Went through my itunes. So many good songs that I'm doing a Top 15! Some came from 1986 albums but weren't released til 87 and some were from 87 albums but didn't get airplay til 88. But here goes...

1. You Should Have Waited - Five Star
2. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston
3. Make It Real - The Jets
4. Angel Eyes - Wet Wet Wet
5. Always - Atlantic Starr
6. Big Fun - Gap Band
7. Michael Jackson - I Just Can't Stop Loving You
8. Criticize - Alexander O'Neal
9. You Win Again - Bee Gees
10. Shake You Down - Gregory
11. Surrender - Gloria Estefan
12. Breakout - Swing Out Sister
13. Who's That Girl - Madonna
14. Lean On Me - Club Nouveau
15. So Emotional - Whitney Houston

Bangles would've got in there but wiki is saying it was released 1986, despite selling more singles in 1987.
