The number 3's from 1987
Please rate the following out of 10. If you don't know a song, please look it up on Youtube before voting.
I'll tot the scores up at the end to see which is Havens favourite #3 of 1987. I'll probably leave it open for a few months, to make sure we get everyone's votes.
n.b. Where the single is listed as a double A side, I have gone for the "lead" of the two.
Curiosity Killed The Cat - Down To Earth Alison Moyet - Is This Love Robbie Nevil - C'est La Vie Mental As Anything - Live It Up Jackie Wilson - I Get The Sweetest Feeling Club Nouveau - Lean On Me Janet Jackson - Let's Wait A While Atlantic Starr - Always Heart - Alone George Michael - I Want Your Sex Cliff Richard - Some People Michael Jackson - Bad Bananarama - Love In The First Degree Rick Astley - Whenever You Need Somebody Proclaimers - Letter From America Comic Relief Presents Mel and Kim - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree Michael Jackson - It's The Way You Make Me Feel

Compare and contrast the two consecutive Stock Aitken Waterman songs that appear on the list. The first is a great pop song, the second pop songs by numbers..
Brenda Lee's version of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree was a #1 in my chart, and I'll see what is competing with I Get The Sweetest Feeling in its original year when I meet it in retro.

If you wonder why nothing gets less than 3 , this is the year I started my chart so the music in the top 40 especially has special meaning, there is only 3 I don't own on 7"

A set of tracks which are unlikely to produce an overwhelming favourite or an overwhelming least favourite. I predict a cluster of scores in the 5.00 to 7.00 range.

A set of tracks which are unlikely to produce an overwhelming favourite or an overwhelming least favourite. I predict a cluster of scores in the 5.00 to 7.00 range. Alison Moyet, Mental As Anything and Heart among the favourites, probably George Michael, Cliff Richard and Rick Astley near the bottom somewhere? George Michael was among my favourite singers of this era, but this one is awful. At this point he's making too deliberate an attempt to shake off the "Wham!" image. Cliff is now past the good stage of his career. This is the point it starts to go downhill for him.

Love the MAA track. It's one of those sweetly-constructed pop perfections.

I pegged a few as low scorers, but upon further hearing, they turned out better than I remembered. Quite a good year for #3s.
