context_page_description: Adult Contemporary is a chart published by Billboard ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music genre. In 1987, 22 songs topped the chart, then published under the title Hot Adult Contemporary, based on playlists submitted by radio stations.
  In the year's first issue of Billboard the number one song was "Love Is Forever" by Billy Ocean, which was in its third week at number one. It held the top spot for a single week in 1987 before being replaced by "This Is the Time" by Billy Joel. The third chart-topper of the year, "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and the Beaters, had originally been released in 1981 but met with little success. Several years later, however, it was used in the NBC sitcom Family Ties to soundtrack the romance between Alex P. Keaton and his girlfriend Ellen Reed, after which it was re-released and became a hit, topping both the AC chart and Billboard's all-genre listing, the Hot 100. A second song to top the AC chart in 1987 based on exposure on television was "Moonlighting", the theme song from the comedy-drama of the same name which aired on ABC.
