A lot of good songs on this list. The Pop charts were still very versatile back then. You had, Hard Rock, Synthpop, Dance Pop, New Wave and even Miami Freestyle. Definitely doing this one.

Billboard's Top Songs of 1987
Going to launch this now because I want to be done this reveal by early-September to move onto 1983 and then 1988 before the year is up...
Seeing as though this is a big rankdown with 100 songs I am going to make the deadline for this September 1, 2018.
1. Inverse Point system will be used (i.e. rank singles 1-100).
2. You must rank all the singles (if there's a remix you prefer, you can use that for your ranking instead, you don't have to specify whether you did)
3. PM me your rankings. Please do not use numbers. I will know the first song on your list is No. 1 and so on...it makes it easier for me when I spreadsheet it.
4. Submissions will be due by September 1, 2018.
5. Manage your time wisely please. Deadlines are deadlines. I will send plenty of reminders, don't worry...

This is gonna be REALLY hard. There's like 30 songs at least that are top 5 contenders for me. A good amount of my top '86 favorites are actually on this list. My #100 was selected way in advance, and other spots in my bottom 10 should be easy to fill as well. Also one of my few true guilty pleasures is on this, and no Red, it's not Will You Still Love Me? |

Looking back, 1987 is when my taste in music first began to diversify. There are plenty of songs not featured on this rankdown that I'm a huge fan of, and they span across all genres too: pop, rock, rap, dance, new-wave, and even a couple of country songs too.

1987 was when Pop was beginning to change a bit, but there was still plenty of loud and fun songs for me to go out and buy in 45' single format. Samantha Fox will be extra high on my list, for this was also a big #1 while I was in Europe.
