I'm continuing posting songs from the very fertile period of the amazing songs of 1985. This was a great time to be George Michael, Madonna, Micheal Jackson, Duran Duran, Dire Straits, Whitney Houston and Prince.
The top selling CD of 1985 was Bruce Springsteen's class CD "Born In The U.S.A.":
"Born In The U.S.A.":
"Darlington County":
"No Surrender":
(This text thanks to Wikipedia's Billboard entry.) The two longest running number-one singles of 1985 are
"We Are The World" by USA for Africa:
"We Are The World" by USA for Africa:
and "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie which each logged four weeks at number-one: "Say You, Say Me" logged two weeks at number-one in 1985 and two more additional weeks in 1986, reaching a total of four.
The #1 song on Billboard's 1985 year end countdown was George Michael's heartbreaking "Careless Whisper":
1985 was also the year of Whitney Houston's debut CD, very cleverly her name. Just wait until her next CD, which was another creative name. But her debut CD was amazing, these are some of the best songs from it. "How Will I Know":
"You Give Good Love":
"All At Once":
"Greatest Love of All":
This song features Teddy Pendergrass "Hold Me":
From the "Vision Quest" soundtrack:
Madonna "Crazy For You":
Journey "Only The Young":
Red Rider "Lunatic Fringe":
Chaka Kahn "I Feel For You":
Tears For Fears "Everybody Wants To Rule The World":
Dire Straits "Money For Nothing":
Paul Young "Every Time You Go Away":
