I went back to find out the top 100 Billboard songs in 1987 (the year I graduated from high school). You can find the list for 1987 here along with all other years by changing the year at the end of the url.
I have to admit that not a lot of these songs were my favorites (I am much more into New Wave songs, compared to this list) but it was fun going back to see what people were listening to way back then. :)
The top 10 songs were
1. Walk Like an Egyptian, Bangles
2. Alone, Heart
3. Shake You Down, Gregory Abbott
4. I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Whitney Houston
5. Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, Starship
6. C’est la vie, Robbie Nevil
7. Here I go Again, Whitesnake
8. The Way It Is, Bruce Hornsby and the Range
9. Shakedown, Bob Seger
10. Livin’ on a Prayer, Bon Jovi
I would have to say that apart from the first song on this list the rest do nothing for me.
How about yourself? What were the top Billboard hits the year you graduated? Do you like any of them? Hopefuly you'll bad more than the .100 average I did.
