The Year in #1 Hits - 1988

I am starting a new feature today with what I call "The Year in #1 Hits".   I will pick a year and each day (I hope!) I will post, in order from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, all the songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for that year.
I am starting with, for no particular reason, 1988.   I would love some feedback on this and maybe request for certain years.   I will also try to include the UK Top 40 chart also for a little change of pace.

So lets get this party started for 1988


Up first from January 1st of 1988 - "Faith" by George Michael (4th of 4 weeks at #1)
