  2003 in British music information - Search.com
This is a summary of 2003 in music in the United Kingdom, including the official charts from that year.
Becoming the second single of the year to have a 4 week run at number one, the next chart topper was a re-working of Oliver Cheatham's 1983 #38 hit, "Get Down Saturday Night".
Hitting the top for only the 6th time since his massively successful career began in 1971, Elton John's #42 hit from 1979 was shortened, put into use in by Sky TV for their football premiership ads and consequently re-released when it shot straight to the top of the charts for a week.

  Single (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most singles have only one A-side and are named after this song, but some may have a double A-side (a famous example being Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane by the Beatles), where two tracks are given equal billing in the title of the single.
Singles often feature "radio edit" or "single edit" versions of the main song, which differ from the original recording in being edited to an attractive length for radio play, having expletives censored (often by re-recording with different lyrics), or both.
Singles have been issued on various formats, including 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch vinyl discs (usually playing at 45 rpm); 10-inch shellac discs (playing at 78 rpm); cassette, 3 and 5-inch CD singles and 7-inch plastic flexi discs.

The release of The Singles 1992-2003, a CD with the band's best hits, and Everything in Time: B-sides, Remixes and Rarities prompted media speculation about a break-up, which the band denied in later interviews.
Baby.'s third single "Hollaback Girl" became Stefani's first U.S. and second Australian number-one single; it peaked at number eight in the UK and at number twelve in Canada.
The fourth single "Cool" was released shortly following the success of its predecessor, but failed to match its chart success, reaching the U.S. top ten and the UK top twenty.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Irish (In Countries Other Than Ireland)
In 1874 the Congress of the United States assumed control of the question of immigration, and the admission and supervision of arriving immigrants are now in charge of a Commissioner of General Immigration appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Although the number of such societies and their membership were comparatively small, yet they served as rallying-points for the maintenance of the spirit of Irish nationality, and as centres of the charitable activity of their members.
Their number alone, coming from a land where they had suffered so greatly for conscience' sake, implied a corresponding religious activity and influence in the United States, where they were released from the restraints to which they were subject at home.

 Amazon.com: Singles: Music: The Smiths   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
When you listen to this collection of nearly all the noteworthy singles by the Smiths, you might marvel over the fact that Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr collaborated and cowrite so many astonishing tunes only to break up a mere four years into their creative burst.
Singles is immune to such debate because it claims to be neither their "best of" nor their "greatest hits".
Singles demonstrates so many facets of the band's strength: Guitarist Johnny Marr's jangling, intricate leads and second-nature sense of pop song craft, the bedrock rhythm section of Andy Rourke's churning bass lines and Mike Joyce, all intensity and pulse on his drum kit, and of course, Morrissey.

 U2 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The centrepiece of the album is "Bad," a long, experimental song which, while never released as a single, provided the album's defining moment: a cathartic exploration on the theme of heroin dependency - a problem particularly prevalent in the Dublin of the mid-1980s.
No such pre-release of the album occurred, however, and the first single from the album, titled "Vertigo", was released for airplay on September 24, 2004.
The third single from the album, "City of Blinding Lights", entered the UK singles chart at #2 on June 12.

 BeatleLinks Fab Forum - Beatles vs. Everybody
The charts analysed are the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, the UK singles and albums chart, and the German singles and albums chart since 1956.
The Beatles released 30 official singles in the UK (from "Love Me Do" in 62 to "Real Love" in 96), thus 80% of their singles made the British Top 10.
Interesting that The Beatles only had one less number 1 hit in the UK than Elvis, and had two more number 1 hits in the US than Elvis did, and their career as a record producing band and number of released singles was significantly less than Elvis.

 Documentation of Internet Filtering Worldwide
For example, companies may seek to improve employee productivity by restricting access to leisure sites; libraries and schools may seek to avoid exposing children to sexually-explicit content, or be required to do so; countries may seek to control the information received by their citizens generally.
Common among nearly all these applications is the public unavailability of the filtering lists -- that, by the design of filtering systems, users cannot and do not know the set of specific sites blocked.
With this project we seek to document and analyze a large number of Web pages blocked by various types of filtering regimes, and ultimately create a distributed tool enabling Internet users worldwide to gather and relay such data from their respective locations on the Internet.
