Update: 2025-08-14
Description
It’s the height of summer in 1987, and the UK charts are pulsing with swagger, sweetness, and surprise. On this week’s countdown, we’ve got undercover agents, high-gloss heartbreakers, chart re-entries, and actors-turned-crooners. From Bananarama’s whispered rumors to Los Lobos’ rooftop revolution, this chart delivers pure Gen X energy, playful, emotional, and genre-hopping in all the best ways. So roll down the car windows, cue up the boombox, and let’s rewind to the week when pop refused to sit still.
