The 1988 - 1989 Billboard Pop Chart

A few years ago (when I was all Napster crazy, downloading anything and everything excited) I set out - with the aid of the Billboard charts - to compile a list of as many songs as I could, roughly from the fall 1988 through spring 1989. Mind you this list was to be all inclusive and not limited to songs I only liked. This list is by no means complete and I can't recall if I ever made it through to the summer. I'm too lazy to type it all out, so I took a few screen caps of the play list.This is what I came up with:






Only one Prince song! lol

Yeah, there's a lot of bad in there. Lots of power ballads in there, too. smile That said, Sweet Child O' Mine is one of my fave songs ever, so its' got that going for it. Now about that Baby I Love Your Way remake...

Since you copped to it, I will sheepishly admit that I do like that Huey Lewis single. lol Did you audition for the Arsenio Hall cameo in the video for Straight Up?

No, because my brother had it. I used to listen to it all the time, though. "Oh Father" made me a fan!

Nothing to be sheepish about. They did some good simple fun Pop tunes.
They weren't trying to hard, heavy or hip.
(You do know that it's Hip to be Square don't you?) wink

It's seems they were trying to up their game a bit with the...



...Small World album.

Couldn't understand the Hall/Abdul connection for the life of me.
I guess that was an early insight into her later lunacy but she was so fine back then I chose to ignore it.
Yeah, it should have been me. smile
