In the 1988 topic, I gave a subtle hint as to which song I'd vote for, and "Alone" by Heart is the winner. I compiled a Top 100 of 1987 quite a few years back and I used the song's entire chart run and, in the case of holdovers from 1986 and into 1988, the year in which a song would be ranked was the year in which the song gained the most points. "Faith" by George Michael was the biggest holdover song on the 1988 chart, but "Alone" by Heart and "I Wanna Dance..." by Whitney Houston gained more points. And, since I didn't give extra points for weeks at #1, "Alone" was the winner for the year 1987. Thus, I chose it as #1 song of that year.

As for 1986, well, I'll have to think about it.
