Billboard's Top 200 Songs by Peak - 1988

[@jenniferkubik478]

My year. Will always be my year musically with my favorites. I loved 1987-1988 and still do.

[@TheEmaile]

These songs represent so many seasons of my life! Had no idea they were all from one year. Probably the best year of my life (so far).

[@rkyrkrdo]

Amazing year of music!! The soundtrack of my military service in Germany!! Thank you so much hot music charts for such a great work of putting all these together and for bringing back such awesome memories!! Music like these is rare these days!!

I was born on July 24, 1988. What about you?

[@TMANN-jo1ps]

2088 Anyone?

[@kendall6515]

This is awesome. I wish someone would do one with every peak. Then do one for every peak on the pop stations and each billboard chart thereafter. That be awesome.

[@joshuad450]

Awesome songs! This video brings back a lot of great memories!

[@ГеоргийПопов-е5ч]

What year, what competition - MJ and GM give out the best and they are not in the first place, and among them the rejuvenated "dinosaur" George Harrison, 88 magic number, infinite music about infinite love

[@vs271]

Very few stinkers in that top 200. Do this for today's music and very few good songs. Good job on the video

[@rkyrkrdo]

A big Amen to that!!😊😊

[@thomaslumpkin4162]

Of all the 8 years in a decade this is the best. 1998, 2008, & 2018 could never compete (unless they're remixed).

[@TMANN-jo1ps]

2028 to 2888.

[@SWLinPHX]

Such great music and such great talent. All big superstars. There’s not one song on this list I don’t remember. I follow the charts very closely. But I really did not expect Steve Winwood’s “Roll With It” to be number one out of all those good ones!

[@buddyatiny]

So interesting once again 💜👍

Lot of great songs! Memories of 9th and 10th grade, and starting to drive.

[@mauriliopasquinineto]

E a debbie Gibson está nesta lista,com duas músicas próprias de seu disco de estreia

[@TheEmaile]

How did ‘Push It’ peak at 19?! I remember it being the most played song. Also, Suave’s ‘My Girl’ brings back memories!! Funny that I only recognize about 75% of the songs even though I was a total top 40 junkie!

[@ichirotintin6687]

interesting chart. 1983-87 please

[@Ratt2004]

Awesome list, just wish artists like Dan Reed Network, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, & Bardeaux would have been mentioned. Seemed like you start at #35 every single year though from what I see...

[@user-dh4mi6ir2m]

The cover version from 4:54-5:00 -- #152, and from 15:30-15:36-- #46 The Loco-Motion Rick roll 19:35-19:42 #5

[@SWLinPHX]

There were a lot of cover tunes here, like “Red Red Wine”

[@user-dh4mi6ir2m]

Can you give a time stamp for the song My Girl?

[@melodyanderson7914]

List is hit or miss until the top 35! All top 35 are really good songs!

[@JJ-qs9hu]

I own every single one of these on vinyl records.

[@BaseballPlayer0]

Great year for music

[@duduche6]

From continental Europe, I didn't know Pet shop Boys Rick Hastley or Kylie had many hits in USA. I thought they were one hit wonders over there. Also surprised by Samantha Fox 'Naughty girl' as n°3.

[@cherylrutter3675]

Out of all of those songs,I only liked 45 of them.

[@derekkinman7492]

and the number 1 winner of top 200 of 1988 goes to steve winwood roll with it

[@jonogren5567]

Hate that song back than. I still do.

[@samfeldstein4498]

I didn't know Swing Out Sister had a second top 40 hit

[@tur74d56]

They had many in the U.K. , the Amercian market was as usual to slow to catch on

Number 149 is incorrectly listed as 145 (the list goes 150 - 145 - 148 - 147 - 146 - 145)

Y'all made this whole video just to Rick roll us all.

[@MrBrettley]

This is inaccurate: I listened to the "American Top 40' end of year countdown for the Billboard 100 singles in 1988 and #3 was George Harrison Got My Mind Set On You, #2 was INXS Need You Tonight, #1 was Faith George Michael. I even recorded it on tape (yes, actual cassettes) so I remember it well

[@MrBrettley]

@underzero26 I stand corrected

[@pt40bychrislarcena]

thats the official year ender which is actually based on points system depending on the songs hot 100 performance, this list is based on the songs peak position

[@perseusjoppa426]

The video description explains well the criteria for this countdown, so different from the actual year end chart of the Billboard Hot 100.

Rather interesting that most of the top 200 songs were top 10 hits and the top 100 all hit #8 or higher. Usually, in the top 100 songs of the years, there are a few songs that never made the top 10 and often a few that never made the top 20. Also interesting that only one song was #1 for 4 weeks and only two were 31 for three weeks and many spent one week at #1.

It was such an awesome year for music; from someone who lived it I validate your comment!!

To many rock songs you put in which we’re minor hits , I think you are basing it on your own tastes rather then the real chart

This is the real chart. All songs are ranked by their Billboard peak.

[@faceofkongos516]

1989 was way worse but 1988 is at least still filled with interesting hits and artists were still trying unlike 1989 which introduced you know Milli Vanilli.

[@patcrites5274]

You spelled 1988 was very good tear in music, there I fixed it for you

[@crealkillr]

Some of these are classics! I honestly believe that any artist that could remix/ convert some of these songs into something modern would be a huge hit. Sure you may need to share royalties to the original artist, but its a win win. If the song isnt known by the current generations, it would bring it back into circulation. Im just saying... I would listen to these songs in a new genre, new sound, or remix version. I dont know the headache of trying to get permissions, but these songs would be popular if a good singer/ artist could do something with it. THAT SAID, i also think if someone made a tik tok of a song (which is known to happen) from this list, it would also bring it back into circulation. It's been known to happen to fleetwood mac, among other artists (sorry i dont use tik tok). I love music, and even i havent heard some of these songs before.

[@crealkillr]

Alot of these songs are new to me, and although i dont see myself buying them for my ipod any time soon, i do think that if a modern artist were to cover them (or better, remix it) it could be a hit on the radio. Like i said above, it would draw attention to a old song, and possibly bring it back into popularity and circulation.
