(Finished December 13th, 2025) Part 1 Of the Top 51 Songs of 1986 and the Best of the Rest

Hello,

Since we are only days away from 2026- gasp!- I would like to follow up on some of the greatest songs of that year. I'm going to share videos of the Top 51 songs- how the heck did Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" finish #7 of the year end chart? This first blog is the best of the other 49 songs from this year end countdown. There were just so many great songs in 1986. Why 51 songs, because I usually have 17 songs on each blog. Special thanks to Billboard and Wikipedia for the information. 

The best of the rest and many of these songs are more worthy of the #7 spot than "Party All The Time":
