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.
