#40- Sugar Ray & Supercat - Fly
This song also made the US Billboard Charts (#1 for 6 weeks, total of 59 weeks ). Should move this up the list.
None of our Billboad Hot 100 listings have a song called "Fly" as number 1 or any song by Sugar Ray as a hit in 1997

WHERE IS THIS SONG?
my heart will go on?
You could try searching in the box at the top of this page
That would show that Celine Dion's version was a hit in 1998 (not 1997)

I don´t get it
Where is hit singles like Era: Ameno or Bellini: Samba?? Where is any of Kelly Family, Scooter or Boyzone hits?
Scooter and Boyzone have thier own pages none of the rest of these were worldwide hits, try using the search box on top of this page to find the few entries that they have

Hi. I am looking for a song.....don't know the title and the artist. The song is from the 90's (1990-1999) in there there is words that goes like this..... Feel it in your heartbeat....
The Temptations minor hit "Lady Soul" had that line, but that's from 1986.

key area in my life
1997 was quite a year in my life. +I had graduated college, was burnt out,and had a ton on my plate, and forgot a lot of memories. +Recalling the music of the year, allows me to remember some of my memories.
14 Mar 2012
the mid 90's starts the pop and R'nB music revolution with tons and tons of songs from boybands and boygroups.. I love this year 1995, 1996 1997...1998 1999 and 2000!! Wow! Music were at its best!!

Invinceable
I am looking for a song from 1997 sung by a female, not sure if a band or solo, all i remember are the words ..... invinceable!!

Very Good
However, shouldn't candle in the wing 97 be at the top? It may not have done so well in the charts but it touched the hearts of anyone at princess di's funeral and is the best selling song in billboard history.
We can't measure how much a song "touched the hearts", if we could we might include it. What we can measure is how many countries round the world the song was top of the charts.

lav kush movie songs
Why does this list not have any Lav Kush movie songs?
Bollywood music, while it is may be very popular, has not penetrated the charts. This site lists music in the charts. We have not yet found any credible music charts for India and the Bollywood music has not had much impact on the charts we have got.
