Thumbs up What song was No.1 on the day you were born

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you about the music site I run www.thisdayinmusic.com

We’ve just added all the Australian No.1 singles so you can see what was No.1 in the charts 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
‘Ben’ by Michael Jackson in Australia
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK

Loads of other stuff on the site as well.

Sorry - the information we have for the Australian charts starts in 1956. If you were born before this, try your life's theme song which is the No.1 on your 18th birthday

Try again

Yea
That'll be right !!!

Born:
Up Around The Bend - Creedence Clearwater Revival (Australia)

(They Long To Be Close) To You - The Carpenters (US)

The Wonder Of You - Elvis Presley (UK)



A Groovy Kind Of Love - Phil Collins (UK) went to number one on the day I got married which was also our bridal waltz song (plus was played as walked down the aisle) :

If I could remember the date I got divorced I would have looked that up too

At least I got one decent song (Creedence) that was a hit on the day I was born, but geez did one have to be an Elvis song (gawd I can't stand his music)
