I hope 1987 gets more love. It’s 1988 and you MAY VOTE for MORE THAN ONE SONG.
Twenty five songs reached number one in Canada in 1988, including George Michael’s “Faith”.
None of these artists are Canadians but it was a good year for Australians. Which ones will you vote for?

#3

This year has more excellent songs than the previous two or three years. I picked seven: Beds are Burning, New Sensation, I Don’t Want to Go On with You Like That, Fast Car, Monkey, It Would Take a Strong Strong Man, Look Away.

#4

Kissing A Fool
Pump Up The Volume
Fast Car
Beds Are Burning

In that order.

I wasn’t a fan of George Michael in his heyday but in retrospect, he had a few good songs. I’ve really liked Kissing A Fool from the start, however.

And I didn’t know what to make of Pump Up The Volume in 1988 but I’m quite fond of it now along with a couple of other “dance” songs with a similar vibe from that time.
