Dido's Life for Rent opened 2003, sitting atop a list where heritage and reinvention met. The Darkness's tongue-in-cheek Permission To Land and The White Stripes' Elephant carried the rock energy, while R.E.M.'s career-spanning In Time and the Beatles' stripped Let It Be... Naked showed the catalogue pull. The surprises reward a closer look: Jamie Cullum's jazz crossover Twentysomething charting among the pop, Evanescence's Fallen bringing nu-metal gloom, and the Love Actually soundtrack riding the festive film. Beyoncé's Dangerously in Love marked her solo arrival. The whole year reads as British buyers hedging between guitar-band fun and grown-up singer-songwriter comfort.
