A friend of mine says the song that was No.1 on the day you were born can have a profound effect on your life!

 

On the day Heather Mills was born (12th Jan 1968) it was Hello Goodbye by The Beatles!

Nah - it's been 10 years since two worse No1s had their reign at the top (Barbie Girl and Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh. And I highly doubt no-one was born in Britain when either of those songs were No1.

There are bad number 1's a long time ago ive learnt. Some of those songs would never be popular today, even if they were "modernised" i don't think novelty songs are AS popular, thought they're quite popular

A bit of history for anyone calculating their UK Birthday number one.

14/11/1952-26/2/1960 Charts dated and published in NME on a Friday.

10/3/1960-29/6/1967 Charts dated and published in Record Retailer on a Thursday. (Notice the missing chart week when changing charts, some people will have no birthday #1)

5/7/1967-5/2/1969 Charts dated and published in Record Retailer on a Wednesday.

12/2/1969-30/7/1969 First Official charts compiled by BMRB, Announced on Tuesday on Radio 1 and dated and published in Record Retailer on Wednesday.

9/8/1969-1/1/1983 BMRB, Announced Tuesdays on Radio 1, dated Saturday after announcement.

8/1/1983-10/10/1987 Compiled by Gallup, Announced Tuesdays on Radio 1, dated Saturday after announcement.

17/10/1987- 5/2/1994 Gallup, Announced Sundays on Radio 1, dated Saturday after announcement.

12/2/1994-present Compiled by Millward Brown for the Chart Information Network (CIN) now know as the Official Charts Company (OCC), Announced Sundays on Radio 1, dated Saturday after announcement.

 

Birthday#1s engines such as the one we're discussing tend to standardise with Saturday dates all through and therefore use the wrong chart if you're born on a Sun-Thur 1952-60, Sun-Wed 1960-1967, Sun-Tues 1967-1969 and Sun/Mon 1969-1987. This can still give the right #1 sometimes but can obviously be wrong a lot too. Should stress that I've not tested this particuar one to see if it does this or not.

i feel so old :cry: - i hate you all! :cry: :cry:

 

How do you think I feel? I'm 26, and yet I feel like the cryptkeeper.

:cry: :cry: You didn't make me feel any better - i'm older!! :cry: :cry: I don't wanna know what was no.1 when i was born! :cry: :cry:

How can you not know Killer? Its a classic dance hit.

 

And the singer was SEAL
