A much better 1998
In Jeff's recent retrohump post (the Cardigans), he posted a link to the top 40 songs of 1998. Mylordsisitbad. Going through iTunes (on my laptop, which does not have my full music collection), I think I can come up with a better list. Keep in mind - I'm operating under the premise that these would have to be "radio" songs (sorry Neutral Milk Hotel). What would you add?
Everything is Everything - Lauryn Hill
Sylvie - St. Etienne
Kelly Watch the Stars - Air (or any of the first three songs from Moon Safari)
Angel - Massive Attack
Simple Things - Belle & Sebastian
The Sea - Morcheeba
Malibu - Hole
Wonderful Life - Black Box Recorder
Goddess on the Highway - Mercury Rev
Life in Mono - Mono
Respiration - Blackstar
We Are the Boys - Pulp
A Question Mark - Elliott Smith
Tumbling Down - Venus In Furs Sndtrk.
April Fools - Rufus Wainwright

Nice list. I would add: Ash: "Jesus Says," Garbage "Push It," Lucinda Williams: "2 Kool 2B 4-Gotten"

"King of Carrot Flowers pt. 1" and "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" received tons of airplay on KLSU.
