In 1997, the movie ‘The English Patient’ won the Oscar for best picture, while Michael Jackson’s first child is born. What were the most popular songs that year?

1. “Candle In the Wind” from Elton John
2. “Foolish Games/You Were Meant For Me” by Jewel
3. “I’ll Be Missing You” from Puff Daddy and Faith Evans
4. “Un-Break My Heart” by Toni Braxton
5. “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” from Puff Daddy
6. “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly
7. “Don’t Let Go (Love)” from En Vogue
8. “Return of the Mack” by Mark Morrison
9. “How Do I Live” by LeAnn Rimes
10. “Wannabe” from Spice Girls
11. “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” by Backstreet Boys

Observations: Britain’s Princess Diana’s death gave way to Elton’s reissue of his hit song, which he performed at her funeral. Take a look at the diversity of the year; soul stars Puff, Toni and R. Kelly, country singers Faith and LeAnn, and boy band Backstreet Boys. 1997 was an interesting year for sure.
