Opening Song: "The Final Countdown" - Europe (ironic title, I know)
Epic Records
TW: 14 weeks T40: 9 weeks T10: 2 weeks
Peak: #8(2 weeks) Date: 3.28.1987

So starts the era of four number one singles being from one album, with the likes of George Michael and Whitney Houston starting things off with their "Faith" and "Whitney" albums and later Michael Jackson going for that 5 with "Bad".

Some of these songs are from movies. These include:
#96- From the movie "Over The Top" by Sylvester Stallone
#90 and #9- From the movie "Beverly Hills Cop ll"
#67- Re-release for the movie "Stand By Me"
#46 and #42 - From the movie "Who's That Girl?" (#46 makes it obvious)
#27 - From the movie "Dirty Dancing"
#11 - From the movie "La Bamba"
#5 - From the movie "Mannequin"

In addition, #20 appeared frequently on the sitcom Family Ties, while the video to #92 alludes to British the 1960s TV spy series "The Avengers" (just in case you're wondering).
