The Scandinavian invasion hadn’t fully happened even by the late ‘90s, but Aqua’s biggest (and basically only) hit certainly hastened that movement. As big as his dance-pop song was, its merits didn’t especially endure off the pop charts, which have often gravitated toward mindless and yet irresistible lyrics; in fact, Mattel, the manufacturer of B...
In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Teddy Riley was a producer’s producer, effectively codifying the R&B genre of “New Jack Swing” while working as a member of chart-topping bands like Guy and Wreckx-n-Effect (formerly known as Wrecks-n-Effect). Riley formed Blackstreet in 1991, but after writing this instant dancefloor classic in 1996, neither Guy no...
Alanis Morissette spawned a lot of imitators, fierce young women who were determined to stake their claim with catchy melodies and unsparing indictments of their male counterparts—not to mention those counterparts’ perception of them. Meredith Brooks earned a Grammy nomination for this defiant anthem, which her label Capitol was initially reluctant...
British rock band Chumbawumbahad been together 15 (!) years by the time they earned their first major worldwide hit, and boy were its members ready. Initially inspired by punk rock, and later, rave culture, the group shuffled through identities until those influences came together quite brilliantly with “Tubthumping.” From its hip-hop beats to its ...
Paula Cole struck pop paydirt with this propulsive song about a tragic romance, the lead-off single from her second album. The track earned her three Grammy nominations and her first (and only) Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart before she sang her way into true immortality with “I Don’t Want To Wait,” which of course became the theme song f...
Suffice it to say that Indian culture was not an especially commercially viable subject in 1997, but Tjinder Singh and his band carved out a niche with the breakthough single “Brimful of Asha,” a mercilessly catchy tune based on the history of Indian cinema. It certainly didn’t hurt that Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim remixed it into another strato...
For better or worse, Daft Punk’s debut album Homework was still lodged in the past—of electronic music, if nowhere else. The tracks, including its debut single “Da Funk,” all ran extremely long for any other purpose than filling a dance floor, which may account for its comparatively muted acclaim in comparison to their explosively popular sophomore...
There’s probably a math equation you can do with song that will make you feel extremely old, or somehow pair up with the wait involved between the first Avatar and James Cameron’s long-delayed sequels. But like Titanic, the film that inspired it, this ballad only gained commercial steam after the movie was released in December 1997, not only becomi...
Timbaland was already an established presence by 1997 thanks to his work for Aaliyah (“If Your Girl Only Knew”) and Ginuwine (“Pony”). But this debut single by Elliott, herself a songwriter for Aaliyah, seemed to transform the landscape of R&B almost overnight. Strictly speaking, Missy Elliott sort of straddles R&B and hip-hop, but that was also Ti...
At approximately the same time that boy bands were making a comeback and dominating the pop charts, this sibling trio merged the DIY aesthetic of grunge and the sunny harmonies of forebears from the Beach Boys to the Jackson Five. Credit for its success actually goes to cult producers and Beastie Boys and Beck collaborators the Dust Brothers, who s...

- Saint Joe on the School Bus. The second single from Marcy Playground’s debut album was “Saint Joe on the School Bus,” which served as the first hit for the group since its release in 1997.
- It’s Saturday. “It’s Saturday” was originally titled Teenage Hypochondriac, but was changed just before the 1999 release of the Marcy Playground’s second studio album, Shapeshift.
- Poppies. Marcy Playground made its debut with the upbeat single, “Poppies,” which was released from the group’s first studio album in 1997. While it did not reach any official music charts, served as an introductory portrayal of Wozniak’s minimalistic approach to different styles of music that ranged from folk to psychedelic, to rock.
