The only year where "The Loco-motion" appears but isn't a Top Ten hit. INXS, Steve Winwood, Gloria Estefan and Taylor Dayne were particularly popular this year. As mentioned previously, George Michael, Whitney and Michael continue getting their number ones.

Some of these songs are from movies. These include:
#66- From the movie "Hiding Out"
#42- From the movie "Cocktail"
#40 and #25- From the movie "Dirty Dancing"
#29- From the movie "Buster"

In addition, #89 was created for the 1988 Olympics, and #88 was that song played in Michelob commercials(if it sounds familiar to you for some reason).
