My actual chart in 1987 skipped a week at the end of September - beginning of October. That coincided with the new chart date moving from Tuesday to Sunday, so the chart played on the chart show from one Sunday to the next also skipped a week.
It's heating up now with the quality of new entries all over. The past few weeks have had a few big ones but a lot of also-rans.

4th August 1987
It's straight in at 1 for the second track off the pending Actually album, giving Chris & Neil a 5th chart-topper and the 4th in a row, and also gives Dusty Springfield her comeback track, a first top 10 in err 18 years! Dusty was a mainstay of my youth and would have topped my theoretical charts 2 or 3 times in the 60's. So kudos both! The bad news is it stops Bananarama getting a first number one and SAW a second. Def Leppard get a first top 10, and Jacko keeps the top 10's a-coming 18 years on.
New Order climb high into the 20, Was (Not Was) into the 30, and The Colourfield cover The Monkees great non-single She, which enters at 27 giving Terry Hall 8 years of chart action. One of the oldest tracks to make my charts pops in at 48, for the late Ritchie Valens, as La Bamba fever grips the nation 28 years late.
In my playlisted tracks of the week (ie non-chart-eligible) there's some album tracks from recent albums that should have been singles, but record companies being a bit dense weren't spotted, one from Bucks Fizz which should have been the follow-up to Mamba Seyra, one from Human league which should have followed-up Human (and which eventually came out far too late in 1988), Abba's Agnetha and her decent track, and also the Abba boys' Just Like That for Gemini (not THAT Gemini, a Swedish act) using up half a song they had recorded with Abba (and much better it is too, short and sweet it finally came out in 1994-ish), expanded for their new hopefuls.

chart of 15 August 1987 (2nd of the 3 weeks, not that it actually was in the 3 weeks which in 1987 was Tuesday 14 July until Tuesday 4 August)

--(21) Beastie Boys - She's On It --(22) Los Lobos - La Bamba --(24) Heart - Alone --(25) Errol Brown - Personal Touch --(26) A-Ha - The Living Daylights --(27) Mel & Kim - FLM --(28) Cure - Catch --(29) Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine - Rhythm Is Gonna Get You --(30) Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls
Quite interesting: Andrew Gold and Dan Hill were both last in the chart around April 1978 and they both return this week as parts of duos. Andrew Gold is with Graham Gouldman as part of Wax, whose last single Right Between The Eyes didn't chart.
Starship and Dionne Warwick have chart careers going back to the 1960s and also enter so it's really quite a few veterans.
And we have an occasion where a singer isn't credited officially on a single but I've credited them anyway. Sheena Easton is clearly a co-vocalist on Prince's hit.
Richard Marx is a total newcomer though - this is his chart debut here. Ok let's play it.

4th August 1987It's straight in at 1 for the second track off the pending Actually album, giving Chris & Neil a 5th chart-topper and the 4th in a row, and also gives Dusty Springfield her comeback track, a first top 10 in err 18 years! Dusty was a mainstay of my youth and would have topped my theoretical charts 2 or 3 times in the 60's. When I did actually do my charts of the 60s Dusty Springfield reached number one twice, with "I Only Want To Be With You" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". And "Son Of A Preacher Man" fell short only peaking at #4. Christmas 1968 was extremely strong but the few weeks following were not and if it had been released a few weeks later it probably would have reached #1 ahead of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" which did top my chart in January 1969.

11th August 1987
It's a second week on top for Dusty & the Boys, and two at 2 for the 'Nanas, with MJ going top 3 with his first Bad single. Def Leppard grab a first top 5, and New Order get their biggest track since Blue Monday, rocketing up to 5. Wax get a second consecutive top 10, giving Andrew Gold 3 in total, and Graham Gouldman, ooh, at least a dozen. Was (Not Was) get a second top 20, and Then Jericho leg it up to 20 from 40.
Highest new entry is The Pretenders, and with an 007 Bond song from the latest movie, and already only 7 places below aha's theme track, their first single to fall-short of my top 10. Chrissie has had 8 years of non-stop entries, pretty much. Spagna brings some Eurocheese into the 40 - Call Me she says. Not if I have choice of Go West or Blondie Call Me's instead! Prince & Sheena climb big having the look of a top 30, and Linda Ronstadt also climbs into the 40 with James Ingram, 9 years since her 60's classic Different Drum bothered my charts as B side to a lesser cover.
Kim Wilde is boosted up to 40, as The Fat Boys and The Beach Boys do a rap cover of 60's surf classic Wipeout, a debut for the Fat Boys, and 19 years of hit-making for the Beach Boys, who featured in my first-ever chart, and regularly since. At 49, a modest entry for the latest SAW act to benefit from the Hit Factory, a young white lad with a soulful voice, Rick Astley and Never Gonna Give You Up. I doubt anyone has heard of the record, or him. I mean, the chances of production-line pop acts like Rick, soon-to-be Kylie, and Bananarama having music careers in 30 years-time must be very slim....
Jesus & Mary Chain bring another sweet-buzzsaw track into the charts, not the Garbage song, though Happy When It Rains is decent enough, and just behind a 60's smooth soul class act returns with Jeffrey Osbourne in tow, on Love Power. Dionne Warwick's entire classic 60's career was over, pretty much, by the time I started charting, so her actual debut was 1974 and Then Came You. She was of course, the major muse for huge numbers of Burt Bacaharach & Hal David songs. Well, the fab melody gives a clue - Burt is back, with Carole Bayer Sager on lyric duty some 10 years since she had her own hit with You're Moving Out Today, before becoming an in-demand hit songwriter.
The Smiths are also still charting, with one of their funniest songs, Girlfriend In A Coma. Who says Morrissey has no sense of humour?! At least I THINK it's supposed to be amusing.... Squeeze are back after a few years away, the catchy Hourglass reuniting Jules Holland with Chris & Glenn for their 10th anniversary. Like Love Power, this one was a big track on US radio for my forthcoming California hols. Finally a couple of Lovers Rock reggae entries down in the boondocks end of the chart, all on follow-up duties.
