#64 fight for your right +is number 71 on Canada 1987 year end chart +
The chart had "Fight For Your Right" by "Beastie Boys" (not "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" by "The Beastie Boys") so was never going to match

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You#20 is number 10 on 1987 Canada chart+

1987 top 100 songs
Hi Is it possible to make a DVD and CD of these songs and performers? How would one do that?
Please reply asap as I would like to do so tomorrow for Saturday. Thanks Eve
Firstly we don't distribute music from this site, secondly we don't get paid enough to do it that quickly

Spelling of title # 98
The correct spelling is "Küss die Hand schöne Frau" If you don't have an "Ü" or an "Ö" you can write alternatively "Kuess die Hand schoene Frau"
Greetings
Al
We have made the fix you suggested, thanks for the correction.
As you hinted we unfortunately can't have characters with accents in the names of artists, songs or albums. Not only is it a challenge to correctly handle accented characters but, more importantly, our sources all take different approaches to them (depending, we suspect, on the native languages of the implementers and the tools they use), so when we consolidate entries we have to take a well defined position. We've decided that the best way to be consistent is to avoid all non-ASCII characters.
We realise that this is a bad approach, however it is at least consistent.
If you find any other places where our woeful ignorance of German (or any other language) has resulted in some bad names we would be glad to receive any suggested fixes.
