminem" - although it was often referred to as "that Eminem techno song" due to its riff from Eminem's "Without You". This techno smash didn't last long here on our chart, but it was certainly one of the most unique dance songs of 2003. It was the leadoff track of one of my favourite CDs of 2003 - "Techno Party (Volume One)" - another great dance compilation courtesy of Robbins Entertainment.	Drunkenmunky
1	21	334	2003 & 2004	Hey Ya ! The 2004 MASSIVE Memory Music Award for Best Pop Dance song went to this International smash from Outkast. It entered our chart during the first weekend of November 2003 at the tail-end of our Pure Dance era, and it hit # 1 during the final weekend of 2003. It stayed there for 3 more weeks well into January 2004. It was the # 7 smash overall in 2004 at U.S. hit music radio.	Outkast
2	22	369	2003 & 2004	It's My Life This was the 9TH and final chart hit for No Doubt. It entered our chart during the tail-end of our 'Pure Dance Era', and it continued on well past our flip back to mainstream pop. It was the longest-running of all of the No Doubt chart hits at 22 weeks. It was a remake of the Talk Talk hit from 20 years earlier that hit # 31 here in the U.S. It wasn't until 1990 when the original finally became a hit in their native U.K.	No Doubt
1	37	810	2003 & 2004	Love Bites This had 'MASSIVE Memory' written all over it from the very beginning, and now it's official. I first heard it on the radio back during a Spring Of 2003 visit to Orlando Florida as I was arriving and exiting Florida's Turnpike northbound onto the Osceola Parkway towards Walt Disney World. It was on 95.3-PARTY (a pure dance station at the time). A couple of months later it hit the airwaves of PARTY-93.1 here in South Florida. In December I got to see QED perform "Love Bites" LIVE at the "Not So Silent Night 2" concert in Miami's Coconut Grove.	QED
1	15	373	2003 & 2004	My Time Crystal Waters' first hit in over 6 years (since "Say If You Feel Alright" in 1997) was a MASSIVE club dance smash. She wrote it, and DJ The Scumfrog set it to music. After he mixed it up just fine Crystal did the video for it in London. The single and its video were then released to the world, as Scumfrog went under the alias Dutch. It soared to # 1 on our chart in November 2003, and a month later I got to dance to it as she performed it LIVE on stage at a 'PARTY-93.1' holiday concert in Miami.	Dutch Ft. Crystal Waters
1	31	836	2003 & 2004	Nothing But You This is Pure Trance, and it was # 1 on our Pure Dance Chart for 4 consecutive months in 2003 - but not for consecutive weeks. Its 8 weeks at # 1 tied it with Madonna's "American Life" as the longest-running # 1 smash of the year. Paul was born in Eisenhuettenstadt East Germany, and he grew up in Communist East Berlin. Growing up he listened to the Western radio stations where he enjoyed the British hit music scene.	Paul Van Dyk / Hemstock & Jennings
--	--	--	2003 & 2004	Rock Your Body, Rock He's one of Europe's top trance and techno deejays who travels the world to perform his magic. He often finds himself in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando here in Florida. In 2003 he released his "Right Of Way" CD which included this techno smash that I discovered at Mannequins Dance Palace at Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island where it's played almost every night. It's an awesome song to dance hard to on that MASSIVE revolving dance floor. This track never made our chart, but an earlier 1999 System F trance track - "Out Of The Blue" - reached # 22 on our chart in January 2003 during the midst of our 'Pure Dance Era'.	Ferry Corsten
1	14	250	2003	Satisfaction I discovered this song on Energy Dance Radio back in April 2003. The first time I heard it I was instantly intrigued with its extremely European-sounding quirkiness. It stuck out in my mind as the one song that sounded like nothing else on the radio at that time. The wild and crazy video that went along with it was so over-the-top that I could watch it over and over again during the month of July !	Benny Benassi
