Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia spent 12 weeks at number one with " Torn", Canada's best-performing single of 1998.

RPM was a Canadian magazine that published the best-performing singles of Canada from 1964 to 2000. In 1998, fifteen songs peaked at number one on the magazine's chart. Chumbawamba's " Tubthumping" was the first chart-topper of the year while Canadian musician Alanis Morissette stayed at number one into 1999 with " Thank U". Seven musical acts attained their first Canadian number one this year: Matchbox Twenty, Natalie Imbruglia, Fastball, Goo Goo Dolls, Brandy, Monica, and Jennifer Paige. Two artists reached number one with more than one single: Bryan Adams and Goo Goo Dolls.

The most successful song of the year, as well as the longest-running number-one hit, was " Torn" by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia, which spent 12 nonconsecutive weeks at number one from April to July, interrupted on the week of 15 June by Fastball's " The Way". Two other songs also interrupted a single's reign at number one: " 3 AM" by Matchbox Twenty kept Bryan Adams' " Back to You" off number one for two weeks, and " Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls lost the number-one position on the issue of 17 August to Brandy and Monica's " The Boy Is Mine".

Three Canadian artists reached number one during 1998: Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, and Alanis Morissette. Dion topped the chart for six weeks with " My Heart Will Go On". Besides "Torn" and "My Heart Will Go On", five songs stayed at the summit for at least three weeks: "Back to You" by Bryan Adams, "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls, " Crush" by Jennifer Paige, " Sweetest Thing" by U2, and "Thank U" by Alanis Morissette. Goo Goo Dolls' " Slide" became only the third single to debut at number one on the RPM Singles Chart, not counting the magazine's first issue. [1] [2]
