The last of 1997, and if you think some of the big hits are being held over until next time...you'd be right. But the nation was in NO MOOD for pop party fun as - sob! bawl! - DI DIED, and weren't we all glad that Sir Richard Ashcroft was there to help us through it. There's no sign of Elton on this Now, by the way, even though he bossed the charts - to sully such a beautiful track by including it on a compilation would of course be unthinkable, so you'll have to save your ticks.

Hanson's "Mmmmbop" won Now 37 at a canter, after tying with the Spice Girls for a long time. The Cardigans ended up in third. And now, over to you lot.

Why does nobody remember Tina Moore? This track is fantastic - it effectively triggered both Speed Garage AND 2 Step. I despair agane.

It is weird that people remember Gala with ease but not Tina Moore.

Hurrah! I really have no recollection of it at all, how odd.

Sweet Like Chocolate! Another good thing round the corner.

Never gonna let you go
cos you're MOI BAABY
worth more than a million in gold (i'm tellin u boy)
now that you're back
i'll never let you go
(can't remember the last line of the chorus)

the looped 'ohhohhhhohhhh' vocal bit was sampled on Double 99's 'RIP Groove' which curiously came out before the Tina Moore original. 'RIP Groove' was the biggest dance track of this year (Gala suffered from lack of 'cred' alas, but the mysterious Mr Jack did alleviate this somewhat with his Club mix yes yes oh yay)
