Fantastic no1 and also brillant to see The Pogues in the top 10 on its first year charting!!
I'd rather it be no1 but PSBs were huge then and the popular band wins out in the end and your a huge fan yourself I know. |

It's going to be interesting to see who does best in my all-time top 800 - PSB's had 2 big runs, but Pogues has hit loads of christmases |

27th December 1987
It's 2 weeks on top for Pet Shop Boys in a very quiet post-Xmas chart, just a top 10 move for Cher - her first solo top 10 since Dark Lady in 1974 - and Taylor Dayne debuts inside the 10 too. New Order get the biggest climber to the top 30, Climie Fisher get the biggest climber in the chart, to 39, for a second top 40, and the highest new entry is Heart, There's The Girl. Other newies: Roger Waters gets a solo non-Floyd track, 8 years since topping with Another Brick, The Stranglers cover The Kinks, Billy Idol returns with Hot In The City, U2 get a 4th track off the Joshua Tree, and Los Lobos cover Ritchie Valens again, this time Donna some months after the original was reissued. In my playlist I was into Roy Orbison and Abba, beating the future chart-topping hits albums. 1 ( 1 ) ALWAYS ON MY MIND Pet Shop Boys 2 ( 2 ) HELLO GOODBYE The Beatles 3 ( 3 ) SHAME Eurythmics 4 ( 5 ) I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU Dusty Springfield 5 ( 4 ) THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL Michael Jackson 6 ( 16 ) I FOUND SOMEONE Cher 7 ( 7 ) FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl 8 ( 8 ) WHEN I FALL IN LOVE Nat ‘King’ Cole 9 ( 6 ) FAMILY MAN Fleetwood Mac 10 ( 17 ) TELL IT TO MY HEART Taylor Dayne 11 ( 14 ) LETTER FROM AMERICA The Proclaimers 12 ( 12 ) ESP The Bee Gees 13 ( 9 ) LOVE LETTERS Alison Moyet 14 ( 10 ) LITTLE LIES Fleetwood Mac 15 ( 15 ) LET ME BE THE ONE/ (REMIX) Expose 16 ( 19 ) THE LOOK OF LOVE Madonna 17 ( 11 ) ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE Mel (Smith) & Kim (Wilde) 18 ( 20 ) JINGO Jellybean 19 ( 13 ) YOU WIN AGAIN The Bee Gees 20 ( 23 ) HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH Belinda Carlisle 21 ( 29 ) IDEAL WORLD The Christians 22 ( 26 ) TURN BACK THE CLOCK Johnny Hates Jazz 23 ( 34 ) HOUSE ARREST Krush 24 ( 18 ) WHO FOUND WHO Jellybean featuring Lisa Fiorillo 25 ( 27 ) TUNNEL OF LOVE Bruce Springsteen 26 ( 21 ) BAD Michael Jackson 27 ( 30 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 28 ( 36 ) EV’RY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE Simply Red 29 ( 22 ) CRITICIZE Alexander O’Neal 30 ( 54 ) TOUCHED BY THE HAND OF GOD New Order 31 ( 38 ) CHILDREN SAY Level 42 32 ( 28 ) I’VE BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE Cutting Crew 33 ( 24 ) THE ONE I LOVE R.E.M. 34 ( NEW ) THERE’S THE GIRL Heart 35 ( 37 ) ANGEL EYES Wet Wet Wet 36 ( 48 ) I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW Tiffany 37 ( 31 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 38 ( 58 ) TIGHTEN UP Wally Jump Junior & The Criminal Element 39 ( 70 ) RISE TO THE OCCASION Climie Fisher 40 ( 35 ) KID (REMIX) The Pretenders 41 ( 40 ) RENT Pet Shop Boys 42 ( 45 ) PACKJAMMED (WITH THE PARTY POSSE) Stock Aitken Waterman 43 ( 25 ) I COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN Prince 44 ( 32 ) DEVIL’S BALL Double 45 ( NEW ) THE TIDE IS TURNING Roger Waters 46 ( 33 ) ONCE UPON A LONG AGO Paul McCartney 47 ( 41 ) PAID IN FULL Eric B & Rakim 48 ( 39 ) MONY MONY (US SINGLE VERSION/LIVE VERSION/HUNG LIKE A PONY REMIX) Billy Idol 49 ( 44 ) GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU George Harrison 50 ( 50 ) JUST TO GET BY Babakoto 51 ( 51 ) FAMILY AFFAIR/RUNNIN’ AWAY Sly & The Family Stone 52 ( NEW ) ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT The Stranglers 53 ( 52 ) CARS (E REG MODEL)/ ARE ‘FRIENDS’ ELECTRIC Gary Numan & Tubeway Army 54 ( NEW ) HOT IN THE CITY Billy Idol 55 ( 55 ) PUMP UP THE VOLUME M/A/R/R/S 56 ( 56 ) MY BAG Lloyd Cole & The Commotions 57 ( 49 ) CHINA IN YOUR HAND T’Pau 58 ( 66 ) I CAN’T HELP IT Bananarama 59 ( 59 ) NEED YOU TONIGHT INXS 60 ( 60 ) WHEN I FALL IN LOVE Rick Astley 61 ( 63 ) LOVE POWER Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osbourne 62 ( 72 ) LAST NIGHT I DREAMT SOMEBODY LOVES ME The Smiths 63 ( 57 ) I SAY NOTHING Voice Of The Beehive 64 ( 64 ) ROCK AND ROLL PART 3 Gary Glitter 65 ( 67 ) ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE The Beatles 66 ( NEW ) IN GOD’S COUNTRY U2 67 ( 62 ) HERE I GO AGAIN Whitesnake 68 ( 68 ) HUMAN Human League 69 ( 69 ) HOLIDAY The Other Ones 70 ( 46 ) (I’VE HAD THE) TIME OF MY LIFE Jennifer Warnes & Bill Medley 71 ( 53 ) WHAT DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THOSE EYES AT ME FOR?

nice to see Heart as highest entry, loved There's the Girl, great single that should have done better even if it wasn't a ballad, sure it's not on the same level as Alone but it's still a great track... also liked In God's Country, was it a US single?
also liked all those climbers, Cher, Taylor Dayne, Belinda Carlisle, Johnny Hates Jazz, Christians and Krush |

It was plugging a new live album and the big hits had been drying up gradually, so I guess it was a move away from the post-Golden Brown radio-friendly singles to remind everyone of their punk roots. I liked both versions of The Stranglers and I like acts to be unpredictable so I was on board - plus it's a great Kinks song |

As vinyl died in the US, cd singles took over for a while, but even they eventually died out and only maxi-singles were issued - mainly dance remixes - or cheaper teen-aimed cardboard-sleeve singles. Once US record labels stopped releasing singles to push album sales (which was a huge success, some terrible albums sold in bucketloads just for one unreleased track) and the US singles chart was adjusted to allow album tracks to chart, it was the death knell for singles until downloading came along. I bought loads of cd maxi-single rarities on holiday from the likes of Prince, Erasure, Depeche Mode so was sad to see them go for the most-part. |

it's surprising that U2 didn't milk The Joshua Tree more in the UK and stopped after 3 singles
besides In Gods Country, Bullet the Blue Sky and Running to Stand Still were all single material and possibly better than anything they've done post-1993 at that time I wasn't a big U2 fan yet, maybe I was too young, took me a few years to appreciate the album |

Easily U2's best album by far without a duff track. |

8th September 1987 1 ( 2 ) SUGAR SUGAR (CANDYFLOSS MIX)/(ORIGINAL VERSION) The Archies 2 ( 1 ) WHAT HAVE I DONE (TO DESERVE THIS) Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield 3 ( 4 ) HEART AND SOUL T’Pau 4 ( 3 ) NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP Rick Astley Kristina Ivanova (my favourite lady from YVA) was born 6th September 1987. Honestly I wanted to see PSB and Dusty or Rick Astley (like in official UK chart) at # 1 on that signature week. This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: 24th October 2020, 04:09 PM |

Honestly I wanted to see PSB and Dusty or Rick Astley (like in official UK chart) at # 1 on that signature week. ah well, Pet Shop Boys was still the top NEW track of that week, so that sort of over-rides oldies when you go back and retro-review "Songs of 1987", oldies always get shifted back to the year they came out for me ("Songs Of 1969" in this case) |
