My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1987

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 25, 2022

Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 4TH Friday of the month, so I go back 35 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 29TH 1987:

“Let It Be” – Ferry Aid
“Lean On Me” – Club Nouveau
“(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)” – The Beastie Boys
“I Get The Sweetest Feeling” – Jackie Wilson
“Respectable” – Mel And Kim

During the early evening hours of Friday March 06TH 1987 the MS Herald Of Free Enterprise car and passenger ferry – on its way to Dover England – capsized off the coast of Zeebrugge Belgium in the North Sea. 193 passengers and crew perished in shallow frigid water. There were 346 survivors.

A little over a week later a large ensemble of mostly British musicians got together to record a special version of The Beatles’ classic “Let It Be”. It was released as a single a week after that, and it went straight-in at # 1 on the British pop chart. All proceeds of the single went to a charity that supported the victims of the disaster and their families.

Here’s the official music video of this single:

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 15 years ago to April 2007. It’s when my favorite pop-punk band scored a # 1 smash with a fast-paced song that can wait another week.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !

JORDAN ST. CYR – Jordan’s “Weary Traveler” spends its 19TH week on my chart this week (including 10 weeks at # 1), and it actually climbs back up a notch to # 4. As a strong follow-up to last year’s overall # 1 smash – “Fires” – it now appears that “Weary Traveler” will be one of the top songs of 2022. It’s now the # 14 hit overall over the past 266 weeks.

TAUREN WELLS – Tauren is back with his 9TH hit on my chart over the past 5 years. That ties him with TobyMac for most hits on my chart since its resurrection 266 weeks ago. It’s a funky track that should get you up to dance. #DontHaveToFakeIt

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1992

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 18, 2022

It’s the 3RD Friday of the month, so I go back 30 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 22ND 1992:

“Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs)” – The KLF Ft. Tammy Wynette
“I’m Too Sexy” – Right Said Fred
“Black Or White” – Michael Jackson
“Good For Me” – Amy Grant
“I’ll Get By” – Eddie Money

Released late in 1991 – “Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs)” was a worldwide pop and dance smash featuring the lead vocals of Country Music Legend Tammy Wynette (recorded and produced in Nashville). And The KLF went out on top. It was their final single ever.

That right there is one of the greatest dance songs ever made. Period.

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 35 years ago to March 1987. It’s the week that a charity song hit # 1 on my chart. It was inspired by a horrific disaster on the North Sea.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !

WHAT YOU MISSED LAST WEEK – You missed Week 264 of my chart – because it wasn’t published – but it continued offline. “Jesus Is Coming Back” spent a 2ND week at # 1, and “Weary Traveler” slipped from # 2 to # 5. There were no new entries. Now that you’re caught up …

NEW # 1 – Singer-Songwriter Blessing Offor scores a # 1 smash on my chart with his debut song – “Brighter Days”. He’s got a positive ballad with powerful lyrics that’s breaking-out all across U.S. Christian radio as one of the top songs of the week for most increased plays.

♫ I know there’s gonna be some brighter days
I swear that love will find you in your pain
I feel it in me like the beating of life in my veins
I know there’s gonna be some brighter days
I know there’s gonna be some brighter days ♫

Blessing appeared on “Platinum Hit” in 2011- a short-lived music competition series on Bravo (an NBC cable network). He was also part of Season 7 (2014) of “The Voice” on NBC. Blessing is friends with Chris Tomlin, and they have recorded music together. He is on his imprint record label in partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group.
