I dated this Latina at the time who was lost in emotion

Wow what a great year for top 40. I had a dubbed cassette with "License to Ill" on one side and "Invisible Touch" on the other, that's what kind of year 1987 was.

and the weirdness of my home girl Gloria Estefan's "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" isn't discussed enough

^ me too, but i'm not really feeling these songs so much. there are some good ones there, but the only really great one to me is "Fight For Your Right." I like "Valerie" as well but not the 1987 remix.

xpost The Hague for 87 is a particularly dire list of tunes. Seems worse - quantity and lack of quality - than previous years.

Very few issues with Alfred's ranking as opposed to the '86 one - Bon Jovi undervalued again, and I'd put "Right on Track" and "Sign o' the Times" in the highest category. What really jumps out to me is how many I don't know - esp those in the 'meh' category. I was 15 and a 24/7 radio listener at the time, so it must be a US-Europe thing.

"Right On Track" would be in good to great today.

Hurrah!
Just had a look at the Dutch top 10s, and yes, it was a very different year here. Mel & Kim, "Pump up the Volume", Sabrina's "Boys", the original Rickroll, LL's "I Need Love", and a handful of Terence Trent D'Arby singles. Oh, and "Crockett's Theme" by Jan Hammer...

Just the #1s, see.

I'm surprised to realize how few of these outside of your 'good to great' I have much time for. I guess we still have a little way to go until we witness the crystalline perfection achieved by the pop music of the PB Interzone.

Can’t believe “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” is from ’87(!) Belinda was my first big “celebrity crush,” and I thought I was younger at the time... :/
