Record of the Year Revisited: 2003

Original Record of the Year: Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go

I remember when I was originally making my pick for 2003 it was very close between 2 records, "No Letting Go" by Wayne Wonder and "Ignition Remix" by R Kelly.

In the time that's passed since I've heard the Wayne Wonder song more times than I care to remember and have only heard the R Kelly song when I've chosen to play it myself.

Despite "No Letting Go" being overplayed which it is I still find myself listening to it of my own accord occasionally which says something about how good the song is. Obviously "Ignition Remix" isn't going to suffer the same fate.

Has R Kelly taken the crown?

Not quite. I think Wayne Wonder just about has the edge, but on another day it could of gone the other way.
