Assumed I was going to be choosing the #1, Sunday Girl by Blondie, but when I scanned the chart I spotted this on its way up to the top and it’s even better. One of the ultimate classics in synth music.

April 21st – A song you like from the Top 40 on the week you were born [Challenged by Chez Wombat]

 

Ironically the first time I heard this song was someone else singing it in an episode of 90’s show Stars In Their Eyes impersonating Freddie Mercury. The song itself peaked at #3 a few weeks before my birth, and on the week I was born it sat at #26. Full chart run: 16-7-7-4-{3}-6-9-15-26-44-51->11.

 

Queen – A Kind Of Magic

April 21st – A song you like from the Top 40 on the week you were born

 

I was immediately going to plump for the obvious, Alice Cooper's School's Out was #1, and another favourite - Roxy Music's Virginia Plain - was just outside the top 40 that week, but you can't ignore this utter classic, and it's probably the most influential TOTP performance ever - Chart from the week beginning 13/8/72
