Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1997

Elton John (pictured) topped the Year-End chart with his double-sided single, "Candle in the Wind 1997" / "Something About the Way You Look Tonight", which was at the top of the Hot 100 for 14 weeks. Puff Daddy (pictured) had the most songs on the Year-End list with five: two of them, "I'll Be Missing You" and "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down", appeared in the top 10, and he was featured on three other songs on the chart ("Mo Money Mo Problems", "No Time", and "Someone".)

This is a list of Billboard's Top Hot 100 songs of 1997.[1]

The list is also notable for featuring 14 songs that appeared in 1996's list, repeat onto to this list. With the highest being Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart", which barely made it on to 1996's list at number 81 only accounting six weeks of its run in the 1996 chart year, and repeat higher at number 4 in 1997's. Only four more year-end list would repeat the same feat, that being 2010, 2016, 2018 and 2022.
