OutKast tops new Voice poll
The OutKast’s big week gets a little bigger with the release of the Village Voice critics’ poll on the best records of 2003. The hip-hop duo’s “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below,” which won the best album Grammy on Sunday, is named the No. 1 album, and its “Hey Ya!” tops the list of singles in the survey of 733 writers from around the country.
In the Voice’s point system, the OutKast’s two-CD set is an easy winner over the White Stripes’ “Elephant,” 3,619 to 2,411. The Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” is the No. 3 single, behind Beyonce featuring Jay-Z’s “Crazy in Love.”

Critics’ poll -- An article in Tuesday’s Calendar about the Village Voice critics’ poll on the best records of 2003 mistakenly said OutKast had won with 3,619 points. The correct point total was 3,584.
The remaining Top 10 albums, in order: Fountains of Wayne’s “Welcome Interstate Managers,” Radiohead’s “Hail to the Thief,” the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Fever to Tell,” the Shins’ “Chutes too Narrow,” the New Pornographers’ “Electric Version,” Basement Jaxx’s “Kish Kash,” Drive-By Truckers’ “Decoration Day” and Dizzee Rascal’s “Boy in Da Corner.”
The results, officially billed as the 30th or 31st annual Pazz & Jop Poll, will appear on the Village Voice website late today and will be in the issue that hits newsstands Wednesday.
