(The rules are that you can now vote for only "2" songs at the most)

Also, i've added the exact Date that each song hit #1 for the very first time on the Top 40 Charts

This is a Poll, and on every one is going to be a list of all the songs that Reached #1 on the Top 40 Charts in America that year

Remember, this is the American charts, just so you guys aren't confused

Anyway, pick your favorite #1 Hit song from 1997  8)

(There is one silly thing i've noticed so far with ever year, and that's that Mariah Carey has had atleast 1 song hit #1 each year of the 90's so far in my lists...Amazing)

Savage Garden  8)


I'm not a big fan of Candle in the Wind 1997 because here in Canada, it got major overkill ... it spent 45 weeks at #1 and was in the top 20 for 3 consecutive years  :o

Wow, I guess if it was on the charts for 3 years, they must have been changing the name of the song often, right?  From "Candle in the Wind 1997" to "Candle in the Wind 1998" and on...lol

Want to hear something funny? I don't think I ever remember hearing that song...ever! And that's weird considering it was a #1 hit, but I just don't recall it at all.  Which is good because it probably blows (no offense)

Well hey, if it's any conselation, the longest running song ever on the Top 40 Charts here in America was "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson, which was on the charts for 33 weeks.  So ask yourself, what's worse?  33 Weeks of Kelly Clarkson or 3 years of Elton John?  ;D

Anyway, 1997 will always be known as the "British Invasion" in America that year in terms of Music.  We had everything on the radio from Spice Girls, Prodigy, Elton John, Chumbawumba, Blur, etc... (with Spice Girls and Prodigy being the most popular of course)

Blah what horrible no.1's! All except for the brilliant "Lovefool" by the Cardigans.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina"  -  Madonna  (February 15th)

And I have just realised that I only clicked on one.

the freshmen was very good in 1997 this song made 1997

Do You Know What It Takes by Robyn
Lovefool by The Cardigans

...I voted before I saw "I Want You" by Savage Garden which would have received a vote cause I love this song!

Blah what horrible no.1's! All except for the brilliant "Lovefool" by the Cardigans.


Ditto


1997, also the downfall of popular music & MTV

I remember liking pretty much all these songs, but the two I chose were the ones that I liked probably the most back then, as opposed to right now.

Tubthumping (I still love that song).
"Say You'll Be There" - Spice Girls (I know, I know... but it was a good song, and I was influenced by my best friend at the time, who was English.)

Blah what horrible no.1's! All except for the brilliant "Lovefool" by the Cardigans.


Yeah, I remember the Music Video for it the most,  It had all these celebrities in it like Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes, and John Leguizamo

Well, isn't that because the clip was from the movie Romeo And Juilet? :)

And yes, the re-do of Candle In The Wind to change the subject from Marilyn Monroe to Diana Spencer was ghastly and you are fortunate not to recall it!

That's right, I forgot about that  :P

Whatever happened to Meredith Brooks anyway??  I love that song, it is so great to be able to sing along to a song that is on the radio with cuss words.  I am surprised that they didn't bleep out every Bitch!

Candle In The Wind 1997  -  Elton John

Finally...I get to vote in this poll. But I am still undecided about which two songs I will vote for, as I have more than two picks at the moment:

"Don't Speak" - No Doubt

Slightly better than the '96 choices...


"Semi Charmed Life"  -  Third Eye Blind  (August 30th)
and
"The Freshman"  -  The Verve Pipe  (July 12th)
