After a 10 year throwback last year I have a 20 year throwback this year, how neat! And again it was also charting in the week of my birthday in its original run although way off making an earlier appearance on the list (was #66 for my 9th birthday). Great addition *.*

If the pattern continues, #30 this time next year will be something that appeared somewhere low down the chart of the week of my birth... I see 'Born Slippy' sneaking a re-entry in that week so rooting for that to make a random resurgence next year xo

DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.

How come??

Because how can you be 19 when I was born in 1992 and am also 19?

I thought you said just pick number of song positioned from your birth week depending on age each year.
