American Top 40, June 27, 1987

June 27th, we're looking at pop music this week in 1987.  My first daughter was not quite 3 months old, I wasn’t listening to much radio… As with 1986 (yesterday) I don’t immediately recognize any of the Top 5 songs from this week in 1987…  After you-yubing, I'm pretty sure I've heart the Heart song, but that's it.

 

1. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston
2. Head To Toe - Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam
3. In Too Deep - Genesis
4. Alone - Heart
5. Always - Atlantic Starr

But not too bad in the rest of the Top 40:

• Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi #10
• Every Little Kiss - Bruce Hornsby #18
• Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue #19
• Jammin' Me - Tom Petty #32
• With Or Without You - U2 #38

 Below the Top 40? Ugh. Seems there’s a reason I stopped listening to the radio…. Here’s two that aren't horrible:

•  Back In The High Life - Steve Winwood #43
• Since You've Been Gone - Outfield #60
