A look back at some of the biggest hits of 1998, courtesy of the extensive Top of the Pops back catalogue.

Film soundtracks dominated the charts with Céline Dion’s My Heart Will Go On breaking records and hearts, and Aerosmith’s power ballad I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing gaining the band their first and only US No 1 single. Debut artists stunned the charts with Usher, Billie Piper, B*Witched, The Corrs, Cleopatra and Leann Rimes all earning their first performances on the Top of the Pops stages. Robbie Williams proved he would always entertain us, and Cher’s auto-tune iconic Believe became the best-selling single of all time by a female artist, performed live in Elstree. Add in a bittersweet ballad from Green Day, an unofficial football anthem from Fat Les and many more.

Featuring Robbie Williams, Mousse T. v Hot 'n' Juicy, Catatonia, Jay-Z, B*Witched, Cher, Five, Steps, Fat Les, Aerosmith, The Corrs, Cleopatra, Savage Garden, Leann Rimes, The Mavericks, Celine Dion, Cornershop, Green Day, The Cardigans, Usher, Eagle-Eye Cherry, and Pras Michel.
