Get your calendar out now, because on Saturday 3 February Double J will count down the Hottest 100 of 2003, and it's a bloody big one.

We're not just saying this either. We've absolutely loved every single throwback to the Hottest 100 of 20 years ago that we've broadcasted over the years, but this one hits different.

As you will see below, it is a monstrous list of songs. You'd be hard pressed to find another Hottest 100 of the time that packs this many anthems that still loom large in popular culture today.

Check out the full list below, and make sure you join us on Saturday 3 February as we count them down in a gloriously nostalgic and very fun celebration of some seriously incredible music.
