  • but....wheres Gucci&Jeezy and Niki Minaj...and WHY are there WHITE people singing songs-Isnt that racist or anti-semetic or somthing?and what are those things they're using?are they instruments?...where are the songs bout gettin the money and drugs?

  • Michael Jackson's the KING OF POP. Always! =D

  • What about Rick Astley? His infamous song that started "rickrolling" was number 1 in August 1987!

  • @queenlilly31687 It only hit #1 in August 1987 in the UK! My videos explicitly state at the beginning & end of each video that these #1 videos are based on the U.S. Billboard chart. My video descriptions also make reference to these songs topping the charts in the U.S. All people from other countries should pay attention to that, as songs often peaked at different times in different countries, and had different peak positions. Rick's song did peak at #1 in the U.S in 1988 ;)

  • Absolutely loved "Who's That Girl" then and still love it now, both song AND movie.

  • it amazes me that the guy took the time to put together these awesome videos and all anyone can do is constantly challenge every song on every vid. just appreciate the videos and shut up!  he clearly knows what he is doing. he got you to this page..

  • Every so often there is a run of just absolutley wonderful music and this happened to one of those periods when there was just a ton of great music released including many songs that did not hit #1. If you look at the Biollboard hot 100 for 1987 it is loaded with great music. Maybe some of the best from the 80's.

  • 1987 what a year.i had over 20 girls that year...))) bring back the good times!!!!

  • The end song fits perfectly.

  • Thank you for posting this, this is great

  • WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE ¬¬ GUNS N´ ROSES ALBUM APETIT FOR DESTRUCTION OCTOBER 3 1987

  • this was the best year of my life:)

  • I had to refinance my house in 1987 and 1995... not long enough of a break between the two LOL

  • I used to be jealous of my brother because he got to go to the rock concerts back in the 80s. He was lucky to have been a teenager back in that awesome decade.

  • The sad thing, I grew up in maine, and these were hits in 89 LOL

    I was huge into Debbie Gibson ..

  • There will never be so legendary songs again, it's the sad reality

  • MJ!!!!

    

  • i was born in 1987 !

  • Wish I'd been a teenager in the eighties. Bon Jovi concerts look like they would have been a fucky PARTY

  • no hay una de 2011 hahahaha

  • Bob Sager "Shakedown" is my jam

  • "LIvin' On a Prayer" is still not old at all, still playing at clubs like crazy.

  • Sounds like a fabulous year for music... except for all the white trash rock LOL

  • THANK YOU so much for these year by year #1 lists!

  • I have to say... why in the WORLD did that "At This Moment" become a #1 hit? Could be a good song but no rhythm... and no video!

    Anyway who were those men in Madonna's Open Your Heart video?

  • Awesome compilation and very well done on the editing

  • Living on a prayer was 1986

  • @Michaelloves80smusic "Living On A Prayer" hit #1 February 14, 1987, and this video is literal representation of when songs hit #1, it's not based on when songs were first recorded or released ;)

  • Bad Boys: Inner Circle?

  • Madonna Madonna Madonna ..... love her

  • @champster6288 Who IS that girl? To find out call 1-ABC-DEF-GHIJ for hours and locations left in your area

  • Open Your Heart... the first song I heard when I moved from Mexico to Houston, Livin on A Prayer I was running a hospital's oxygen system, I Knew You Were Waiting I was at an Acme employees reunion, I Wanna Dance with Somebody I was a pharmacist, Alone I was running a music box and collectibles shop, I Think We're Alone Now I smuggled a Dodge Daytona to Australia, and Time of My Life I was running a floral gift shop in NJ

  • This reminds me of my first car I bought in 87'....1972 Buick Electra that was painted green with a paint brush, wiring was messed up, it had a toggle switch for the headlights :D....the 455 ran great though, and that's all I cared.

    I paid 200 dollars for it....yah! :D

    *Sigh* I miss those days.

  • Great video, brings back memories. Thanks for sharing!

  • "Who's That Girl"

  • Stop Billy Vera. I'm taking a chicken nugget to cut my wrists meanwhile I listen your song.

  • Los Lobos was singing their song near my favorite ride ever, the Sky Diver! =)

  • This is my year!

  • sooooo with one of this song my fathers make me,  im 23 now

  • @NitzMr88 Im think you should look at 1986)

  • lol i love madonna she so great

  • 6:34--- THAT WAS MY FAVORITE FUCKING VIDEO EVER FROM 1987.  I WAS ONLY FREAKIN' 6 YEARS OLD.

  • 1987-1988 are my FAVORITE YEARS OF WATCHING MTV. NOW LOOK AT MTV?????????? STUPID RETARDED CHANNEL NOWADAYS!!!

  • I LOVE this video. Please make more (1994 through 2000)

    .

    Thanks :-)

  • What is with the creepy kids in Belinda Carlisle's video, holding the globes, black masks on...creepy.

  • I loved 1987

  • @ljh619 Yeah I know how u feel, me too.

  • weather seemed so cold late 1987, having a nice car was important and i did have a nice car, people of all ages were more mature-acting and less ragged out. drugs were out, getting ahead in life was in. people were attractive and not aggressive to each other and you cared what other people thought of you.

    music was ruined by 1999 for me and it was people like eminem, justin timberlake, beyonce and mariah carey who ruined it. they are all so friggin nasty too but get called attractive.

  • @The096757 REAL TALK!!!!!! I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY FRIEND!!!!! YEAH, PEOPLE NOWADAYS ARE FAKE, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY AND I'M ONLY 30.

  • heart, grace slick and stevie nicks did some of these best music in the 1980s. it was a great time for rocker women and not hip hop hags.

    you could not go into a store 1983-1989 without seeing someone who was drop dead gorgeous. now look how ugly people are now. some of it is the way they dress and bad attitude most of it is bad genes.

    1981-1982 was not very good for music with some exceptions. home videos are the best way to see how people dressed not goofy hollywood movies.

  • @The096757 If it wasn't for this horrible, annoying Technology Electronic world we've been living and dealing with it for the last 10 years, then we would've been still in the 80s-early 90s world today.

  • lean on me was pig shit. the worst song before hip hop polluted america's music.

    the huey lewis song was heard in 1986. "alone" from heart was the best # 1 hit of 1987

  • @The096757 Hardly, Hip Hop didn't destroy music, the way music execs presenting music now a days is destroying music. Hip Hop, like any other genre of music, can be positive and have a message depending on the artist(s), like the Fugees or Arrested Development. It's just the music industry is not so much about discovering that next big talent but creating a popular image.

  • Forgot how much U2 really sucks.

  • Heard an acoustic of "Here I go again" on the radio, the other day. Good stuff.

  • Weakest of those hits were "Cant stop loving you", "Shakedown", "Who's that girl", "Faith", and "Still havent found what I'm looking for". The rest pretty much rocked though.

  • @don417 The fact is, I made a video of songs that "hit" #1 in 1987, not anything else. I had no intention of being redundant with songs that carried over from the previous year, unless that song was #1 for more than 2 weeks in the following year. Anyone who wants to see "Walk Like An Egyptian" can see it in the previous year, when it hit number one ;)

  • @don417 Because "Walk Like An Egyptian" hit number one in 1986... and stayed number one for the first couple weeks of 1987... A song doesn't "hit" number one twice unless it loses the #1 position and then regains it later... Nowhere does it say in the video (or elsewhere) that "Shake You Down" was "the first number one of the year"... it's just the first song to hit #1 in 1987.

  • @idolwatcher0 wow you really know everything about the charts,this is soo cute! :)

  • @don417 Yeah so quit being a dick and be grateful butt dart

  • Recordar es vivir.

  • It's weird how history has been kinder to some of these songs than others :)

  • damn this was the year i was born!

  • "i just can't stop, loving you....."

  • That year in music was awesome: I was 17 and I still remember how angry I was that Prince's "You Got The Look" peaked at number 2 (it so deserved to be No.1!). 

  • So the Starship song for the movie "Mannequin", Tiffany and Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam all made no. 1 but U2's Where the Streets Have No Name didn't? That's robbery.

  • @JamesonBondy Don't worry I don't think U2 is crying over this look at where their at compared to the people who stated.

  • Great upload idolwatcher0 :))

  • set me free why don't you baby !

    get out of my live why don't baby !

  • 1987 was an awesome year for music and mtv...1 was 15 and the summer of 1987 was perfect like no other summer ever was!!

  • 24 years ago....my god i am oooldd

  • I still haven't found what I'm looking for..:S

  • so this is the reason i like these songs. hmm 

  • I was born in 1987, and in spite of things being different here in Brazil 80's from the U.S., I really wanted to have been born between 1970 and 1972.

    Today would be with 40 which is almost 30 at the point of view of youth and would have enjoyed the 80's a lot...that was the best time.

    Having 24 years today is complicated .. = / We have to live with the kids and take a lot of shit.

  • Haha, EVERYONE played that "Always" song at their wedding! good times...it's funny how every generation thinks their music was the best. I was 16 in 1987, personally I think these songs are mostly cheeeezy but I still love the crap out of them.

  • @DEchoded Tell me about it!! I graduated high school and joined the army. Served 22 years. I guess you could say im already retired! From the Army, anyways! LOL!!!

  • I graduated high school in 1987. Awsome year!!!

  • I turned six in 1987, so I don't remember a whole lot. Except music and television, as far as what I liked to do... just being in kindergarten.

  • Alone (heart.).es el mejor temaso de 1987...y las mas aburridas son las de madonaaa...siempre tiene que estr estorbando...:/

  • God damn. Making a VERY strong case for the best 80's year. Very nice video man.

  • Why does youtube not post my comments??

  • oprah is at the very beginning of allways by atlantic star,3.50 time

  • love this time in my life!! wow what happened to the world??? and to great music???

  • Yep....and when MTV played Fucking Music....I could watch Videoz all day....

  • This was back when people still knew how to sing (re: Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, just to name a few). Now...smh...

  • Really, you made an amazing job on this one. It's just a whole lot of memories and good music. How come you haven't done the same yet for the year 1994 and the following ones ?

  • I was born in 87! hehe

  • it was a great year ...i was born in it

  • I was born in 87' it seems like people were felt more free to be themselves. Everyone is just trying to be the same person today..

  • @bsv628 In 1987, It was lovely days of my life. right time, I begun schooling in mogadishu, I hated too much listening in English songs since they were strange to me! after learning english, My mood changed and I found english songs my best favourite music ever!

  • 1987 still remains the best year of my life. Thanks for posting this walk through music memory lane. Bitch'n !

  • because I am BAD YOU KNOW it you know......finally george michael faith

    amazing song ...

  • I just can't stop lovin' you MJ R.I.P

  • @mjjforeverking yeah, i miss MICHAEL JACKSON as well. We are now , well the public is, that MICHAEL JACKSON would never have harmed a FLEA by his own drugged up words. He Loved CHILDREN but not in a way the media or accusors said he did. I always knew he was innocent of that behavior and his own words 6 weeks before he passed, he did tell the world why he loved children and what his plans were to help them in the future. WOW ! see media reports of trial for details. THANK YOU MJ. I LOVE U

  • The best year of music! Michael Jackson BAD album this year! The Beeeest!!!!!!

  • i was born in 76 so these were when i was almost a teen lol

  • this reminds me when you had to make mix tapes by recording songs off of the radio, and if you had a studio cassette tape you had to cover up the holes on the top

    with a peice of tape or something so you could record over them.

    Thumbs Up if you remember what Im talking about!!!

  • Class of `87!!! 80`s Forever,Forever 80`s!!! :-)

  • Thanks so much for the posting!

  • I was 16 in 1987. What a great time to grow up with music of this era. So many good memories. Anyone my age knows what I'm talking about. Wish I could go back.

  • @hawwkfan i was 17,just got my drivers license,cruisin around in my 69 chevelle ss...a different chick every nite,drag racing in philly,and south jersey,wow what fun that was.i am 40 now,4 kids big mortgage,rotten wife,55lbs.heavier,but i STILL HAVE THE CAR!!!!life is good!lol

  • @hawwkfan i was 15 in 87! probably one of the best years for music, i can't say it was for me personally! being as skinny as a toothpick, made fun of all the time, having to take so much medication, having to deal with having ADD, flunking a class in my freshman year. on the upside i think 87 was when New Kids On the Block first appeared, unknowns at the time, on Nickelodeon's Don't Just Sit There!

  • mmmmmmm..Belinda

  • @SheffieldTiger i swear i had a HUUUUUGEE crush on her! WOW! her smile definitely went from ear to ear!!! that had to be the BESTEST song from 87!!! so many good songs in this vid!! Loved Lean On Me, Open Your Heart, Alone, and even Faith! i was a BIG Chicago and Huey Lewis fan during the 80s! then along came Bon Jovi and Guns n Roses! i almost forgot about Huey!

  • O_O  WTH is Tiffany doing in the mix???

  • oh the good memories of hearing these when casey kasem had his top 40 show

    another AWESOME COLLECTION from u !

  • I love 1987 one of the best year of my life ...

  • holla to all the 1987 births, with or without you, i cant live

  • bon jovi and Heart rock

  • great songs all around, most of them anyway...

  • wow what a great year, mony mony and im bad, and living on a prayer, soooooooo good.

  • Huey Lewis + Bob Seger = Awesomeness

  • Remember the days, of listening to the top 40...with your blank tape all ready to record your fave song?/...hoping the dj wouldnt talk over the song u want to tape..lol..they were the days :D

  • @KiwiNicci lol! i did the same thing..

  • What great music that came out in this year the year i met the guy of my dreams and still with him todayyy <3

  • WHOO! white snake rock!

  • You know, I recently read a creepypasta about an abandoned mall. When the text said it had been popular in the 80's, I started thinking of Tiffany and "I Think We're Alone Now" started playing in my head. Kinda killed the creep factor.

  • My favorite music year

  • that belinda girl looks like uh whats her name oh kelly kapowski from saved by the bell

  • OH YEAH MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!!!

  • oh, 7th grade... so long ago...

  • Great music some wonderful hits.

  • Nancy was my teenage fantasy lol

  • Belinda Carlisle is so freaking gorgeous in that video.

  • I'm proud to be born in 1987

  • Comment removed

  • Words cannot describe Nancy Wilson's HOTNESS in the 80's.  My, oh my.

  • @ralphcardone Can words describe Grace Slick's hotness?

  • @ralphcardone who's Nancy Wilson?? I had forgotten how hot George Michael was!! Man he looked good back then... what a waste...

  • @cnith2 the blonde singer from Heart...

  • Comment removed

  • @cnith2 - The blonde guitarist in Heart. She and her sister Ann, the brunette singer, founded the group.

  • What ever happened to Gregory Abbott? or Billy Vera for that matter?

  • i knew your were waiting for me!!!! love that song, never liked george michael but he was good in that song!

  • I was 16 years old 1987...and it was amazing times. 80:s was a magic time. Im glad i was a teenager back then. Not only the music was better, everything was.

  • @skruad I agree. EVERYTHING WAS BETTER. I was only a small kid in the 80's, but it was like a beautiful dream I never want to wake up from. I was happy, I loved all the cartoons like He Man and Muppet Babies and Inspector Gadget. I also loved Small Wonder and Mr. Belvedere and Nintendo and o - take me back to the 80's! Why did they ever end ????

  • @skruad I wish. I was 6 and very jealous of all teenagers at that time. By the time I hit teens, did I get bright colors and pop music? no. I was served a heaping helping of grunge....which has its merits, but man, the 80s were the best.

  • @skruad well said.

    i wish i had a time machine to go back and enjoy Miami Vice once more

  • Who woulda thunk Lisa Lisa has got junk in the trunk

  • oh my god, this brings me to my schooldays, wow!! what a memories, thank u for share!!

  • so many great songs to choose from!

    1987 was a remarkable year!

  • Poor young people don't know that music actually was music once - Note the variety? Alll on one chart? And who can forget the hits that didn't make No. 1 like Don't Dream its Over, Smokin' Gun, Keep Your Hands To Yourself etc. etc.

    I think 1987 was something of the peak in the great decade of music.

  • @1967mustanggta I wholeheartedly agree. 1987 was a great year for music in general, and the watershed year for musical diversity! Go through this list! Outstanding...all of them.

  • Back When MJ was still black, Hahaha had to say it people.....

  • a melhor decada

  • John Bon Jovi is the best ;_)

  • damn i was born too late

  • U2 rules!!!!

    Damn Witney was beautiful!!!!

    Michael was awsome!!!

    And yes back then "I had the time of my life"!!!

    Heaven did feel like it was on earth for a while, up come the noughties and reality kicked in. I suppose I will never find what I'm looking for. Here I go again, living on a prayer and lost in emotion. I know... I'm bad.

  • i was 10 in 87 great vid

  • I need to get a webcam and put a few on here (after making sure copyright is 100% secured of course).

  • Hey guys, I've got a bunch of songs -- just my six-string and I. Right now they are probably best termed Folk/Yankee Country, but like I said, at this point it's just me singing and finger-picking... so they could really be produced to fit any genre... except maybe rap. So I'll do a few in pop, a few in rock, maybe hire Metallica to back me up on one (ROFL), bring some reggae magic to one... etc. hehe. That is to say, I can help pbring the '80s penchant for multiple genres back to life! hehe

  • Seb73astiaan- All teeneagers now a days dress just like they used to in the 80s the only difference is that now they listen to techno and maybe 80s music was crap to your parents/grandparents so quit hating.
