Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown: Top 20 Songs – August 7, 1987

  • サマリー

  • This week on the Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we’re diving into the pop power, cultural crossover, and quiet courage of the week ending August 7, 1987; a chart that didn’t just bring the hits, it brought the heart.


    We’ve got:


    💃 Whitney, Madonna, and Janet bringing the dancefloor heat

    🎸 Richard Marx and Bob Seger turning up the guitars

    🎤 Suzanne Vega’s Luka quietly shifting the world

    🎬 Three songs from Beverly Hills Cop II that turned the soundtrack into a chart monster

    🎧 And U2’s #1 anthem of faith and searching, closing it all out


    Plus:

    ✨ A story about making mixtapes in your bedroom

    📸 A forgotten 1987 obsession that wasn’t a gadget

    🎙️ And an emotional sendoff as we drop the final episode of our Patreon-exclusive series, Top 80 Protest Songs of the 1980s; with Episodes 1 & 2 now available as bonus drops in the main feed.


    This countdown is more than just songs; it’s a reminder of how music carried messages we’re still listening to today.
