Where To Watch
How well do you know these hits from '88?
Timeless, memorable music. But how well do you remember it?
1988 was a leap year, but we hope you didn't leap over all the great songs that were released that year! Some serious hits and important work came out in '88.
1988 gave us a lot. The first Walmart Supercenter opened in Washington, Missouri. A gallon of milk cost $2.30, a loaf of white bread was 60 cents, and a dozen eggs were 89 cents. Back then, a 30-second Super Bowl ad cost $645,000.
But we're here to talk music! Or at least you are when you let us know how much you remember the hits of 1988!
