The Top Hits In 1987.......2005-02-02

These are all power songs from 1987. Each listener has his/her own favorites. My top three are: Heaven Is A Place On Earth, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, and The Lady In Red.

1987 is getting a little stale.......2002-08-10

Though '87 was another excellent year, this is where it started to lack variety and where some of the big hitmakers from earlier in the decade (Laura Branigan, Loverboy, Cars) were either in a lull or were fading altogether. This is mostly sufficient for its one-hit wonder songs.

Kim Wilde's "You Keep me Hangin' On" is an underplayed radio song, seems like an older Debbie Gibson. Starship's last big one "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us", Billy Vera's soulful "At This Moment", Bananarama's happy "I Heard A Rumor" (one of their 3 hits) and Crowded House's perfect pop of "Don't Dream It's Over" are the high points.

Ex Go-Go Belinda Carlisle's best solo song, the laid-back but confident "Heaven is A Place On Earth" and U2's "With or Without You" are also worth buying this for. Aretha Franklin's last big hit "I Knew You were Waiting" is fair, but the others are throwaways. Robbie Nevil's "C La Vie" sounds like unintelligible dance music and Chris DeBurgh's wimpy "Lady In Red" is a headache.

1987.......2002-07-29

I don't think this is a good collection of 1987 music because it is missing George Michael, Tiffany, and many other top songs of 1987. I like a few songs on here such as 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and "C'Est la Vie" but the rest is just rubbish and easily disposable music just skip this Cd in the series and go to 1988.

It's About The Biggest Sellers, Folks..........2001-06-17

I've noticed in one review here that someone was complaining about what's NOT on here. See, Billboard is about sales/airplay, so if your favorite hair band or rap group didn't have one of the 10 or 20 biggest hits of that particular year, they ain't going to be on this collection. Having said that, this is pretty representative of what was big on the pop charts that year. If you're looking for hard rock or rap, this wouldn't be where you should look for it in the first place.
