This is a list of the number-one singles of 1997 in Italy. Musica e dischi , the oldest music industry publication in Italy, had published the record chart since 1960, ranking the weekly best-selling singles in the country. [1] The Musica e dischi chart was regularly featured on the Hits of the World section of Billboard magazine in the United States, as well as pan-European music industry publication Music & Media . In January 1997, the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana (FIMI) started its own chart, which replaced Musica e dischi's as the official Italian singles chart. [2] [3]
