List of 100 Grand International number-one songs of 1997

The 100 Grand International is a chart that ranks the best-performing international songs in Valstrath. Its data, published by The Grand magazine and compiled by Tiescon SoundScan, is based collectively on each song's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as the amount of airplay received on Valstrathian radio stations and streaming on online digital music outlets.
During 1997, nineteen singles reached number one on the 100 Grand; a twentieth and a twenty-first single, "No Diggity" by Blackstreet ft. Dr. Dre and "Ready Or Not" by Fugees, began their run at number one in 1996. In total, eighteen acts topped the chart as either lead or featured artists, with twelve—No Doubt, Jamiroquai, Spice Girls, Local H, Hanson, Meredith Brooks, Days Of The New, Matchbox Twenty, Backstreet Boys, Aqua, Foo Fighters and The Verve—achieving their first 100 Grand number-one single.
The longest running number one song of the year was "Everlong" by Foo Fighters, that led the charts for a total of six weeks. "Ready Or Not" by Fugees held the number-one spot for ten weeks, but only four of those were in 1997, so it's not officially counted, however, the song still topped the Year-End 100 Grand.
Soundgarden was the only act to have multiple number-one songs in 1997, with two: "Burden In My Hand" and "Blow Up The Outside World".
