A reader (!!) has pointed out that Belgium actually won second place in 2003 (with their other made-up language song) and Turkey took first. This is not hard to do since even the link I left contains the correct information. I'm not vain enough to believe they've edited the copy since last week, so I must've read it wrong. Thus, here is the clarification post!
TURKEY - Sertab Erener - Everyway That I Can
BELGIUM - Urban Trad - Sanomi
2003 is the year before I started watching, so it's a good history lesson. For the record, the song from Turkey wouldn't have made it anywhere near my list (unless the rest of that year was just...worse somehow, but I don't have time to dig through it all right now) but Belgium may have.
For comparison, we already know what Belgium is doing this year (<3), but how about...
TURKEY - Mor Ve Otesi - Deli
I actually approve of this, too. I mean, regardless of whether the lyrics are any good, the melody is one of the best this year. It probably should've been in my top ten, but you know, fucking Dustin the Turkey or whoever. You're seeing it now!
In conclusion, 2003 was not as awesome as 2008, and Turkey did somehow win, not Belgium.
