Step back into one of the most exciting years in pop history - a time when boundary-pushing alternative anthems, flawless dancefloor fillers, global megastars and fresh faces all collided on the charts. 'NOW - Yearbook 1997' celebrates an unforgettable year of hits with 43 massive tracks across a 3-LP set pressed on gorgeous green vinyl. LP1 kicks off in style, with the stunning jazz-drenched ballad from legend George Michael, 'Older', before Natalie Imbruglia's huge debut single 'Torn'. The Cardigans had a #2 smash with 'Lovefool' and Hanson hit the US & UK #1 with 'MMMBop'. 'Barbie Girl' from Aqua and the Spice Girls' anthemic 'Spice Up Your Life' were both #1s, and Boyzone's 'Picture Of You' was a huge hit and featured in the film 'Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie'. Eurovision glory happened for the UK in 1997, and winners Katrina And The Waves with 'Love Shine A Light' close the first side.while over on the other, a second George Michael classic from his 'Older' album, the beautiful 'You Have Been Loved', opens ahead of another contemporary masterpiece 'Secret Garden' from Bruce Springsteen. Texas scored a UK top 5 with 'Say What You Want', and Sheryl Crow had a top 10 hit with 'A Change Would Do You Good'. Paul McCartney's 'Young Boy' is next before 'Ready To Go' which gave Republica a Top 20 chart debut, and closing the first LP, Robbie Williams' 'Old Before I Die', which became his second smash as a solo artist. LP2 kicks off with Radiohead's defining 'Paranoid Android', ahead of Kula Shaker's hit cover of 'Hush', and alt-pop from Embrace ('All You Good Good People'), The Charlatans ('North Country Boy') and The Seahorses ('Love Is The Law') before the side closes with Oasis's huge #1 'D'You Know What I Mean?' - the lead single from their third album 'Be Here Now'. Flip the LP over and discover some of 1997's dancefloor gold - opening with the club juggernaut and #1 'Professional Widow' from Tori Amos, remixed for single release by Armand Van Helden, along with Olive's UK #1 'You're Not Alone' and the huge '97 'Now Voyager' remix of 'You Got The Love' from The Source feat. Candi Staton. En Vogue's powerful 'Don't Let Go (Love)' is up next, ahead of 'I Wanna Be The Only One', a #1 for Eternal feat. Bebe Winans. LP2 finishes with pure pop gems from 911 with 'Bodyshakin', Backstreet Boys with 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' and Steps with their debut hit '5, 6, 7, 8'. The final LP opens with Pet Shop Boys' and their brilliant version of the musical classic 'Somewhere', ahead of the genre-blending #1 'Your Woman' from White Town, and the atmospheric 'Out Of My Mind' from Duran Duran. Suede's plaintive 'Saturday Night' leads into three of the years' electronic dance music highlights: Orbital provided the theme to the remake of 'The Saint', Moby with his re-imagining of the classic film-series theme: 'James Bond Theme (Moby's Re-Version)' and The Chemical Brothers with the massive 'Block Rockin' Beats' completing the side.Turn the LP over for the final side featuring the debut from All Saints with 'I Know Where It's At', and fabulous dance-pop from Whitney Houston with 'Step By Step', and both Ultra Naté and Dannii Minogue enjoyed euphoric hits with 'Free' and 'All I Wanna Do'. Pan-European smash 'Encore Une Fois' from Sash! is followed by Ricky Martin's global success 'María'. but the final word on the collection goes to Elton John. His superb 'Something About The Way You Look Tonight' was one half of the biggest selling single of - not only 1997 - but of all time and ends the collection on a perfect pop high. 'NOW - Yearbook 1997': A celebration of the diversity and creativity in the charts of a truly magical year in pop.
