World Chart Airplay 🌎Top 50 of November 1998

NOVEMBER 1998 — a month of powerful new hits, emotional ballads, and club anthems 🌟. This chart is packed with surprises from start to finish — so let’s go from #50 all the way up to #1 and see which song ruled the world this month! 🎧✨

We start with a wave of exciting new entries 🌍. From the UK, legendary DJ Fatboy Slim brings pure dancefloor energy with “Gangster Tripping”, while M People return with their groovy “Testify”. “If You Could Read My Mind”, a beautiful dance collaboration between Ultra Naté, Amber & Jocelyn Enriquez, lands strong at #43, and the ever-quirky Barenaked Ladies climb back in with “One Week” 🇨🇦.

From the US, “Lullaby” by Shawn Mullins brings acoustic tenderness 🎸, while country queen Faith Hill charms at #39 with her uplifting “This Kiss”. Meanwhile, the masterful Depeche Mode deliver their moody “Only When I Lose Myself” — a synth-pop gem.

Pop fans are spoiled this month! 🎤 The magical duet “I’m Your Angel” by Celine Dion & R. Kelly floats in at #41, while irish pop wonders B*Witched bring fun and bounce with “Rollercoaster”. “Top Of The World” by Brandy feat. Mase mixes R&B and hip hop with style, and Cher makes an epic comeback with the soon-to-be global smash “Believe” — a pop revolution in the making! ✨

There’s more magic from Europe: “Smoke” by the talented Natalie Imbruglia (#36), “The Power Of Goodbye” by Madonna (#28), and “Zora Sourit”, a heartfelt French single by Celine Dion, bringing sophistication and depth 🇫🇷.

On the alternative & rock front 🎸, R.E.M.‘s “Daysleeper” lands at #20 with haunting beauty, while Garbage rocks in with “Special” and Jamiroquai‘s funky “Deeper Underground” keeps us grooving. At #16, Manic Street Preachers offer their powerful anthem “If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next” — a bold political statement set to music.

R&B and Hip Hop are shining this month too ✨. The legendary “Doo Wop (That Thing)” by Lauryn Hill makes a strong debut at #27, while Monica and Brandy are still riding high with “The First Night” and “The Boy Is Mine”. Plus, “Bootie Call” by All Saints and “Everybody Get Up” by Five bring fun and energy to the dancefloor 🕺.

As we move to the very top of the chart 🔝, we see huge climbers and beloved favorites: “True Colors” by the great Phil Collins (#6), “My Favorite Mistake” by the ever-soulful Sheryl Crow (#5), and “Thank U” by the deeply honest Alanis Morissette (#4) — each track offering pure emotion and authenticity.

At #3, the delightful “Crush” by Jennifer Paige continues to charm listeners worldwide 💖. Then at #2, a massive surprise: George Michael‘s “Outside” skyrockets after its debut last month — a cheeky, funky track that got everyone talking.

And finally… sitting at #1 this month 🏆 — the charismatic, unstoppable Robbie Williams with “Millennium”! 🌟 With its lush orchestration, catchy hooks, and pure charisma, it’s no wonder this anthem claims the crown. A true moment for UK pop — and a song we’ll never forget 🎤✨.
