By the time 1997 rolled around, grunge was dead, gangsta rap was in its platinum-tinted golden age, and the music industry was making more money than ever on CD sales. But the Billboard Hot 100 told a different story than the albums chart. It was a slow-burn, heartbreak-heavy, sugar-rush year where Puff Daddy sampled his way to the top , female R&B singers dominated , and a certain blonde-haired mouseketeer released her debut single just as the calendar turned.
The Macarena. It was released in 1995, re-released in 1996, and still peaked at #23 in 1997. Also, Hanson’s "MMMBop" at #20. We have no excuse. The Final Verdict 1997 on the Hot 100 was the sound of the 1990s growing up and looking back . It was a year of tribute songs, tragic deaths, and healing ballads, yet it also carried the seeds of the glossy, Max Martin-produced teen pop that would define 1999. If you want the true bridge between "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "...Baby One More Time," you won’t find a better map than this chart.
