Since Owl City is my favourite artist, and Good Time is his second most successful charting single, this is significant. On 30/08/1987, Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astely was number one, the week after my birthday. The song is still on my iPod and is the oldest song in the chart on my iPod to date.
