List of number-one hits of 1988 (Mexico)

This is a list of the songs that reached number one in Mexico in 1988, according to the Notitas Musicales magazine with data provided by Radio Mil[1](which also provided charts for Billboard's "Hits of the World" between 1969 and 1981).[2]

Notitas Musicales was a bi-weekly magazine that published two record charts:

  • "Canciones que México canta" ("Songs that Mexico sings"), which listed the Top 10 most popular Spanish-language songs in Mexico, and
  • "Hit Parade", which was a Top 10 of the most popular songs in Mexico that were in languages other than Spanish. For reasons unknown, the magazine stopped publishing the "Hit Parade" chart after April 1; the chart was again published on the 1 December issue, and then it was again discontinued until Notitas Musicales revived it in 1993.

Chart history
"Tú y yo somos uno mismo" by Mexican pop band Timbiriche (pictured) was the most successful Spanish-language song of the 80s in Mexico, staying 6 months at the #1 position.

  1. Despite this song being in Spanish, it was listed under the "Hit Parade" chart, perhaps because Los Lobos was a group based in the U.S. and not in a Spanish-speaking country.
