Elton John his tribute to Lady Di leads the list for a second week

Elton John celebrates a second week at Number 1 with his tribute to the late Princess Diana. His hit Something About the Way You Look Tonight / Candle in the Wind 1997 is becoming one of the most successful singles of 1997 in no time, breaking records worldwide. It became the fastest-selling single in the UK, selling 658,000 copies on its first day of release, and over 1.5 million in its first week. The chart success in the United States is similar, the single debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with first week sales at 3.5 million copies. The global proceeds from the song going towards Diana's charities.

The Backstreet Boys score their sixth Top 10-entry with As Long As You Love Me. The American boy group scored their very first Top 10-hit in November 1995 with We've Got It Goin' On. More successes followed, including three massively successful Number 2-hits with I'll Never Break Your Heart, Get Down (You're The One For Me) and Everybody (Backstreet's Back). The Backstreet Boys are stated as one of the most successful boy groups of all time, only matched by Take That. The Backstreet Boys peak at Number 4 this week.

Aqua score their first Top 10-entry with Barbie Girl. Aqua is a Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group, known for their quirky hits. Aqua is already a massive sensation in Denmark, having scored multiple Number 1-hits and Platinum-certified successes. The group is now crossing over to other European countries with Barbie Girl. The song, at first glance, appears to be about the popular children's doll Barbie. However, at second glance, the song contains several sexual overtones. This caused some controversy upon its release in Denmark, but despite the controversy, it still broke records and easily reached Number 1 in multiple charts. On this list, Aqua peak at Number 9 this week.

Buckshot LeFonque scores the highest debut of the week. Buckshot LeFonque is a musical group project of Branford Marsalis. The name Buckshot LeFonque is actually a pseudonym used by jazz saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley for contractual reasons. Buckshot LeFonque his music certainly appeals to this list, as his debut single Another Day makes a spectacular entrance at Number 25 this week.
