Nightmare On My Street brings back memories.

Same. I turned 16 in August and started my junior year. Those songs remind me of cool crisp fall days and practicing football with the whole world in front of me. At the time I didn't realize how good I had it. Great musical year.

I was a junior at LSU. What a time to be alive plus in college.

My cousin loved these people. Thought they were what *NSYNC turned out to be.

That's an underrated banger from Rick.
Underrated Huey song and video, too.

Robert Palmer seemed so cool with all those models dancing around him.

I started a lifelong career of self gratification after watching the video of #2 on the Hot 100

Of all the "big name acts" in the list of the top 23 i can see, none of these songs would be considered their best song, with the exception of maybe Sweet Child of Mine.

One more thing. I know Sammy turned VH into gay power ballad band from what they were with Dave, but they were still great.

Here's the Huey Lewis video. The TD interface only allows one video embed per post.

I thought that Joan Jett song was from the early 80s. I would never have guessed 1988.

Meanwhile in the mist shrouded forests of the northwest, a brooding, angsty, flannel wearing movement was watching, waiting, biding its time.

Elvis Presley had a song on the chart. He’s listed as a co-writer for Don’t Be Cruel.
There are other titans of the recording industry with songs that week. They aren’t as well known as the artists, but they were hugely influential and successful behind the scenes
Bernie Taupin as a songwriter.
Producers:
Jimmy Jam. & Terry Lewis
Robert “Mutt” Lange
Quincy Jones
Maurice Starr (created ‘Boy Bands’)

A lot of that was driven by MTV, especially the hard rock stuff. Appetite for Destruction was released in 1987 but didn't hit until 1988 when the Sweet Child and Paradise City videos came out on MTV. Def Leppard Hysteria had a similar trajectory, released in 87 but having huge impacts in 88 with additional videos being released. Combine that with Bon Jovi New Jersey and Poison Open Up and Say Ahh, 1988 was monster year.
MTV got me into music at a young age, that type specifically in 1988.
