Thank you Francis for another fantastic video with many many great songs! Black's 'Everything Is Coming Up Roses' is just one example, glad it was a hit in Germany, such an underrated gem! 😀👍
Merci Francis for your another great German charts video. With no doubt 1988 is my favourite year of 80s music! It was a year full of biggest hits and the great memories! Michael Jackson with Dirty Diana & Smooth Criminal, Bros with When will I be famous? & I owe u nothing, A-ha with Stay on these roads & Touchy, Kim Wilde with You came & Never trust a Stranger, Rick Astley with Together forever& Take me to your Heart, Pet Shop Boys with Heart & Domino dancing, George Michael with One more try & Monkey, Belinda Carlisle with Heaven is a Place on Earth & Circle in the Sand, Blue System with My Bed is too big & Under my Skin, Sandra with Heaven can wait & Secret Land, Mory Kante with Yeke Yeke, U2 with Desire, Whitney Houston with One moment in Time, Eddy Grant with Gimme Hope Joanna, Kylie Minogue with I should be so Lucky & the Locomotion, France Gall with Ella elle l'a, Terence Trent D'arby with Sign your name, Salt'n'Pepa with push it, Yello with The Race, C. C. Catch with House of mystic Lights, Jermaine Stewart with Get Lucky, Taylor Dayne with Tell it to my Heart, Europe with Superstitious, Ofra Haza with Im nin alu, Milli Vanilli with Girl you know its true, Phil Collins with A groovy kind of love, Hazell Dean with Whos leaving Who, Black with Everythings coming up Roses, Eighth Wonder with I'm not scared, Sabrina with All of me, Bon Jovi with Bad Medicine, Bobby Mc Ferrin with Dont worry, be happy and many others. All this songs was big hits Worldwide! 1988 was also a year of Dirty Dancing movie. Enjoy ✌️✌️✌️
Fantastic fantastic Francis brilliant so many gems not the ones with one hit wonders u dig the deepest research there is proves there's so much more we will never get enough time in this short life but will live on in my eyes forever and ever endless legacy the 80s had and for me the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s
Great video - and we're in 1988! 'Sign Your Name' my favourite - sad that wasn't #1 anywhere. Such a beautiful song and Terrence's voice enhances it. Seductive yet heartbreaking. Good to see Kylie appreciated too, but we loved here much more. A shame Mandy Smith never had any hits here in her homeland, but good to see Europe appreciating her. She has a cute singing voice. 'She Wants to Dance With Me' is Rick Astley's best song. Much better than his lead single. Stock, Aitken and Waterman very much a force that year in the German charts. Italo disco pretty much disappeared, but German Euro disco still strong. Schlager very much a force but not as strong as it was in the late 70s / very early 80s. Good to see the Germans appreciate 'Say You Will' by Foreigner. Wasn't even a hit here. Good to see more love for Sam Fox too. Second 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' being an underrated gem. Prefer that to 'Wonderful Life'. Surprised not to see any Guns N Roses here. They were a force in the UK and US charts. Never understood why 'Man In The Mirror' was never a big hit anywhere. It's one of MJs best songs! Maxi & Chris Garden was the German entry and spelled the end of the German domination in Eurovision (bar Mary Roos 2.0 result) only finishing 14th. Germany would kill for that now in the contest! They should have gone in 1987! Appreciate this video 100% as always 👍. It's so interesting to see how Germany was doing with their charts in this golden decade for music.
Dalbello - Talk To Me , another "volume 2" that should be much higher !! same for : Belinda Carlistle - Get weak The Primitives- Crash Jane Widling - Rush Hour
The year of A-ha, INXS, U2, Pet Shop Boys - to name just a few. 30:36 was my all-time no.1 at my personal chart while 12:38 was a radio hit of decade in PL. Here we have songs of every genre from US, UK, EU-to be, remixes, covers, precious litlle diamonds ( 0:19, 1:56, 14:15, 18:06, 20:38, 26:47 and many more) + never-heard-before songs and at least three olympics anthems. Yeah, the olympic year - this is what 1988 was for music.
Once again you saved my Saturday evening, Francis 😉. This is so much work, thank you for this! I don't remember 1988 so fondly, this was my time in the military (German "Bundeswehr"), and it sucked! So I don't have the best memories regarding the charts in this year, either. In my opinion, this is already more 90s than "classic" 80s (which ended in 1986, imho). But this is obviously not your issue, Francis 😄. Your effort here is remarkable!
Yes total Agree with you and my father opinion (born 1969 and 15-20 years Era 1984-1989). He says, the last fantastic year of really 80's songs IS end 1986 beginning middle 1987 and After the transition in 90's Era during middle end 1987 and 1988-1989. He was on power fiesta diskothek student school ... Era 1983 until middle 1987 and he says After that the style change. For example, Era 1984-1986 for him IS the the same 3 years and fantastic (a lot of euro disco, italo disco, New wave, hard rock, funk, synthpop,électro pop,... Différent style in power during this Era) and 1987-1988 it was the end of all style (...) And the beginning for italo house, New beat, rap, hip hop, acid house, New jack swing, house Chicago,... And italo disco New wave euro disco was AT end and destroy by the New Style end 80's (look like as thé 90's). The better example IS italo disco for him. 1983-1986 very succees famous and 1987-1988 dead. Era 1985-1986 IS extremely différent from 1987-1988. This was the transition for my father and he hates song as confetti, yazz, sexpress, marrs, technotronic, lui Louis french kiss, black box, ... (For him this was shit in compare to italo disco New wave ... and the beginning of the end of the 80's) ^^. For me the 80's IS fascinanted because this Era as a lot of différebt style from 1980 to 1989. And Era 1983-1986 IS so différent from 1987-1989. Im born im 1992 but i love 80's Era and de are french ^^ (Haguenau near Strasbourg)
I see fancy, den Harrow, Sabrina, Sandra, cc-catch, Bad boy blue, blue système,... good artist for euro disco and italo disco. 1987-1988 was the end of them but last good song on power for them. 1988 was good for a-ha, pet shop boys, Éric Camen, foreigner, falco Wiener blut, ok okay (this IS a power sound between electropop synthpop Era 1985-1986 and New beat house 1988-1989). A-ha you are the one IS probably in 1989 german chart, this IS m'y favorite song a-ha. Bros was good too (when i will famous, quiet, owe you nothing), milli vanilli baby forget number. Confetti thé sound of c was probably in 1989 german chart. In french november 1988 entries and 5-6months ^^. Sexpress, yazz were hère. I hâte this song but they are good in this style.
I mentioned this on another video but I have a forum link that lists a lot of the songs that went to #1 in Israel between the late '60s and the mid '90s. You want me to send it to you for video fodder? I think it also lists all the charting entries for a bunch of years.
Unfortunately you have missed one of my favorite SAW songs of this year: Hazel Dean "Who's leaving who". This song peaked at #11 in June. It's not part of your video! 😱

To find and combine all these songs must be a lot if work. Thank you very much!
I HOPE GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU IN HEAVEN FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU HAVE DONE!
Great German Chart!!!!
Stop by Sam Brown is without a doubt a wonderful 80's classic!!!!
Thanks my friend 😊
1988 wurde ich gerade 12 Jahre alt. Manche von den Liedern kenne ich gar nicht. Andere sind natürlich legende. Deutschland war schön.
Thank you for this
I’ll say it once and I’ll say again tell it to my heart should’ve gone to number one here in the states!
Thanks For Sharing!
It's wonderful that FANCY's songs were included in this chart!!!
what a year! thanks for the compilation! Pack jammed, Paid in full, walk the dynosaur, shakatak....
A really good year for Stock/Aitken/Waterman. 1983-1987 were the best 80s years for music, but 1988 was still damn good...

Ooops.... maybe I was too blind! 😶
Too much Kylie for my liking although 'Got To Be Certain' was a great song. Agnetha forever!
