1988 - Hits from Coventina's Collection

Note: As for 1981 & 1982, for this list, after #10 is from the UK charts, as I apparently didn't like much of what hit the US charts that year.
1-10 are from the Billboard Hot 100 for 1988, in the order they appear
11-17 are from the UK Top 100, in the order they appear, leaving out any redundancies from 1-10.
The last 4 are songs from that year that didn't make the final charts, but for which I have a personal fondness.

1. Need You Tonight - INXS
2. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
3. Don't Worry Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin
4. Red, Red Wine - UB40
5. Devil Inside - INXS
6. What Have I Done To Deserve This? - Pet Shop Boys
7. Desire - U2
8. New Sensation - INXS
9. Always On My Mind - Pet Shop Boys
10. Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
11. Push It - Salt 'n' Pepper
12. Heart - Pet Shop Boys
13. Orninoco FLow - Enya
14. A Little Respect - Erasure
15. I Want You Back - Bananarama
16. Blue Monday '88 - New Order
17. Breakfast in Bed - UB40 with Chrissie Hynde
18. Punk Rock Girl - Dead Milkmen
19. Dreaming - OMD
20. Alphabet St. - Prince
21. Rush Hour - Jane Wiedlin

"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is one of my all-time favorites. It is pure pop perfection. LonePirate May 2014 #1
