View Full Version : What was No.1 on the day you were born?
Have you ever done this? http://www.thisdayinmusic.com
It shows you what song was at No.1 on the day you were born.
(Go to 'Birthday No.1' at the top of the site).
My number 1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia
Some songs are better than others!
Hi Neil,
Did you see your link in 'Creative Collections'? :)

Forever and Ever by 'Slik' apparently. :confused:
Never heard of them. I thought Abba were at number one on my birthday.
I've got the single, mate (on Bell records). Don't worry, you're not missing anything - it's shit! :D
Shane, nice try. You're just one year out with me - try 1965 :)
What was No1 in 1920 when you were born, then? Bet it sounded good on your dad's gramophone! ;)

Would be my dream to have been around 18 in 1969...I would have also loved to have been to the UFO & Middle earth clubs in the late '60's in London & the International Times lauch Party at the Roundhouse '1966
