American Top 40, June 26, 1986

Winding down into the last days of my June project, and hits are geting fewer and fewer.....  Today is June 26, what was on the charts this week in 1986?

1. On My Own - Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald
2. There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry) - Billy Ocean
3. Crush On You - Jets
4. Live To Tell - Madonna
5. I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz

 OK, 1986 is the fisrst year of this experiment where I don’t recognize any of the top 5 songs…. Not a good sign! In the rest of the Top 40? A few good songs, but nothing too significant ….

 

• Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel #15
• Tuff Enuff - Fabulous Thunderbirds #16
• Invisible Touch - Genesis #17
• All I Need Is A Miracle - Mike + The Mechanics #19
• Your Wildest Dreams - Moody Blues #21

And below the top 40? A little trouble finding 5 that I wanted to mention. In fact, I’ll leave it at 4:

 

• Addicted To Love - Robert Palmer #49
• Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen #59
• Higher Love - Steve Winwood #62
• Rough Boy - ZZ Top #83
