2003 was a year of many firsts and significant
achievements for Charlotte.
Charlotte started 2003 with a smash hit single in
the UK charts. "The Opera Song" entered the chart
at number 3 and went on to become one of the more
successful singles of the year. It was the year's
68th best seller, in a field of some 6000
releases.
Following her 2002 appearance on "Have I Got News
For You" as their youngest guest, in 2003
Charlotte went one better and became their
youngest ever presenter! Later in the year,
Charlotte was the youngest person to address the
Oxford Union. 2003 also saw the release of
Charlotte's first movie, "I'll Be There". The
movie received premierès in both Cardiff and
London. Charlotte recorded 4 songs for the movie
including the showpiece "Would I Know", surely one
of the most powerful tracks of the year.
Promotional activity for "The Opera Song" and
"I'll Be There" saw a number of TV appearances on
top TV shows including "Top Of The Pops", "The
Saturday Show", "Graham Norton" and "Jonathan
Ross".
Concert appearances included Las Vegas and
Swansea, Wales, both of which were attended by
fans and team members of our site.
Charlotte joined Ian Botham for the last leg of
his annual walk in support of the Noah's Ark
Children's Hospital Appeal, one of her favourite
charities.
The British media were up to their old tricks
again, focusing on Charlotte's private life in a
highly intrusive manner. This is an unfortunate
downside of fame which shows no sign of changing
as we enter 2004. We will continue to support
Charlotte's privacy.
Like the year before it, 2003 was another year of
change for the team at CharlotteChurch.net and
indeed, for the site itself. Our co-founder Mark (aka
USMark) handed over the reigns after 4 years.
Nobody appreciated quite how much effort Mark gave
to the smooth running of the site until he had
gone - it was significant. We would like to thank
you Mark for all your efforts over the years and
for leaving us with a site to be proud of. Towards
the end of the year we moved our site to a new
ISP, leading to what we hope will be a faster,
more reliable service with far more capacity for
those downloads which prove so popular when we run
features on Charlotte's appearances.
And so onto our feature, C2K3: The
CharlotteChurch.net Year in review. We hope you
enjoyed spending time with us in 2003 and we look
forward to more of the same in 2004! -
