Bit of fun here, 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, it’s free, you don’t have to log in).

 

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 Jacskon in Australia

 

Some are better than others!

To get the correct number one on the day you were born, you have to know these things....

 

Between Feb 69 - Sept 87, the uk radio 1 chart changed on a Tuesday around 12.45pm. The dates books give are week/ending dates i.e. Saturdays mostly. The week-ending Saturday 15th Feb 69 (was actually a chart announced the tuesday before).

 

From Oct 87, the week-ending date 0f 10th Oct 87...the chart would have been announced the Sunday before!

 

Like as previous to Feb 11th 69, Radio 1, used an averaged chart...not in any book!!

My number one on my birth, was apparently Give it Up , from KC and the Sunshine Band, but my mum swears that it was Gold, by Spandau Ballet :)
