August 9, 200816 yr something of a so-so chart. A lot of music from 1987 just hasn't stood the test of time that well, for me. Part of the problem is that a lot of songs from then sound dated and / or tired. That said, I like the following 3 5 Heart - Alone - a bit overplayed over the years but still a decent song 6 13 Hue And Cry - Labour Of Love - this song reminds me of The (Old) Swan pub on Kensington Church Street in London W8 - they had a video jukebox and this song always seemed to be on. 7 19 New Order - True Faith - quite the song back in the day and still good 16 34 Def Leppard - Animal - another song with a video that I remember from The Swan 17 30 Stock Aitken Waterman - Roadblock - before they became the butt of a thousand jokes, this was quite a credible club song 21 11 Terence Trent D'Arby - Wishing Well 25 20 The Gap Band - Oops Upside Your Head {1987} - preferred the 1980 original but still OK 27 15 Black - Sweetest Smile - miserable sounding voice but the song was good 31 43 Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Little Mystery - another song that reminds me of The Swan, probably this more than any of the others as the video was on all the time. The song was irritating after a while but it reminds me of drunken nights! 32 Ne Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up - good at the time, catchy... 33 21 Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) 38 23 Kenny G - Songbird - nice instrumental 39 46 Sherrick - Just Call - liked this at the time 44 37 Whitesnake - Is This Love - another song that was played on the video jukebox at The Swan, the video looks over the top these days, all white teeth and poodle perms... 45 53 Then Jerico - The Motive - loved this song, they never fulfilled their promise. 50 40 John Farnham - You're The Voice - alternates between being annoying and sing out loud brilliant!
August 9, 200816 yr the album chart for 08/08/87 wasn't very inspirational either... 01 01 03 Hits 6 - Various Artists 02 02 03 Introducing The Hardline According To… - Terence Trent D'Arby 03 05 21 The Joshua Tree - U2 04 06 05 Sixties Mix - Various Artists 05 04 02 Who's That Girl - Original Soundtrack 06 03 09 Whitney - Whitney Houston 07 09 10 Bad Animals - Heart 08 07 60 Invisible Touch - Genesis 09 10 16 FLM - Mel And Kim 10 NE 01 Hearsay - Alexander O'Neal 11 11 14 Keep Your Distance - Curiosity Killed The Cat 12 08 17 The Return Of Bruno - Bruce Willis 13 13 28 License To Ill - Beastie Boys 14 12 57 True Blue - Madonna 15 15 10 Live In The City Of Light - Simple Minds 16 16 14 Solitude Standing - Suzanne Vega 17 17 06 Clutching At Straws - Marillion 18 14 12 It's Better To Travel - Swing Out Sister 19 NE 01 The Def Jam Sampler Volume 1 - Various Artists 20 20 10 Atlantic Soul Classics - Various Artists
August 9, 200816 yr I like: 3 5 Heart - Alone 6 13 Hue And Cry - Labour Of Love 7 19 New Order - True Faith 9 7 Boogie Box High - Jive Talkin' - George Michael in disguise covering the Bee Gees standard. zy9DkNkMKnc 11 4 Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin 15 14 Bananarama - I Heard A Rumour 16 34 Def Leppard - Animal 17 30 Stock Aitken Waterman - Roadblock 24 22 Marillion - Sugar Mice 27 15 Black - Sweetest Smile - Whilst Wonderful Life has become a classic, this track seems to have been forgotten. 5_k3XCb_rWQ 30 17 A-ha - The Living Daylights 32 Ne Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up 33 21 Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) 34 24 Boy George - Sold 37 57 Echo & The Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar 40 26 Cliff Richard - My Pretty One 42 72 Wax - Bridge To Your Heart - Andrew Gold & Graham Gouldman delivered this happy bouncy & ridiculousy catchy track. E0g5gKp2BHg 45 53 Then Jerico - The Motive Nowhere near as good as 1984.
