1988 Countdown: #51-60 Roundup
While cleaning out my garage, I found an unexpected treasure: videotapes of the MTV year-end countdown for 1988, in its entirety. I’ve been working my way through the top 100, clip by clip, and have now reached the halfway point.
The fifth hour:
#51: Bobby McFerrin, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
#52: INXS, “Never Tear Us Apart”
#53: Chicago, “Look Away”
#54: Whitesnake, “Give Me All Your Love”
#55: Bruce Springsteen, “One Step Up”
#57: Bobby Brown, “My Prerogative”
#58: Paul Carrack, “Don’t Shed a Tear”
#59: Huey Lewis and the News, “Perfect World”
#60: Michael Jackson, “Smooth Criminal”
Ad time: Commercial Break #17, Commercial Break #18, Commercial Break #19, Commercial Break #20.
And the countdown’s previous hours: #61 to #70, #71 to #80, #81 to #90, and #91 to #100.
