Interesting list. Rock was pretty much dead by then, I guess (except for Bryan Adams, Springsteen, and a few others). Most of these songs I don't even recognize. I think by this time I'd stopped listening to radio and was digging the indy scene. Weird to see 2 Wham! singles in the top 25.
Dude, what happened to the Steelers? What a heartbreaker. Ah well...
Wild Boys was the best song!
